Today’s card is one I made back in May to celebrate my sister’s birthday. My sister LOVES glitter so this card was a hit – she loved it!!
I made one of these screen divider cards last year for my son & daughter-in-law’s 5 year wedding anniversary but never posted it so I decided to make another one – this time with a birthday theme. Doesn’t this card look great?! It’s so cheerful, don’t you think? I used the Crazy About You stamp and the Faux Diamond Dust Technique.
Card Details
Want to know how to make it? Here we go . . .
- Cut your card base to 5-1/2″ x 11″
- Score cardstock at 2-3/4″, 5-1/2″ and 8-1/4″
- Using a border punch, create a border on top edge of card base
- Fold your scored cardstock in half then fold the other 2 panels back; you should have a peak, valley and peak folds
- At the bottom of the card base, center the decorative label punch on each panel almost half way up on your punch and punch. Tip: To ensure that all the panels are punched evenly, I punch one panel and then line up my other panels with the first one I punched.
- Stamp leaf image using VersaMark onto your card base. Now you’ve completed the card base.
- Cut 4 panels at 2-1/2″ x 4″ and stamp your flowers with Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder and Old Olive inks. Stamp your sentiment with Memento Jet Black Ink.
- Ink up your panels with VersaMark and pour Heat & Stick Embossing Powder all over the panels. Shake off excess and melt powder with heat tool until it’s sticky. The Heat & Stick powder allows the glitter to really stick to your cardstock.
- Apply Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder all over panels, shake off excess and use heat tool to melt powder until shiny.
- Adhere your panels to card base.
- For the front of my card, I stamped the big flower twice and cut around it and layered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals and for the finishing touch, I placed a pearl right in the middle of the flower.
- Fold the card and it fits right into our Medium Envelopes.
Make sure to leave some space to write your your wishes for the special person.
