Birthday Card Idea - Happy Stripes
The card is divided into three sections. The top and the bottom sections are quite similar except that I varied the papers used. For the mid-section, there's where the birthday greetings will be put up. On those days when you're running low on ideas, pull out this design and start playing mix-matching with your papers and ribbon instead of fretting over the placement! Enjoy! Card Making Steps 1. Create a cardblank with tan cardstock. 2. Cut out a block of blue patterned paper and attach it to the top of the cardblank. Cut out a block of red patterned paper and attach it to the bottom of the cardstock. 3. Cut out 2 strips of striped patterned paper. Trim one of the edges of each strip with a scallop-edged scissors. Adhere one strip to the top of the card and the other strip to the bottom of the card as shown. 4. Stamp birthday greetings to a strip of orange cardstock with brown ink. Attach it on top of a strip of dark green cardstock with foam pads for dimension. Attach the dark green strip to a bigger strip of green cardstock with foam pads. Attach the completed greeting tag to the mid-section of the cardblank as shown. 5. Wrap a piece of organza ribbon around the card and tie a ribbon bow in front as shown.
