Today’s card is the card I made for my mom’s birthday this year. She celebrated her 91st birthday a few days ago!! I’m so lucky to still have my mom.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Next, I cut another piece of Melon Mambo cardstock, scored it in two places and then folded on the score lines. I added Multipurpose Glue to the back and adhered it to the base of the card.
I cut two pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (one is a little bit bigger than the other) and adhered them to each flap. This paper, hands down, is my favorite in the Annual Catalog.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and the stamp set, Framed Florets, and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut progressively larger scalloped circles out of Melon Mambo and Night of Navy cardstock and adhered all the pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, on just half of the circle and adhered it to the top flap. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
There’s nothing difficult about this card and I hope you’ll give it a try!
