I found a fun card on Pinterest made using some other company's stuff. I liked the layout and the way the edging was on the original card, so I thought I would try to make one using Stampin' Up! stuff. You can see the original card here so you can compare. Warning, theirs is SO much prettier!!!
To make my card I used a folded half-sheet of Peekaboo Peach card stock. I used the "Trellis" Embossing folder to make the texture on the Whisper White piece. I cut those pieces 1-7/8" x 4" and 1-5/8 x 4". Now before you cut yours, you may want to find the wording first and see what fits in the opening. I didn't do that so I was on the lookout for something to fit in that space. I found the "Happy Birthday from the "Beautiful Bouquet" and I used Black Memento ink to stamp it. I used that ink because it was sitting on my worktable and I was too lazy to get up and get the Basic Black ink. It's still black ink, so I wouldn't think it would matter. P.S. it doesn't matter!!! LOL
I punched the ribbon border and taped it to the back of the textured card stock. I taped those piece in place on the card base.
I stamped two flowers using Pumpkin Pie ink on Pumpkin Pie card stock. I punched the two flowers out and taped them together. I set it in place on the card front using a Dimensional. I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center of the flower. It was next that I stamped my words. I had to make sure the flower fit with the front and yet left enough space for words. And once I did that, the card was complete. It was pretty cool, though I don't like the texture with the ribbon edging. But what's done is done!
