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 Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Florals in Bloom" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base.
Next I cut a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Darling Duckling card stock and set it aside.
The strips of DSP are from the same package and were cut at 1" x 2-1/2". And the bottom piece is a piece of Timid Tiger card stock and was cut at 2" x 3-1/4". I textured it using the flowered folder from the "Glass Garden" embossing folder set.
What I did was I had taped the strips on first but it's better to glue the bottom piece on first. Once the bottom was glued on then I taped the strips in place. The distance between the strips and the Timid Tiger piece was pretty narrow but I was able to hide it with the word piece and the ribbon.
The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.
I took some white ribbon (retired), tied a bow and glued it to the side of the word piece.
A few crystal rhinestones were added to the front and the card was done.
This was a quick and easy card to make. I'm still not sure if I like the largest layer, I think it's a bit too busy.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
