DO THIS STEP FIRST!
Mount the knitting llama image from the Zany Zoo Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the larger white rectangle.
Pick out the matching knitting llama die from the Zany Zoo Dies. Put it on top of the image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Place the knitting llama cut out 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 Light and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends to color in the chair, the llama's eyelids, and the inside of the llama's ears.
Use the Light and Dark Night Of Navy Stampin' Blends to color in the yarn ball, string, and knitted scarf.
Use the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color in the llama's hooves.
Use the white Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics to add texture to the llama, leaving the face, ears, arms, and legs clear. Set aside to allow to dry.
Fold the Fresh Freesia card on the score lines and use the Bone Folder to crease the scores.
Adhere the two pieces of tulips on blue Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper to the two front flaps of the card.
Fold the long strip of flowers on white Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper around the center of the closed card. Use small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the ends together on the front of the card.
Mount the "happy birthday to you" or "you're too wonderful" sentiment from the Zany Zoo Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the vertical Fresh Freesia rectangle.
Pick out the rounded corner rectangle die from the Nested Essentials Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 2-3/8" x 3". Put it on top of the sentiment stamped Fresh Freesia rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is in the upper right corner. Run through the machine.
Put strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the center of the back of the rectangle cut out and adhere it to the front of the card on top of the belly band. Make sure no adhesive goes over the edges of the belly band or the card won't open.
Pick out the set of three tiny tulips die from the Zany Zoo Dies. Put it on top of one side of the small white rectangle a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Remove the cut outs with the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick. Repeat on the other side of the rectangle so you have 6 little tulips.
Place 5 of the tulips on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Use the fine tip of the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color the tops of 2 of the tulips. Use the fine tip of the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends to color the top of 1 of the tulips. Use the fine tip of the Light Night Of Navy Stampin' Blends to color the top of 1 of the tulips. Leave the top of the remaining tulip white. Use the fine tip of the Dark Night Of Navy Stampin' Blends to color the stems of all the tulips.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the colored tulip cut outs to the right side of the sentiment rectangle as shown.
Once the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics on the llama cut out is dry, adhere the llama cut out to the front of the card on the left side of the sentiment rectangle as shown using Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
