It is time to begin the fun. I usually start with the die-cutting or do it as I design.

From the alcohol ink background cut two hearts one small and a couple of sizes larger.

From gold cardstock cut two borders, three white or navy cardstock happy birthday die-cuts, and one gold cardstock happy birthday die-cut. Emboss the sentiment on navy cardstock with gold embossing powder and a heat tool. Cut night in navy cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score 8 1/2" at the 4 1/4" card front cut 1/2" off so that card back is slightly exposed. Run borders through Xyron adhere to the edge of the back flap over the edge and lined up to back adding the design to the edge. Run all happy birthdays through Xyron and stack lining up edges place gold happy birthday on top of the stack. Stub chomp the corners of the front edge of the card. Emboss the corners with VersaMark ink and gold embossing powder heat tool where you used the corner chomper on the two corner edges. Place the two alcohol ink background hearts on the front of the card and add foam adhesive tape if you would like to add dimension to the hearts. To place the embossed sentiment banner on the front of smaller heart adhere the happy birthday across the front of the larger heart. Then bling it with pearls. Open inside and measure and cut white cardstock to fit for writing your message on. Thank you for reading my blog and website. Join us next week for a new blog.
