F all themed birthday card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and specialty paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Old Olive Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Cork 12" x 12" Specialty Paper
- 2" x 3-1/2" Old Olive Cardstock
Mount the coneflowers/echinacea image from the Nature's Harvest Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal cork rectangle on the left side.
Put the stamped cork paper on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark and Light Cajun Craze Stampin' Blends to color in the petals of the flowers.
Use the Dark and Light Soft Suede Stampin' Blends to color in the cones on the two larger flowers.
Use the Dark and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color in the leaves and stems.
Adhere the stamped and colored cork paper to the front of the Old Olive card.
Mount the "happy birthday" sentiment from the In Your Words Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal strip of Old Olive Cardstock. Leave room to punch it out.
Unlock the Tailored Tag Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Cut a 4" piece of the 3/8" Diamond Weave Ribbon so it has a sharp angle at each end.
Using a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive, adhere the piece of Diamond Weave Ribbon to the back of the sentiment punch so the ribbon sticks out on either side.
Wrap the end of the gold Simply Elegant Trim around your fingers a few times making loops. Cut the trim loose from the spool.
Put some Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the sentiment punch out with ribbon attached. Remove the protective backings and adhere the loops of Simply Elegant Trim to the dimensionals so they peek out around the edges of the sentiment punch out.
Adhere the sentiment punch out with ribbon and trim attached to the lower right side of the card front.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three different size gems from a sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them in a rough triangle in the upper right corner of the card.
