So here&#8217;s the first card post for 2026&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This card is a little different in that it was made using a digital cutting file that I brought from Etsy (link listed below) and my Cricut. I think I&#8217;m in the minority that have never read nor watched the films so I always feel out of my depth when it comes to Harry Potter but when I needed a card for one of my sons friends who is a Harry Potter fan I came across this digital file on Etsy which actually contains versions of the 3 main characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I picked out various colours of card from my stash and cut each layer out, all the layers are stuck together using liquid glue and I used glossy accents to create the glass for his glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Blog2.2.png\" alt=\"Harry Potter handmade birthday card. \" class=\"wp-image-720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Blog2.2.png 1000w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Blog2.2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Blog2.2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Blog2.2-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m really happy with how it turned out and I&#8217;m glad I now have them on stand by for any other Harry Potter fans I need cards for! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for stopping by, I have listed my supplies below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Etsy \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/uk\/listing\/4356841242\/harry-friends-layered-cutting-file?ref=yr_purchases\">Harry &amp; Friends Layered Cutting File (DIGITAL FILE)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papermilldirect.co.uk\/paper-card\/black-plain-card-240gsm\">Black Plain Card 240gsm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papermilldirect.co.uk\/paper-card\/gold-plain-card-240gsm\">Mango Yellow 240gsm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papermilldirect.co.uk\/paper-card\/blush-plain-card-240gsm\">Blush Plain 240gsm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papermilldirect.co.uk\/paper-card\/baby-pink-plain-card-240gsm\">Baby Pink Plain 240gsm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papermilldirect.co.uk\/office-papers\/a4-210x297mm-pro-design-300gsm\">White Pro Design 300gsm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limetree Craft &#8211; Poinsettia 240gsm (Not on website but this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limetreecraft.com\/product\/persian-red-200\/\">similar<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HobbyCraft \u2013 Gold Glitter Card (Discontinued)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ranger \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Ranger-Mini-Glossy-Accents-Clear\/dp\/B004JPYUM6?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&amp;ref_=fplfs&amp;smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&amp;th=1\">Glossy Accents<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Bearly-Art-Precision-Craft-Dries\/dp\/B07Y6RWHP1\/ref=asc_df_B07Y6RWHP1?mcid=ce06a5d4ea683df6909d4cb972c18c08&amp;hvocijid=14954626875934240027-B07Y6RWHP1-&amp;hvexpln=74&amp;tag=googshopuk-21&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=696285193871&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14954626875934240027&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9191814&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435177418&amp;gad_source=1&amp;th=1\">Bearly Arts Precision Craft Glue <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year!
