Sunshine & Rainbows Birthday card
I struggle to make birthday cards for teenagers. I made this one for a teenage girl turning 14 and she loved it.
Card Base: Cut Magenta Madness 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. 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 Basic White 4 X 5 ¼ .
Card Front: Cut Sunshine & Rainbows print paper 3 ¾ X 5⅛. You will have a strip that measures 2 ¼ X 6, save this to use on your envelope flap.
Attach card front to white card mat. Attach these to the Magenta Madness card base.
Die cut the largest tag from the Tailor Made Tags die set from Basic White paper. Use the rainbow die in the Brilliant Rainbow die set to cut a rainbow in the center of the tag. Cut around a rainbow from the papers in the Sunshine & Rainbow papers and attach behind the rainbow cut out with dimensionals.
Cut a strip of Magenta Madness 1 X 3 ½ and use the border rainbow die in the Brilliant Rainbow die set to cut a border. Attach this border to the bottom of the white tag.
Cut 4” of Polished Pink Open Weave ribbon and attach to the tag. Attach tag to the card front.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Basic White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
