E asy birthday card using the paper-piecing technique and Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut card stock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Emerald Envy Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Peekaboo Peach Card Stock
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Very Vanilla Card Stock
- 1" x 3-3/4" from Emerald Envy Card Stock
- 1-1/2" x 3" rectangle of multi-colored dots on Sweet Sugarplum background design of paper from Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack
Open the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and slide one short edge of the vanilla rectangle into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
Mount the elegant lady with the hat image from the Beautiful You Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla tag. Do not remove the stamp from the block.
Ink up the stamp again and stamp it on the piece of Playful Palette Designer Series Paper.
Use Paper Snips to carefully cut out the dress and the hat from the image stamped on the designer paper.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the hat and dress cut from the designer paper over the same parts of the image stamped on the vanilla tag.
Open the Banner Triple Punch and slide one short edge of the Emerald Envy strip into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
Without adhering it, lay the stamped tag on the Peekaboo Peach rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the top and the right side. Without adhering it, lay the punched Emerald Envy strip across the bottom of the tag so the notch is to the left and sticks out past the tag about 3/4". Don't worry if the strip sticks out on the right side, you'll trim it off later.
Mount the birthday sentiment from the Beautiful You Set on Block B. Use the brush tip of the Basic Black Marker to carefully ink up only the words "happy birthday." Do not ink up the comma or the word "gorgeous." Breathe on the stamp to make sure the ink is moist and stamp the sentiment in the center of the Emerald Envy strip so it will be centered under the image of the lady.
Remove the tag and the Emerald Envy strip for now. One at a time, tear off strips of the various Playful Palette Designer Washi Tape patterns that are each about 3-1/2" long. Adhere them across the center of the Peekaboo Peach rectangle so that the long edges fit up next to each other.
Adhere the tag across the washi tape strips on the right side so the top and right sides are about 1/2" in from the top and right sides of the Peekaboo Peach rectangle.
Adhere the Emerald Envy strip across the bottom of the tag so the bottom of the dress is hidden and the sentiment is centered under the image of the lady. Trim off excess card stock on the right side using Paper Snips.
Adhere the Peekaboo Peach rectangle to the front of the Emerald Envy card.
Adhere one small round Sweet Sugarplum shape from the 2016-2018 In Color Enamel Shapes in the center of the Emerald Envy strip on the right side. Adhere two small round Peekaboo Peach shapes above and below it.
Cut an 8" piece of each of Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine and Emerald Envy Solid Baker's Twine. Put the two pieces together and tie a small bow. Trim the ends. Adhere the bow to the top of the tag with a Mini Glue Dot.
