WAVES OF INSPIRATION BIRTHDAY CARD

First of all, I want to apologize that most of what I used on this card is retired but I was looking for a way to use up some of my retired cardstock, designer and specialty papers. I loved making this card and thankful to Meg Loven for the idea.

WAVES OF INSPIRATION BIRTHDAY CARD

Cased from Meg Loven

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Base is 4 ¼” x 11” for card base and 1” x 11” for Z fold piece. Fold both the strip and the base the same (mountain then valley) and burnish.
Run your glimmer paper and your blue foil paper through the die cut machine each with one of the wave dies. Using your Fine tip glue pen adhere one over the other. Set aside.
Adhere the 2 DSP pieces (2 5/8” x 4”) making sure the design is continuous. One to the far right of the card and the other to ihefront left fold.
Adhere the small white cardstock (2 5/8” x 4”) flush up to the piece of the DSP on the inside of the card.
Flip the “Z” strip to adhere it to the lower portion of your card. the “Z” will be on the right side of the card instead of the left.
On a small piece of white cardstock stamp the pelican and the happy Birthday sentiment and die cut. (If you would like to add a panel on the back of your card for additional writing area. Stamp the pelican on the white cassock (4” x 5 1/4”) and adhere this piece to the back of your card.
Die cut a couple of clouds in silver foil (or white if you prefer) Adhere to top right hand corner of inside of your card.
Adhere the pelican with mini dimensionals so it is standing on the right of the card just above the “Z” strip.
Run a ribbon or skinny strip of the DSP through the sentiment banner. Set aside for a minute.
Adhere your wave on the strip on the front of your card. I would use the fine tip glue pen here. (Be careful not to put glue on the part of the wave crest that overlaps the inside.)
While the wave is setting, adhere the additional piece of DSP to the flap of your envelope and trim to fit.
Add mini Stampin Dimensionals to the back of your sentiment and adhere on the wave.

All About Autumn With a Grateful Heart

My Stampin' Up! team gets together monthly and we create a "Mystery Card". Last month, this was the card I created. I thought it would a make a good Thanksgiving card. I created a second one so you can see the different colors of cardstock I used to coordinate with the pieces of Designer Series Paper. The All About Autumn DSP has some beautiful designs. I had a hard time deciding which I liked best.

ALL ABOUT AUTUMN

WITH A GRATEFUL HEART

HOW TO MAKE & ASSEMBLE:

Fold card base (8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored at 41/4”)
Adhere coordinating color cardstock (5 3/8” x 4 1/8”) to crd front.
Emboss the piece of cardstock (5 1/4” 4”) that is the same color as the base in the embossing folder of choice and adhere to card front.
Adhere the larger (5 1/8” x 2 7/8”) piece of DSP to the 3rd color of cardstock (5 1/4” x 3”). Adhere this to the left side of the card front..
Adhere the smaller piece (2 5/8” x 2 1/8”) to the 2nd door of cardstock (2 3/4” x 2 1/4”). Adhere this overlapping the last piece but towards the upper right hand corner of the card front.
Adhere the strip of DSP” (4” x 1”) across the card front just below the piece you just adhered in step 5.
Die cut out (or punch) a 2 3/4” circle out of the 3rd color of cardstock.
Die cut out a scalloped circle in the base color to mat the circle.. step sentiment on the lower portion.
Stamp a leaf in the ink color of your choice then die cut it our. Adhere to the matted circle. Adhere with dimensionals to the card front. Die cut out some branches in coordinating colors and tuck in behind circle.
For the inside, adhere the second piece of cardstock on the inside.
