I love these cards that add so much from just a piece of scrap Decorative Series Paper (DSP). This was a fun card to make, though I did have to fussy cut the cake. The girl was from an image on the "Birthday Memories" DSP and I was able to die cut her out.
So lets begin to assemble this card. Firs I had a folded half-sheet of Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I took my scrap of DSP that measured 1-3/4" x 5". You can use about any piece you have as long as it measures 5" long. And you can shorten that and adjust the placement to fit. I like to use up scrap pieces this way. The layer behind it is a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Pacific Point cardstock. I taped those two layers together and taped them in place on the card, lining up the top, bottom and left side.
Next I die cut the scalloped circle using Pacific Point and I die cut the stitched circle using Whisper White cardstock. I added Deminsionals to the back of it.
I die cut the girl and taped her to the circle. Then I fussy cut the cake and set it in place. I didn't tape it right away because I wanted to make sure that is where I wanted it to be.
I didn't find a greeting in the set that fit the space on the upper right corner so I got out the "Beautiful Bouquet" set and used the "Happy Birthday" from there. I stamped it using Pacific Point ink.
Once I was done with all of that, I set the circle in place and then taped the cake in place. I tied a bow on the circle. I didn't have any Pacific Point Baker's Twine so I used a piece of DMC floss instead.
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,

This card brings me memories of books I read as a child that depicted little girls like the one on the DSP. There is a sweetness to it and a reminder of gentler times.
