Today’s “HAPPY” birthday card combines several sets with a beautiful, soft, color palette.

“HAPPY” birthday

I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Next, a layer of Fresh Freesia Cardstock, cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Die, and topped with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die.

Isn’t it great how these layers fit together? If you wanted a wider scalloped border, you could use the third largest Stitched Rectangles Die.

Prior to gluing the layers together, I stamped the pretty branch from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green Ink on the top layer; once full strength, and twice, stamped off. Then, I stamped the butterfly from the same stamp set, in So Saffron Ink.

“Birthday” is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, stamped in Flirty Flamingo Ink, while masking  “happy,” because I had other plans for that part of the sentiment. I used the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting, and glued it in place.

Gingham “HAPPY” was created with Pansy Petals Designer Paper and Playful Alphabet Dies.

First, I attached a 1″strip of  Fresh Freesia, Pansy Petals Designer Paper to a 1″ strip of Foam Adhesive Sheet, placing the letters on top, and running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I turned the letters upside down, and ran it through a second time to make sure it was a good cut.

The Foam Adhesive Sheet is an easy way to give the small letters wonderful dimension, and it’s easy to peel the backing and stick them to the card front

Too add some Flirty Flamingo color, I stamped a doodad from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. Then, I punctuated it with an Artistry Blooms Self-Adhesive Sequin. I’m so glad I made this my June host code gift, because you will love them. See below how to receive your free sequins.

I was inspired by Fab Friday.
