Well, hello there! It's been a while hasn't it? I had a sick kiddo for almost a week...
Poor baby :-( |
Cute, right? It's pretty easy too.
I printed a flower template from Split Coast Stampers a loooooong time ago. Like before blogging, before having my son, before buying a house...you get it...it's been a while. Luckily, the creator put her blog address on the template! I searched her blog and found it, but while I was searching I discovered a really great blog! If you like stamping/card making, you should really check out Mel Stampz.
On to the card!
- Print the template from Mel Stampz.
- Cut out the template that is at 78%.
- Cut a piece of paper measuring 4.25x4.25 inches.
- Place your template on top of that piece and cut out the flower.
- Add a little color to the edge with a darker color ink and sponge or sponge dauber.
- Rough up the edges a little. You can view a video of how to rough up edges here (it is in English and French). I used the tool she has in the video, but I couldn't find it on Stampin' Up!'s website.
- Punch two circles (one larger than the other--I used 1 1/2 inch and 1 1/4 inch)
- Stamp "happy birthday" on one.
- Sponge the same ink as above on the edge of the other.
- Glue them together and then glue them to the center of the flower.
- Glue the flower to a piece of complementary paper that is slightly larger than your flower. I only glued mine in the center so the petals would be loose from the complementary paper.
- Cut the larger piece around the flower to create a thin border.
- Glue the complementary piece completely to a piece of white card stock cut that is folded/scored to measure 4.25x4.25 inches.
- Cut the white card stock to the flower shape, Be sure to leave part of the folded edge intact so you don't lose the fold.
