Card Base: Cut Petal Pink 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 Front: Use the largest stitched rectangle and 4 largest rectangle to cut print paper rectangles. Use 3rd largest stitched rectangle to cut a Petal Pink rectangle.

Attach the largest print rectangle to the card front. Attach the smaller print rectangle to the Petal Pink rectangle. Attach these rectangles to the print rectangle on the card base.

Die cut smallest die in Rectangle Stitched framelits from Whisper White. Stamp Happy Birthday on this White die cut piece. Attach stamped piece to card front.
