I went old school with this one, this is the first stamp set I ever bought from Stampin’ Up almost 20 years ago. I decided to get it out and make a card today. Unfortunately, it is so old that it doesn’t have a label anymore so I don’t know the name of the set, but it is beautiful just the same.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Strawberry Slush card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Melon Mambo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Tulip stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up set but I don’t know the name)
- Happy Birthday and Inside birthday greeting stamps (Retired Stampin’ Up but also don’t know from what set)
- Strawberry Slush and Pretty and Pink Gems (Stampin’ Up)
- Strawberry Slush ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder or an old-style corrugator
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With your Strawberry Slush card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From your Melon Mambo or another piece of Strawberry Slush, cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 4 ½”. From your white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 6”, one to 3 ½” x 4 ¼” and a third piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Take the 4” x 6” piece and corrugate with either an embossing folder and a corrugator and then cut to 4” x 5 ¼”.
Gather your 3 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of white card stock, your tulip stamp set and your Strawberry Slush and Old Olive inks. Start with the outside outline tulip stamp and stamp that in Strawberry Slush three times, arranging at different levels to the left side of the card stock. Then with the fuller tulip stamp, stamp off (stamp once on scrap paper) and then stamp to the inside of the first stamp to form your tulips. Then with your Old Olive ink stamp three stems and leaves as you like. Then stamp your “happy birthday” greeting to the lower right.
Adhere your white corrugated piece to the front of your card base. Then center the Melon Mambo (or Strawberry Slush) piece and then your stamped piece on top of the Melon Mambo. Then take your Strawberry Slush larger size embellishments and adhere three in a row in the upper right corner of your stamped piece.
For your inside piece, stamp another tulip in the lower right corner and your birthday greeting of choice in the upper center. Adhere to the inside of your card.
There is my old school tulip birthday card.
