Elegant Flowers Birthday Card


 I saw a beautiful card on Pinterest and wanted to recreate it. There weren't many details on how to make it, but I figured it out! I used the Dainty Flowers stamp set, and then cut the silver and white with the Basic Borders die. I used four colors: Poppy Parade, Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, and Old Olive. It was challenging to get the two triangle pieces at the same center point and angle. I tried to compensate by measuring to the exact middle of the long edge and then making sure the center of the V was at that point. I just eyeballed the angle. Even though they aren't perfect, they still look great!

Crayon Birthday Fun Fold

Image
 I wanted to use up some random envelopes with this card. So I measured the envelope, subtracted a quarter inch from each side, and that is the size of the face of the card.  This fun fold opens only in the middle, so I made the middle one half the size of the card face and each strip of patterned paper one quarter of the card face (minus one fourth inch to give the border). The patterned paper is just random paper from my stash.  I cut white cardstock for the inside middle and the outside middle.  The front piece of white I embossed with SU birthday greetings embossing folder.  Then I stamped the crayon from School Days from CTMH and cut them out. I adhered them with dimensionals.  The red gems are from the dollar store.  Easy but fun!
