Flowers for Every Season Banner card
This card design is great for the those paper strips you are holding on. I made this a birthday card, depending on the type of papers you use it could be any kind of card.
Card Base: Cut Bumblebee 8 ½ X 11 paper in half width wise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.
Card Mat: Cut Whisper White paper 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp sentiment lower right hand side of card mat with Bumblebee ink.
Card Front: Cut 3 strips of 1 ¼ X 5 ¼ strips. Banner punch one end of each strip. Cut 1 strip 4 ¾ long, 1 strip 4 ½, 1 strip 4 ¼
Attach the longest strip against the left side of the card mat, with the straight end of strip at top of card. Attach the shortest strip against the right side of the card mat with the straight end of strip at the top of the card. Attach the remaining strip centered between the two strips on the card front with the straight end of the strip at the top of the card.
Attach Enamel dot next to stamped sentiment on card mat. Attach card mat to card base.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. Wasn’t that easy? For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
