Tree Birthday Card

 

Masculine birthday card made using Beauty of Friendship stamp set by Stampin Up



I haven't done some stamping for a while, so todays card uses Beauty of Friendship stamp set by Stampin Up. I also use the matching Designer Series Paper pack and die set to complete the card.

You could amend this card for the different seasons, just by changing the colour ink pads - for example using orange and reds for a more autumnal card

Follow the below link to find out how the card was made

You will need
  • A4 white card
  • Beauty of the Earth designer series paper by Stampin Up
  • Beauty of Friendship stamp set by Stampin Up
  • Beautiful Tress Dies set by Stampin Up
  • Happy Birthday greeting stamp (I used one from 'Piece of Cake' stamp set by Stampin Up)
  • Brown, green and yellow ink pads (I used ink pads from Stampin Up - chocolate chip, mossy meadow and delightful dijon)
  • 2 scalloped oval dies - larger one measuring about 10 cm by 7 cm and the smaller one measuring about 5 cm by 3 cm (You may need to adjust the smaller one depending on the size of your greeting stamp)
  • Scalloped edge die (mine was made by Lawn Fawn)
  • Brown string
  • Stamping aid - optional but helps with lining up your stamps (I use Stamparatus by Stampin Up)
  • Guillotine with cutting and scoring blades
  • Die cutting machine
  • Glue and double sided foam pads

  1. Cut a piece of white A4 card down to 25 cm by 17 . 5 cm and score at 12 . 5 cm along the 25 cm length edge. Fold along the score line to create your base card.

  2. Cut a piece of wood grain patterned paper from the paper pack to 16 . 5 cm high by 11 . 5 cm wide. Use the scalloped edge border die to cut a scalloped bottom to this wood paper about 2 cm up from the bottom. Glue this to the base card so it's 0 . 5 cm from the top and side edges.
