Paper Crafting Blog Hop September 2021 - Happy Birthday!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for September 2021 featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting projects that represent - a Happy Birthday!

~*~*~*~*~
So I wanted to make something bright and cheery - because that is what birthday's should be. I had a vision in my head - that did not translate exactly to my card - but I still like it.

I made a JoyFold card (one of my very favorite folds). The top part with the bow opens from left to right -

And then the flap at the left opens right to left revealing the inside of the card. I did not stamp an inside sentiment, as I like to write in this entire area - but there is room if you wanted to.
Tips to Create this card:
Large base of Basic White is 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 3". Small base that open left to right is 3" x 8" scored on the long side at 4".
Black layers are 2 3/4" x 4"; 4" x 5 1/4"; 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" and 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" - refer to pictures for placement.
Heart DSP is 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" and 3 3/4" x 5" - watch pattern to try and line up.
Green DSP is 2 5/8" x 3 5/8".
Sentiment layer is 2" x 3".
Black & White Gingham ribbon colored with a Real Red blend - wrapped around green layer - before adhering. Sentiment is adhered to black then popped up on dimesionals. Bow of the ribbon attached with a glue dot to the left on the small base as shown.

It is funny how the card in your head doesn’t always materialise to the real thing. Thins one turned out great!

Julia said...

I agree birthday cards should be bright and cheery. I think your card hits the mark, plus it's a fun fold. Great project! Thanks for sharing!
