I was thinking about my Dream Maker’s team member who was born on the 4th of July, so this birthday card will be mailed to her soon.

Poppy Celebration
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock that was cut with the largest Ornate Layers Die. Prior to gluing the layer to the card base, I gave it texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
Next, I used another Ornate Layers Die to cut the gold & white stripe, Expressions In Ink Designer Paper. I know some of you have been waiting for this collection to come back in stock, and it’s due the end of June.
For the flower, I used an all-time favorite die set, Poppy Moments. I love this flower, because it’s so much fun to put together like a jigsaw puzzle.
I first used the die to cut the flower from Thick Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the same die to cut from Expressions In Ink Designer Paper. After gluing the white frame of the flower on the card front, I filled in the six petals from the second cut. Then, using a second poppy die, I cut the center from Gold Foil, and glued it in place.
Before gluing the flower, I used a third poppy die to cut the leaves from Expressions In Ink Designer Paper, and glued them in Place.
The sentiment, “Let’s celebrate you,” is from the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set, stamped in Black Stazon Ink. This set is great for small sentiments, and has a perfect, little, peach label die for cutting.
Now you can see how the gold on the card really shines.
You can see all of my supplies in the Product List below.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
