The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock. I also cut a piece of copier paper just a hair smaller than the 4" x 5-1/4". I like to have something to tape pieces onto.
Both pieces of card stock were cut on the diagonal. I cut the Basic White piece from top left to bottom right and the Daffodil Delight piece was cut from top left to bottom right. I taped both of them to the piece of copier paper.
Then I cut a strip of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Floral Delight" 12" x 12" package. It measured 1-1/8" x 6-3/4". I taped it across the center of the card where the two pieces of card stock meet. You don't have to be exactly centered, it's almost better if you're not. Once taped in place I took a scissors and trimmed the corners.
I fussy cut a flower from the same package of DSP. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the right side of the card.
The words are from the "Labeled with Love" bundle and were cut using the die in that bundle. I stamped them using Mossy Meadow ink. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the lower part of the card.
I opted not to add any embellishments as I didn't want to pay the extra postage to mail it. $.78 per card is bad enough!
This was a fun and quick card to make. I like this layout because you can use strips of DSP and make a ton of cards from one sheet.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
