Cut cardstock and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Whisper White Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Berry Burst Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-7/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1" x 4-1/4" from Silver Foil Sheets
Mount the large flower image from the Heartfelt Blooms Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center top of the 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" white rectangle.
Place the bottom 1-1/2" of the stamped white rectangle into the floral patterned folder from the Petal Pair Embossing Folders so the bottom of the cardstock is about half way down the folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Make sure the cardstock and embossing folder do NOT hang out over the edges of the platform or they will catch the edges of the Big Shot as you crank them through which could tear your cardstock and damage your folder and Big Shot. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the stamped and dry embossed white rectangle to the Berry Burst rectangle.
Mount the "happy" image from the Happy Wishes Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2-1/4" x 3-7/8" strip of white so that the top of the "h" is very close to the top of the cardstock.
Mount the "wishing you a" sentiment from the Happy Wishes Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Basic Gray Ink Pad. Stamp it over the "appy" in the word "happy."
Mount the word "birthday" from the Happy Wishes Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Basic Gray Ink Pad. Stamp it under the word "happy" in the arch created by the flowers.
Unlock the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch. Slide one long side of the strip of Silver Foil Sheets into the punch so it butts up against the guide at the back of the punch. Punch. Slide the punched foil sheet over a little bit and line up the punched area with the silver design printed on the base of the punch. Punch again. Repeat until the entire length has been punched.
Tip: I sometimes find it easier to line things up with this punch if I turn the punch over so I can see the punching area. I then line up the punched areas with the designs of the punch before punching again.
Adhere the punched strip of Silver Foil Sheets behind the top of the stamped white strip so the loops show. Trim off excess foil sheet on the sides.
Adhere the stamped white strip with the foil sheet punch out attached to the large stamped and dry embossed white rectangle so that about 3/4" of the dry embossing shows.
Cut a 5" piece of Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the layers so it covers the seam between the sentiment layer and the dry embossed layer. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the layers. Adhere the layers to the front of the Whisper White Thick card.
Pick out a flower embellishment from the Petal Passion Embellishments. Adhere it to the right side of the ribbon at an angle using a Mini Glue Dot.
