Have a Wild Birthday |
|
T his is a great birthday card for the man in your life. The cork paper adds an interesting texture to the bear. The Expressions in Ink paper provides shades of Evening Evergreen for the trees.
Card Base: Cut Evening Evergreen 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.
Card Mat: Cut Very Vanilla 4 X 5 ¼ .
Card Front: Cut Wood grain print paper from the In Good Taste paper pack 3 ¾ X 5. Attach the card front to the Vanilla mat. Attach these to the Evergreen card base.
Use the Rectangle Stitched dies to cut the smallest rectangle in the group of 4, and the 3rd smallest in the larger group of rectangles from Very Vanilla.
Use the smallest bear in the Polar Bear dies and cut the bear from cork paper. Use the smallest trees in the Christmas Tree dies to cut the trees from the Evening Evergreen & gold print paper in the Expressions in Ink paper pack.
Attach the larger vanilla rectangle to the left corner of the wood grain card front. Attach the trees to the larger vanilla rectangle (use picture for placement) and attach the cork bear with mini dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment from Wild Cats with Evening Evergreen ink on the smaller vanilla rectangle. Attach this rectangle to card front with mini dimensionals.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
