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 two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock. One I taped to the inside and the other I taped on the front.
Using the "Forever Plaid" embossing folder, I textured a 1-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. I glued it to the front of the card about 1/2" from the fold.
I didn't have the "Party Banners" dies (I thought I bought them) so I ended up using the largest die from the "Stylish Shapes" set and a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Cute as a Bug" 12" x 12" package. I taped the piece in place on the front of the card, centering it from side to side as much as I could by eyeing it. It's about 1-1/8" from the fold and right edge and about 1" from the top edge.
The butterfly is from the same package of DSP. I used the fourth largest circle die in the "Stylish Shapes" set to cut it out. I used the third largest die to cut a piece of Mossy Meadow for the layer. I taped the butterfly to that layer. Dimensionals were added to the back and set in place on the front of the card. It's about 5/8" from the fold and 1-1/4" from the top edge.
The "Happy Birthday" is from the "Banner Sayings" bundle. I stamped the words using Mossy Meadow ink and used one of the shapes from the "Banner Sayings" to stamp them on. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. It's about 2" from the bottom edge and the upper tip of the piece is about 1/4" from the right edge.
I took some retired enamel dots and added them to the upper part of the DSP piece.
This was fun and easy to make. I can see myself using this layout again in the future.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
