Happy Birthday

I have made wonderful use of this sheet offered for purchase, by Elisha Williams, as the 4 beautiful birthday greetings complement one another so well, and stay within the one theme.

I have used all 4 images in this one card and have uploaded a tutorial for the basic card I have designed which will be able to be used for many different purchases.

I have called this design A Hidden Ribbon, Small Front, Fold Back Card and featured this design by Elisha in the tutorial.

I have made a card which closes at 14cm square, which has a small fold back front and then opens up to stand exposing the extra elements attached.

I prepared a white 200gsm crafty Bob matte photo paper 14m card and attached the 60cm length of buttercup yellow 1cm wide ribbon through the 1cm slit made into the centre fold of the card 7.5cm down from the top.

I threaded the ribbon through from the inside and attached the ribbon horizontally onto the inside of the back of the card.

This was then hidden with the buttercup yellow backing sheet. I attached the 14x20cm buttercup yellow backing sheet to the card front using D.S. tape.

I used the same buttercup yellow cut at 14cm x28cm buttercup yellow to attach to the insert. I have attached an extra 200gsm white, 13.75x5.75 backing sheet to the back of the small fold back section for added strength.

I have printed the first image, from the set twice at 13cm square and then all 4 images at 4cm square.

The first main image is attached using D.S. tape to the card front. I have mounted each of the smaller images onto 200gsm white card and attached these to backing sheets before attaching them onto the small fold back panel using padded D.S. tape.

I have added silver gold glitter peel off strips.

The second main image I have used as a decoupage for the card front by trimming away the outer background and retaining the complete floral image including the bird.

I have attached this as decoupage using padded D.S. tape. I have printed a verse I have chosen from the free verse section. The card closes completely to fit easily into a 5 ½” square envelope and ties using the attached ribbon into a decorative bow.
