I love the simplicity of this book style card made with the Brushed with Beauty designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and using the Words of Beauty stamp set and dies. The papers do all the talking with this set.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Calypso Coral card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Very Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Brushed with Beauty designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Words of Beauty stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Calypso Coral ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Scoring board or scoring blade from trimmer
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
From the Calypso Coral card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”. From your Very Vanilla card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” and another to 1 1/8” x 4 1/8”.
Take your Brushed with Beauty designer series paper pack and find the smaller floral piece and the Calypso Coral painted looking piece. From the floral piece cut a piece to 4” x 4” and from the pointed Calypso Coral piece cut one to 1” x 4”.
With your card base, fold it in half and then adhere the short section to the back of the card. Take one of the Very Vanilla square pieces and adhere it to the larger part of the front of your card, and the smaller Very Vanilla piece and adhere it to the smaller section. Adhere the piece of painted Calypso Coral paper to the Very Vanilla small piece and the floral piece to the larger section.
Take a piece of scrap Very Vanilla paper and from the Words of Beauty stamp set find the “It’s your Birthday!” greeting and stamp in Calypso Coral ink. Use the larger long label die from the Words of Beauty dies to cut out your greeting and then adhere it to the middle of your larger front floral piece.
Use another birthday greeting for the inside of your card, I used “Someone like you should be celebrated every day”. Stamp it in Calypso coral in on the piece of Very Vanilla card stock and then adhere that to the inside of your card.
This is a nice card to give to anyone special for their birthday.
