I love this Everyday Happiness paper from Stampin’ Up but I have a hard time designing some cards with it, but I thought this one turned out cute. It was influenced by the Happy Day banner dies that I got in the 2025 Spellbinders Advent.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- White card stock
- Everyday Happiness designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Simply Sketched stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Label layered dies – not sure from what set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Banners Spellbinder S1-168 W9 (2025 Advent Calendar Spellbinder)
- Lost Lagoon ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (Stampin’ Up)
- Opaque Faceted Gems (Retired Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With a piece of white card stock cut a card base to 5 1/2” x 11” an then angle the top from the 5 ½” to 3 3/8”. Then score at 4 ¼” and 7 5/8” starting from the high end as you want the high back panel to be full size and the other two panels will be skinnier. Folding from the higher back panel with the high side on the right, fold the middle panel up and the front panel back to form a z-fold.
Get your Everyday Happiness designer series paper pack and find the floral paper, the gold with the stars, the blue to gold variegated and the blue checked papers. Use the blue checked paper for the back panel, cutting to 4” x 5 ¼” and angling to the left to 4 3/8”. Use the blue gradient paper for the inside middle panel, cutting to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the left to 3 ½”. For the front back panel use the gold star paper and cut to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the right to 3 ½”. Then for the front panel use the floral paper cut to 3 1/8” x 3 ½” and angle to 2 7/8”. Finally cut a panel from white card stock to 3 1/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to the right to 3 ½”.
Adhere each to their perspective panels and then adhere to white piece to the back panel onto the blue checked paper so it is hiding under the other panels when folded, same as the inside middle panel but going the opposite direction. Cut out two of the flowers from a scrap piece of the floral paper and two of the grey leaves and adhere those to the bottom left of the white inside panel. Use the “Happy Birthday Wishes” greeting stamp from the Simply Sketched stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and stamp to the upper portion of that inside white panel.
Take some of the gold star paper and your Happy Day Banner Dies and cut out the Happy Day banner and then from white card stock cut out the two solid banner dies. Adhere the white banners to the back of the Happy Day banners. Cut your Happy Day banner into to and adhere across your inside middle panel with happy going across the top and day coming from the left meeting up with the bottom of the “a” banner.
For the front panel stamp the “let’s celebrate” greeting from Sentimental Park in Lost Lagoon ink onto white card stock and then use a layered label die (not sure what set these are from) and the bottom layer can be cut from the gold star paper. Adhere your labels together and adhere to the front of your card overhanging across some of your showing blue checked paper. Add a few embellishment gems for decoration and a bow tied from the Bakers Twine Essentials pack in the grey color to match the leaves in the floral paper.
What a great birthday card for anyone you know
