Basketball Birthday Card Ideas
Basketball cards are made for hoop dreamers — a bouncing ball, boy and girl players, a trophy, and a backboard ready for the game-winner. Great for a sporty party or a birthday between games.
You'll find an orange basketball, a boy and a girl in uniform, two kids mid-game, a kid spinning a ball on one finger, a gold trophy, a backboard with the ball dropping through, and a hoop — plus a coloring page of kids playing.
Choose a design, add your message, and print a folded card at home.

How to print and fold
No special supplies — just your printer and about two minutes.
- Customize your cardAdd your photo or artwork and type your message in the Foldy Cards editor. It's free and there's no account to create.
- Download the PDFDownload the ready-to-print PDF to your phone or computer. You can email it to yourself and print from anywhere.
- Print on letter paperPrint the single page on standard 8.5 x 11 in letter paper. Regular printer paper works; slightly heavier paper makes a sturdier card.
