I designed a bunch of cards and projects for Demos Galore, a virtual event that was held back in January. For this event, I focused on the In Bloom Bundle for my creations. I’ve been sharing these projects on my blog since the event, and today I have for you details about my leaf banner birthday cards.
I was excited when I came up with the layout for these cards. It’s easy to look at stamp images and only see them for what they were made for. So when I thought to turn the flower stem on its side to make a horizontal vine, my mind went “outside the box.” All I needed was a narrower layer to stamp on. And the Hydrangea Hill and Pastel Pearls were a fun way to add accenting.
Here are the details if you wish to make one or both of these cards.

Measurements
- Basic White Cardstock: two pieces at 2-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (one for the outside and one for the inside), ¾” x 3”

- Granny Apple Green Cardstock: 7/8” x 3-1/8”

Directions
- Stamp the vines. Then stamp the leaves. Stamp full color for the darker green. Stamp off on scrap paper first, then stamp on the Basic White Cardstock to get the lighter green.
- Stamp Happy Birthday on the sentiment strip. Add to the Granny Apple Green piece. Put one Dimensional under the left side and middle. Add two stacked up Dimensionals under the right side. Set aside.
- Add the acetate under the left and right edges of the leaf/vine layer (remember to remove the protective layer on the back side of the acetate strips first). Add to the front off-center with Dimensionals.
- Add the sentiment strip. Add the Pastel Pearls. Add the inside Basic White layer.
