Sunflower Fields, Banner Sayings, Harvest Hues, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you. I have the "Harvest Hues" ephemera pack sitting on my worktable and I thought I should use it again. I only used it to make a Halloween card a few weeks back. I buy these packs because they look so fun and then I end up playing with almost full packs sitting around. I opened Pinterest to see if I could find a card that would be fun to make. I have a friend's birthday coming up and I will be seeing her soon to give it to her. You can see the card I found on Pinterest by clicking here. I changed it just a little bit. Please read on to see how it was made. 

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 piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package. The larger piece on the left measures 5-1/4" x 2" and the piece next to it measures 1" x 5-1/4". I ran tape across the backside of the large piece and affixed the 1" strip to it so the piece measures 5-1/4" x 2-3/4". I taped it to the left side of the card. 

The stickers used here are the stack of books, the cluster of flowers, a couple of small single flowers and a few little leaves.  I removed the backing from the stickers and set them in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Banner Sayings" set and were stamped using Early Espresso ink on Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Three Banners" punch. I punched out another one using Early Espresso card stock. I cut that piece down the middle on the short side. I took the long strips and taped them to the back of the word piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

This was a fun card to make. I'm sure my friend will like it. But, I still have a LOT of stickers left in the package!  YIKES! LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
