Delightful Wishes, Simply Said, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick and easy birthday card to share with you. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock, once cut on the short side it measures 4-1/4" x 11".  The fold is on the top and it opens on the bottom.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock using the "Textured Tile" embossing folder to texture it. I glued it to the front of the card base.

Next I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Floral Delight" 12" x 12" package, it measures 2" x 4". I glued that to the front of the card. Originally I thought I was gluing it to the bottom of the card but I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the card and it ended up being glued to the top.

I cut another piece of the DSP from the same package, it measures 1/4" x 4". I glued that on top of the other piece of DSP. 

The floral image is from the "Delightful Wishes" bundle. I stamped the stem first using Pecan Pie ink. The flowers were stamped using Lemon Lolly ink and the details on the flowers were stamped using Daffodil Delight ink. Old Olive was used for the leaves. I cut them out using the "Countryside Corners" die set. I took my Old Olive marker and colored around the edges using the belly of the marker. You can also set the piece down and trace it on a piece of scrap paper. I set the piece in place on top of the card about 5/8" from the top and right side. 

The words were stamped next using the "Simply Said" set and Old Olive ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the third largest circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used tape on the right side where it lays on the "Countryside Corners" piece and Dimensionals on the sides that touch the "Distressed Tile" part. 

I stamped the flower from the same "Delightful Wishes" bundle. I used Lemon Lolly for the solid part. I stamped it twice and I used Daffodil Delight for the details, I stamped that twice too. It's too bad I didn't think of that on the other flowers, the details would have been much better. I cut the flower out using the matching die. I stamped the leaf image using Old Olive ink and cut it out as well. I added a Dimensional behind the flower and stuck the leaf to it and then set it in place on the circle. And the card was done. 

This was a fun card to make even if the DSP was at the top instead of the bottom.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
