Birthday Card

Isn't it great that we have holidays now and again? Finally I find the time to sit and create, and the results are cards for challenges in a row...

And here is the tutorial on making this card:

1.  You start by choosing the papers, and cutting them to size.

In this photo - from left to right:

14 X 10.5 cm (5.5" X 4.2") (paper A)

12 X 6 cm (4.7" X 2.4")  (paper B)

8 X 6 cm (3.1" X 2.4")  (paper C)

2. Ink the edges of the two smaller papers (B, C)

3.  Stamp your image on a white or cream cardstock, cut around it in an oval shape, and ink the edges.

Make sure it is smaller in width than 6 cm (2.4") and no more than 8 cm (3.1") long.

(smaller in width than paper B, and no more than 2/3 B's length)

4.  stamp youe sentiment on the same cardstock, cut around it to a rectangle shape and punch-circle the corners. Ink the edges.

5.  Take another coordinating paper, punch it's border and cut it to be 1.5 cm wide (0.6")

6. Now we have all our components, it's time to put it all together.

Take paper C and glue it onto paper A, in the center.

7.  Take paper B and glue it on top paper C, again - centered.

8.  Add your stamed image. Position it like in the photo.

9.  Add the punched border. Make sure to position it below the stamped image, but not too low. We want to glue the sentiment a little over it...

10. Now add the sentiment, a little over the punched border, and a little over the stamped image:

11. Now it's time to finish the card: Trim the excess of the punched border at the sides of the card, and add your blings.

Glue the whole thing onto a folded card, and you're done.

If you decide to create your own version, please share it with ne in the comments section. I'd love to see what you did.

Enjoy,
