Fancy Birthday Card

Here’s a Fancy Birthday card to say Happy Birthday to a special person. For the amount of time and math I had to do for this card, there is likely going to be only 1 card made by me so it will have to go to a special person.

My first thought was that I could do this for a class but then I had a better thought – NOT! Not only was there a certain amount of math involved in lining up the square cuts, the card took some time to complete.

That’s why this card is for a special birthday, because a special person will receive it.

Instructions:

1. Cut 4 pieces of 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Sahara card stock
2. Cut 4 pieces of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Best Ever Day DSP – use a different pattern for each piece
3. Attach the DSP to the card stock.
4. Using the Big Shot and the 3rd largest Squares Collection framelit, cut a square in the center of each panel.  Make sure you do the math so that they holes line up.  The Square Framelit was lined up at each side – 3/4″ from inside edge of square For top and bottom alignment – 1-1/4″ from the inside edge of Square Framelit to top edge.  Do the same measurement for the bottom edge.
5. With the short edge against the score board, score each panel at the 2-1/8″ mark.  Fold and burnish with Bone Folder.
6. Attach each panel together with adhesive. Line up edges and score lines. Before attaching the last panel, cut a 2″piece of Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine and fold in half.  Lie the Baker’s Twine on the score line and attach.  Leave about 1/2″ hanging below for the sentiment panel.
7. Cut 2 pieces of Crushed Curry card stock – 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
8. Cut 2 pieces of Whisper White Card stock – 2″ x 2″
9. Stamp the sentiment from the Big Day stamp on to the Whisper White card stock with Tuxedo Black ink.
10. Color the big letters using Blendabilities.
11. Stamp the word “Celebrate” on Whisper White using VersaMark.  Heat emboss with Crushed Curry embossing powder and cut out.  Attach to the sentiment using dimensionals.
12. Attach the Whisper White sentiment to the Crushed Curry card stock.  Remember to attach the Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine in the top center between the 2 layers.
13. Finally, tie a 5″ piece of Daffodil Delight Seam Binding ribbon around each outside panel..
14. Stamp the remaining sentiment on one of the panels.

This is a fun card to create and will definitely wow that special birthday person.
