Today’s Guest blog post comes from Cathy Hansen and illustrates using One card Layout Three ways.

Happiness Abounds Birthday Card

These three cards use the same stamps, dies, Designer Series paper pack and embossing folder. The colours are just switched up for each card and different ribbon added.

Assembly

  • Fold standard card stock away from score line to create card base.
  •  Emboss one piece of 5-1/4” x 4”/ 14.4cm x 10cm layer and adhere to card front.
  • Adhere 5-1/4” x 1” / 14.4cm x 2cm DSP vertically over card stock as shown.
  • Adhere 4” x 1/2”/ 10cm x 1cm strip of card stock horizontally as shown.
  • Cut “weeds” die shape and use liquid glue to adhere over DSP and card stock as shown.
  • Stamp “Wishing you . . .” sentiment on white circle and adhere to scalloped circle. Use foam tape or Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere to card front as shown.
  • Make bow and attach to circle with a glue dot.
  • For the Insert: Adhere card stock to inside of card.
  • Use lighter colour ink to stamp flowers on white card stock ; use darker colour ink to stamp “happy birthday.” Adhere over card stock.

*** NOTE: For the Fresh Freesia card an extra layer was added to the front, so measurements for the embossed layer and DSP need to be adjusted accordingly.

The layout for this card was based on a card posted by Carol Payne (carolpaynestamps.com).
