I like the style of the book binding fold cards and the Textured Chic designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is one of my favorite packs of paper. The Painted Posies embossing folder is really pretty as well, so I used some of the white core card stock and then sanded it down a bit so that the embossed outline is white on the petal pink paper and then just colored in the flowers.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Petal Pink white core card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Textured Chic designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
- Magnolia Mood stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
- Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends – Dark (Stampin’ Up)
- Gold Ribbon – Shimmer Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
- Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments (Stampin’ Up)
- Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With a piece of Petal Pink card stock, cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”. From the Petal Pink white core card stock cut two pieces to 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”. From the Texture Chic designer series paper pack, find the piece that is pink and orange with the diagonal design, cut two pieces to 4” x 4” and a third to 1” x 4”.
Take one of your 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Petal Pink white core pieces and emboss with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. With your Petal Pink Dark Stampin’ Blends market color in the flowers. Use a sanding block (nail sanding blocks work well) and sand over the top to show the white core of the embossed design. Add three of the brass butterflies around the embossed design.
Use adhesive, I would probably recommend glue, to adhere the 1 ¼” binding to the back of the card. Cut two pieces of ribbon and cross in the middle and adhere to each end of the 1” x 4” designer series paper piece. Adhere that to the front of the book binding part of the card. Adhere the embossed piece to one of the 4” x 4” designer series paper pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card.
Use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and stamp on the other piece of Petal Pink white core card stock. Adhere that to the other piece of designer series paper and adhere that to the inside of your card.
That gives you this pretty book binding birthday card.
