Today is Sunday. Too busy trying to figure out my Stampin' Up! Blog...and guess what, I still can't figure it out! It is so frustrating!
I am trying to upload a video onto this site, but I can't seem to figure this out either! Boy, do I ever need help!
Ah ha! My son came in to help me upload this video! Hallelujah! Gotter done, so to speak!
Okay, here are the directions to make this card. It looks harder than it really is. The only stamping I did was on front label, and the cupcakes that embellish the card and envelop. Hope you try this. Let me know what you think!
Z- Fold Card
Cardstock Base:
11 x 4 ¼” (Card front is horizontal in
nature, but could be used vertically, which would change the look of the card.)
I used Rich Razzleberry (#115316)
Score
at 2 ¾” and 5 ½”
Strip: (can be
any width) but I used 1 ½” x 11”
Score
at 5 ½” and 2 ¾”
DSP (Designer Series
Paper) ~ I used Springtime Foils (
#147193)
2
pieces cut at 2 ½” x 4”;
1 piece cut at 5” x 3 ¾”
2 pieces cut at 1 ¼”” x 2 ½”
Whisper White
Cardstock (#100730) for the back
of the card for my message 5 ¼” x 4”
Dies: Large
Numbers (#140622)
Happy
Birthday (#143700) cut this apart
Birthday
Edgelits( #148548) ~ birthday
presents, cut apart
(I cut out 2
sets, 1 was in Rich Razzleberry, the other in Powder Pink (#144244)
3 Cupcakes outline
Party
Pop-Up Thilits ( #140620) ~ I used
this on the back of the card for more interest
Stitched
Labels Framelits Dies (#146828) for
the sentiment
Stamp Sets:
Stitched All Around (#146632) “Enjoy
your special day”
Birthday
Cheer (148604) ~ I stamped 3
cupcakes and colored them in with Stampin’Blends
Folding the card: Base should be folded Mountain, then
Valley (opposite ways)
Strip should be folded Valley, then Mountain (just the
opposite of the base)
Adhere the DSP pieces to the card base and the strip,
leaving a 1/8”
border around the edges.
*** (Make sure that you decorate the right side of the strip
before gluing the DSP to the strip! See warning below!)
Attach the strip to the Base Card. Make sure that the
long part of the strip is attached to the short part of the card, and that the
short part of the strip is attached to the longer side of the base card
***Warning: make sure that the card will fold flat (if it
does not, flip the strip around!)
I placed the Happy on the front side of the card, and
made sure that only the word “day” showed when the card lay flat. So, the
recipient will only see “Happy day” when they receive the card. Then, when they
open the card, they will see the number on the strip (hidden) and the complete
word “birthday” as their surprise!
I also embellished the card with the 3 cupcakes. You can
decide to use whatever else tickles your fancy!
