So Many Candles

We are all entering the time in our lives that a birthday card needs a humorous sentiment and Stampin' Up! created a stamp set to meet that need, "Not 29 Anymore". The sentiments are the best - Free Cake.... I mean....;Here's to another year of questionable decisions; let's get this party started...so I can be home by 9:00, the others in the set are just as funny. Here is the card we made, it is a big one, it measures 5 1/4 x 10.


The card folded up to fit in a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelope


The little candles from Sweet Jar add the perfect image to the card.

The card is easy to put together. Pick a favorite color and get ready to send a smile to someone.

Sending summer sunshine to you

Cutting 

Two-Toned Petunia Pop Cardstock: 2 3/8 x 5 1/4

Petunia Pop: 10 x 5 3/8 (score at 2 1/2 & 5)

Basic White: 10 x 3 1/2 (score at 2 1/2 & 5)

Assembly

Cut and score Petunia Pop card base

Use and embossing folder on the Two-Tones pieces. I used a retired embossing folder.  Adhere these pieces to the ends of the card base, leaving a small margin.

Stamp So.Many.Candles on the 5-inch side of the Basic White card stock using Memento Black ink. When stamping Happy Birthday make sure the 2 1/2-inch score line goes between Happy and Birthday.

Stamp the group of three candles and the single candle across the bottom of the Basic White with Petunia Pop ink. Stamp the flames using Darling Duckling ink. I stamped all the group of three candles first, cleaned the stamp and inked up a single flame to go on top of the single candles. 

Attach the Basis White card stock to the card base.

A Horizontal Front Flap card

Image
  What a cute idea for a card opening and I love the dual use of the Blooming Phrases stamp set. First let's do the folding of the card. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 8 x 6 3/4 being mindful of any pattern you have to consider, using a landscape orientation. Score on the left side and top at 2 3/4. Fold and gently burnish the left score line and make a tic mark as indicated. Now fold and burnish the top score line the same way, making the tic mark as indicated. To create the diagonal score, match the tic marks up on your paper trimmer and make the score, fold and burnish To create the fold, push the diagonal fold in and create the square on the top of the Designer Series Paper. Adhere this to the Daffodil Delight Card base. Now for the fun part, the stamping. On the Basic White square, stamp the greeting in Old Olive ink. To create the flower stems, use the "tail end" of the greeting stamp  Create seven stems of different lengths with Old Olive ink. Stamp the flowe...

Criss Cross and a Fun Fold

Image
This fun fold has a special element on the card front. I selected the sheet of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper to use on this card because the Granny Apple Green/Berry Brust color combo made me happy.  Score and burnish the Berry Burst cardstock.  On the Basic White cardstock stamp stem from Pretty Florals using Granny Apple Green ink. Next ink up the solid blossom stamp in Berry Burst and stamp off before stamping over the stem. Ink the lined blossom stamp in Berry Burst and stamp full strength over the solid image. Insert this piece inside the card base.  Adhere the larger piece of Designer Series Paper on the inside of the right flap. Adhere the two other pieces on the front and inside of the left flap.  Fold three pieces of the Designer Series Paper strips as shown and fold the other two in the opposite direction. Take one of the first strips and adhere it to the front flap as shown, the folded edge a little below the top of the card, and the left tip touc...
