This card started out being completely different that where it ended up, I had seen a reverse step card and was trying to make it but didn’t like the way it laid so I took it back apart and used everything but the card base. So now we have what I am calling this card the Inked Botanicals Sectional Card. This paper is just so beautiful, I actually didn’t even know I had it but found it in a stack I hadn’t touched in a while so had to use it.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Watermelon Wonder card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Verry Vanilla card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Inked Botanicals designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- With you In Mind stamp set
- Thoughtful Expressions stamp set
- Watermelon Wonder ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Very Vanilla twine (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Scissors
- Adhesive of choice
Cut a card base from the Watermelon Wonder card stock to 4 ¼” x 11”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your Very Vanilla card stock cut an inside piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another piece to 1” x 4” and another to 1 ½” x 3 ¼”. Take you Inked Botanicals paper and find the dainty floral multicolor piece and the multicolor flowers with stems. With the dainty floral piece cut a two piece to 1 ¾” x 4”. With the flowers with stems piece cut a piece to 2 5/8” x 4”.
With your With You In Mind stamp set and your Watermelon Wonder ink stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting onto the 1 ½” x 3 ¼” Very Vanilla piece. From the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set use the “enjoy your day” greeting and stamp onto the 1” x 4” piece lightly to the right. Take a spare piece of the large floral paper and hand cut out two of the flowers. Adhere one to the left side of the “enjoy your day” greeting.
Now take your card base and adhere the “enjoy your day piece to the bottom. Then adhere the dainty floral paper to the top of the card, and then the “Happy Birthday” piece to the center of the dainty floral paper. Now take your larger floral paper and adhere in the middle of the others. Take your vanilla twine and wrap around your card twice and tie into a bow. Align this toward the top of your large floral paper.
For the inside, adhere your Very Vanilla piece to the inside of your card. Then adhere the dainty floral piece toward the bottom, leaving a little bit of the Very Vanilla at the bottom. Take the other flower you cut out and adhere that to the left with most of the stem on the dainty floral paper but the flower on your Very Vanilla.
That is all there is to this Inked Botanicals sectional birthday card.
