Dress Up A Simple Birthday Card

This is a card that would be pretty with just the flower and sentiment layered on the patterned paper or you can flick some ink, add some jewels and ribbon to dress it up! Either way, it’s beautiful!

 
 

I used the Art Gallery Bundle for the stamp and dies. This is one of the bundles that’s on sale as part of the Savings Are In Bloom Promotion. During the month of March, 2022 the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine along with select bundles that are compatible with the machine are 20% off. It’s a great savings.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Thick Basic White Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper - cut using the largest Rectangle Stitched Die.

  • Adhere to card base OR dress it up by wrapping a piece of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon around it first.

  • Basic White Cardstock - cut using 4th from largest Rectangle Stitched Die and stamp sentiment on bottom corner with Polished Pink Ink. I stamped the word “Birthday” first by covering “Happy” with a Post-It Note, inking it, removing the Post-It Note and then stamping. Clean the stamp and repeat for “Happy”

  • Dress it up by flicking some ink with a Polished Pink Stampin’ Write Marker. Using the cap, flick the brush end of the marker to splatter ink on the white layer.

  • Stamp flower with Polished Pink Ink. Stamp the large background stamping off first, then stamp the detailed image direct. Stamp the leaves with Pear Pizzazz Ink. Cut both pieces using the coordinating dies and adhere to white layer.

  • Add layer to card using a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheets or Dimensionals.

  • To dress it up, tie a bow with the ribbon and add 3 Polished Pink Jewels.

 
 

The ink splattering is very light but adds some extra texture to the card.

 
 

On the inside layer stamp the sentiment with Polished Pink Ink. I used the sentiment from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. Stamp the leaves with Pear Pizzazz Ink and the smaller flower with Polished Pink Ink.
