I made this birthday card for a swap for one of the groups I belong to. The theme for the swap was simply "Purple and Yellow" so I had a lot of freedom to create any style card I wanted as long as it was predominantly purple and yellow. I had just received the most recent issue of Cardmaker Magazine and saw this layout for a card that I adapted to the swap theme. I used a yellow base A2 card with a lavender background paper. I created the bottom folded portion from SU Bohemian DSP (this design is a double sided paper that shows through on the folded section), added a birthday sentiment from SU's Petite Pairs stamp set, a yellow ribbon and bow and a lavender, purple and yellow flower embellishment secured with a brad.
The sentiment is from the June Paper Pumpkin kit. I 'really love getting the Paper Pumpkin kit each month. It's always a surprise to see the great stamps, ink, cards and embellishments that are included each month. The kit contains everything you need to make several cards and the items can be used in a multitude of ways in other projects. Paper Pumpkin is even a better deal right now until September 10th. First time Paper Pumpkin subscribers can get 50% off the first two months! Click here to go to my Stampin'Up! page click Specials and sign up for Paper Pumpkin using the promo code "HALFOFF'.
I really enjoyed making the card above with the Rectiform Technique I found on a Splitcoaststampers (www.splitcoasstampers.com/resources/tutorials/rectiform-grid_technique) The stamps used were Stampin'Up! Papillon Potpourri and World of Dreams stamp sets on natural cardstock with the Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink Pad.
