An Extra Grand Happy Birthday

Birthday Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using JustRite Papercrafts Extra Grand Birthday Sentiment and Spellbinders
Good morning sweet friends and happy weekend!  You’ll be relieved that I’m going to give gold a rest for today.  In fact, this card is all dies and even with all the frills it’s a very crisp card – I hope you like it.   Behind pink and gold, this green/blue is my color – I chose it for a birthday card today.   This week JustRite Papercraft  has been showing new releases for the month of September so the bold sentiment I’m using is from Extra Grand Birthday Wishes (psst, svgs are available for this set – HERE) and I’ve used the Garden Trellis Cling Background Stamp.
Birthday Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using JustRite Papercrafts Extra Grand Birthday Sentiment and Spellbinders
I used lots of dies for this card but encourage you to use this only as inspiration and substitute what you have.  I made a point to use Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics A and Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B because they are coordinated to stagger layers perfectly and makes it easy so out they came!  Don’t have them yet?  Optionally you can cut your own layers.   I mixed elements from Spellbinders A2 Scalloped Borders One and Spellbinders A2 Scalloped Borders Two– I love the look.  For my focal panel I used Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five and Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large and finished off with a tiny accent from Spellbinders Corners and Accents One.  

Here’s how I made it – step by step:

  1. Create a card base with cream card stock that measures 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″.  (Card base is made with two pieces of 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ paper scored and glued as in this Hinge Video.)
  2. From aqua mist card stock, cut/emboss 5 x 7 Matting Basics B #7.
  3. From white card stock, cut/emboss 5 x 7 Matting Basic A #7, adhere directly to aqua mist panel.
  4. Stamp Garden Trellis background stamp onto aqua mist card stock, emboss with white embossing powder then cut/emboss with 5 x 7 Matting Basics #5 adhere to previous panel with one layer of foam tape.
  5. On two separate pieces of 3″ x 5″ cardstock emboss/cut two panels using A2 Scalloped Borders One (scalloped/dotted edge) butted up agains A2 Scalloped Borders Two (filigree element with heart motif in center)
  6. Adhere two scalloped pieces with scallop on outside, adhere to previous panels with one layer of foam tape.
  7. From aqua mist cardstock, cut/emboss Labels Twenty Five #4, adhere to previous panels with one layer of foam tape.
  8. Attach a 9″ piece of ribbon vertically to stack of panels adhering ribbon in back with tape.  Attach stack of panels to card base using one layer of foam tape.
  9. Cut/Emboss Classic Ovals LG #5.  Stamp with Extra Grand  Happy Birthday.  Attach to card base using one layer of foam tape.
  10. Cut/emboss small scroll piece from Corners and Accents One and attach to end of oval.
  11. Add bow, button and pearls.

    This card really is appealing to me today since it is such a cool and crisp one. It is going to be in the high 90’s today here in Oregon so we need all the “cooling” we can get. I really like the Labels 25 dies and have them on order. Thanks again for a beautiful card!ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    This is one of the most beautiful colors on the pallette. Love everything about this card.
    Clicking on the first two of the Question Parking Lot, I didn’t see where the question or answer was. It worked fine on the last one though. Just wondering??
    I never get sick of the gold and cream. Keep it coming!!!!!
