Happy Birthday Card

Hello crafty bloggers today I have another fun

 Birthday card using

A Jillian Vance Design products:

Birthday Art Stamp Set 

Banner {die}tails Nested Die Set 

Chalkboard Backdrop Die Set 

 This card was simple to make, I love how the banner just

folds over the front.

To create the Base I used 

Stampin Up "Pool Party" cardstock.

Size of base is A2, trimmed of 1-1/2 of the

front

 

I used the  Banner {die}tails Nested Die Set 

and scored it at 1/4" and tucked it in between 

the base and the white layer.  This will just

fold over to the front of my card.

Materials:

Paper: Recollections "Bold Basics"

Stampin Up "Pool Party"

The Paper Studio Gemstones

and

Stampin Up "Crumb Cake Ink"
