P retty birthday card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- card from Poppy Parade Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Poppy Parade Cardstock
- 3" x 5-1/4" of dark green filigree on lighter green background design from Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper
- roughly cut a large and small rose with pinecones and greenery from the sheet of Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper with the large rose groupings on white background design using Paper Snips
- 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
Pick out the large, rectangular lace die from the Stitched Lace Dies. Put it over the large Poppy Parade rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tools on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the lace cut out to the center of the front of the Poppy Parade card.
Pick out the label die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies that cuts out a stitched label that is 2-5/8" wide. Put it on top of the dark green filigree on lighter green background design Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Paper on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Tip: You may have to press fairly firmly along the edges of the die to pop the cut out loose.
Adhere the designer paper cut out to the center of the front of the card.
Pick out the large die from the Roses Dies that cuts out the grouping of roses, pinecones, and greenery. Put it on top of the roughly cut out design from the Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Paper on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool.
Adhere the cut out roses, pinecones, and greenery to the front of the card so it is centered side to side over the label die cut out and closer to the top.
As you are ready to stamp using the Magnolia Blooms Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "thank you" or "happy birthday" sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Poppy Parade Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Pick out the smaller, angular label die from the Roses Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
Cut a 4" piece of Gold 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon so it has sharp angles on each end.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the ribbon to the back of the sentiment label cut out so it is centered and the ends of the ribbon stick out on the left and right sides.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape and add more adhesive if needed. Adhere the sentiment label cut out with ribbon attached to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom of the roses, pinecones, and greenery cut out and is slightly to the right of center.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up 4 small dots from a sheet of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots being sure to get the adhesives as well. Adhere them to the four corners of the lace cut out on the front of the card.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up a medium or large dot from a sheet of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots being sure to get the adhesive as well. Adhere it to the center of the large rose in the center of the roses, pinecones, and greenery cut out.
