One of my favorite suites in the catalog is featured on pages 56 & 57. I used a couple products from this suite (the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack & the 1/8" Sheer Ribbon) and two stamp sets (the Happy Birthday Gorgeous set and Sheet Music background stamp) to make the following four cards.

They all have the same layout, but I changed up the designer paper pattern and the colors on each one a little bit.

I love that the flower images in the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set coordinate with the Petal Garden designer paper so that the inside of the card has a similar look.

Here are photos of the other 3 cards in this set. (You can click on a photo to enlarge it.)

Measurements:

• Calypso Coral or Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock: 11" x 4-1/4" folded in half for the card base piece
• Whisper White Cardstock: 4-3/4" x 3-1/2"
• Vellum Cardstock: 2" x 3-5/8"
• Petal Garden Designer Series Paper: 2" x 4"
• Whisper White 1/8" Sheer Ribbon: ~16"
• Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon: ~3-1/2"

Directions:

• Sponge ink onto portions of the Sheet Music stamp and stamp onto the front of the folded card base piece.
• Stamp "Make a Wish" onto card base piece and "Belated Happy Birthday" onto Whisper White piece using VersaMark ink. Add silver emboss powder, shake off excess, and heat with heat tool.
• Stamp flowers and leaves on Whisper White piece…
  • Stamp off onto scrap paper first and then onto cardstock to get lighter solid flower. Stamp outline flower on top with full ink.
  • Stamp leaf with full Old Olive color and then without reinking, stamp leaf again to get ligher shade.
• Attach Whisper White piece to the inside of the card.
• Attach designer paper with SNAIL. Attach Vellum with a narrow strip of Tear & Tape (to the area that will be covered by the 1/8" ribbon).
• Attach metallic-edge ribbon with SNAIL.
• And then wrap and tie on the 1/8" ribbon positioning bow over the middle of the metallic-edge ribbon.
