Special Birthday
My husband’s sister recently celebrated her 70th birthday and today I am sharing the card I made for her. I followed Lyn Dunn’s intructions that she shared here. I began by cutting all my card bases from Thick Basic White card. I added layers of Night of Navy card to each panel and attached them to the card bases. I added a layer of retired Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to the left hand panel on the card base before I attached the folded card base to the right hand side. For the decoration on the front of the card, I added a layer of Basic White card which I embossed using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I cut Basic White card using the largest circle from the now retired Layering Circle Dies. I stamped the greeting from the retired Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the Basic White circle using Night of Navy ink. I attached the stamped circle to a scalloped Night of Navy circle cut using the retired Layering Circle Dies. I stamped the large solid flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the detailed flower over the top using Fresh Freesia ink.
I stamped the large leafy image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Soft Sea Foam ink. The flowers and leaves were cut out using the co-ordinating Two-Tone Flora Dies. I attached one set of leaves and one flower flat onto the stamped Basic White circle and the other flower and leaves using dimensionals. To decorate the front of the flip out panel I cut Basic White card using the largest circle from the retired Layering Circle Dies and stamped another greeting from the retired Peaceful Moments stamp set using Night of Navy ink.
I attached the stamped circle to a scalloped Night of Navy circle cut using the retired Layering Circle Dies. The panel is attached over the end of the flip out panel. I stamped another of the solid flowers from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink which I had stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the detailed floral image over the top using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the double leaf image from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card three times using Soft Sea Foam ink. The images were all cut out using the co-ordinating Two-Tone Flora Dies.
I layered the flowers and leaves onto the stamped Basic White circle below the greeting. To decorate the back of the flip out panel, I cut Basic White card using the largest circle from the retired Layering Circle Dies. I cut the numbers from Night of Navy card using the retired Large Numbers Dies. I attached the numbers to the circle and then to the back of the end of the flip out panel. The last panel for the inside of the card had a Basic White panel. I stamped two different solid flowers from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink which I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the detailed images over the top using Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped two of the two leaf images from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set onto Basic White card using Soft Sea Foam ink. The flowers and leaves were all cut out using the co-ordinating Two-Tone Flora Dies before being layered onto the lower left hand corner of the Basic White card. To finish off the card, I attached a panel of the Fancy Flora card onto Night of Navy card. This panel is attached to the very back of the card.
I really love playing with this fun fold. Thanks Lyn for the instructions.
Bye for now,
Kris
