Painted Illusions Split Grame Happy Birthday Card

This card design I have been looking at for a while and finally made, I am calling it a split frame card.  This one is made with the Painted Illusions designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Flirty Flamingo card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Transparency clear sheet
  • Painted Illusions designer series paper (February 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
  • Fabulous Saying stamp set (January 2025 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
  • Forever Florals (2025 Virtual Retreat Stampin’ Up)
  • Flirty Flamingo ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 5 5/8” and score at 1 3/8”.  Then cut a piece to 1 3/8” x 5 ½”, one to 1 1/8” x 3” and three to 1 3/8” x 1 3/8”.  From a transparency or clear sheet cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From the Painted Illusions designer series paper find the pink floral paper and then the swirl paper that has the blue floral back.  From the swirl paper cut two pieces to 1 ¼” x 5 3/8” with a section of the pink included.  From the pink floral piece cut a piece to 1 ¼” x 5 ½” and six pieces to 1 ¼” x 1 ¼”. 

With the white card base, fold at the score mark.  Take the transparency piece and adhere to the front of the 1 3/8” section, making sure you keep the adhesive away from the edge so it won’t show outside the paper boundaries, about 1/8” all the way around.  Now adhere the white piece measuring 1 3/8” x 5 ½” and adhere that to the right side to the back of the transparency. 

Take the white squares and three of the floral squares and adhere each floral square to the white squares.  Adhere one to the top portion of the clear center strip, one to the bottom and then the third to the middle. 

For the inside of the card adhere the other three floral squares to the triangles on the left side to cover the adhesive from the front.  Adhere the floral strip to the left side of the card back.  In Flirty Flamingo ink stamp the “happy birthday” greeting from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set to the white strip.  Adhere to the center of the floral strip.  Cut two of the small flower bunches from the Forever Florals dies and adhere one bunch to each end of your happy birthday greeting making sure they are on the white so the centers of the flowers are white. 

The inside is as cute and the outside and this card design could be used for any occasion card.
