I designed this card that I am calling a Flap card using the Paper Melody designer series paper to highlight this lovely dainty floral and stripe papers.  I used the Scallop Blooms stamps and label dies and the Boutique Blooms dies for my flowers, all from Stampin’ Up. 

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

• Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• White card stock
• Paper Melody designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
• Scalloped Blooms stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
• Boutique Blooms dies (Stampin’ Up)
• Petal Pink ink (Stampin’ Up)
• Varigated Ribbon (Stampin’ Up)
• Glossy Dot Assortment embellishments (retired Stampin’ Up)
• Paper trimmer
• Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
• Adhesive of choice

From white card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 7 ¼” at score at 3” and fold.  Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”.  From your Petal Pink card stock cut two pieces to 2 7/8” x 5 3/8” and one to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  In your Paper Melody designer series paper pack find the piece with the small flowers and the one with the diagonal stripes.  From the floral piece cut two pieces to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and then from the stripe paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

From a scrap piece of white card stock use the large label die with the scallops on the bottom and also the long label die with the scallops on the end and cut one of each.  Then use the small label die to cut one from a piece of Petal Pink card stock.  From the Boutique Blossoms dies use the daisy die to cut three out of Petal Pink and two out of white card stock.

Now let’s start to assemble.  First start by cutting a piece of the Variegated Ribbon about 20”-22” long.  Now take the long white label and score at 2” and fold in.  Then take the small Petal Pink label and the ribbon an adhere the ribbon between the two labels with the Petal Pink label on top at the edge of the fold, leaving about 8” of the ribbon on the front of the label.

Adhere the folded tab of your label to the back of your card base about 2 ¼” up from the bottom.  Now adhere the large piece of Petal Pink card stock to the back covering your tab and then the striped piece to that.  With your card still open adhere one of your Petal Pink pieces to the left side and one of the floral pieces. 

For the front panel adhere the last Petal Pink piece to the front panel and then the other floral piece.  Take your large label you cut and stamp the “happy birthday” greeting in Petal Pink ink in the center of the label and adhere to the lower part of your front panel.  Now take one of the Petal Pink flowers you cut and add a center with one of the bright pink embellishments from the Glossy Dots Assortments and adhere to the upper left corner making sure it is low enough not to interfere with your ribbon.  Add embellishments to the center of your other flowers and adhere one Petal Pink and one white one in the upper left corner and the last white one to the lower right corner of your back panel, making sure it doesn’t interfere with your card when closed. 

To finish your inside, take the last piece of white card stock and adhere to the left side of your back panel, making sure it doesn’t show when the card is closed.  With your Petal Pink ink and the “wishing you a day of relaxation happiness and love” greeting stamp from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set and stamp in the upper center of your white piece.  Now close your card and tie in a bow, then trim the ends to the appropriate length. 

A lovely muted floral card to say happy birthday to anyone.
