I working on a card class with some of my workmates and one of them loves blue so I had to make a card with her colors and the Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is perfect and so pretty. Then the Fitting Florets stamps and dies add the perfect greetings and accents.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers light and dark (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With a piece of Night of Navy card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and old in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From a piece of Balmy Blue cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Take some white card stock and cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Now from the Fitting Florets designer series paper pack find the Night of Navy piece with the Balmy Blue and Evergreen flowers, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere the Balmy Blue piece to the front of your card base and then the floral piece to the front of the Balmy Blue piece.
From a spare piece of white card stock use the oval with the dashed boarder die and cut out. Also with some scrap white card stock stamp two of the large single flowers and two of the small single flowers in Night of Navy ink. Also stamp one of the larger flowers in the lower corner of the inside white piece for the inside of your card. Use the Balmy Blue light to color in the small flower and the main portion of the large flower and then the dark balmy blue to color the tips and center of the large flower. Use the dies to cut out he four single flowers, not the one on the inside piece. Use the sprig leaf die to cut out a white and a Night of Navy one.
Take the inside of the oval you cut and with Night of Navy ink stamp the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting in the upper center. Stamp the “for a special person on a special day” greeting on the upper center of the white piece for the inside of your card. Adhere the piece to the inside back of your card base.
Now let’s finish the front of the card, Adhere the oval frame to the center of your card and then adhere the greeting center into the center of the oval frame. Adhere the white sprig off center to the navy spring and then adhere to the left edge of your oval frame. The arrange the two large flowers and one of the smaller at the bottom of your oval and the fourth small flower to the top of your oval.
What a pretty birthday card for anyone special to you that you want to let them know they are.
