Place the card with the fold on the top. Cover card front with red glimmer paper. Cut a 6 ½”x1 ½” strip of white cardstock. Stamp the lanterns border across the whole strip. Color in the lanterns and flowers, alternating between red and yellow. Mat the strip onto black cardstock, leaving a 1/16” border. Glue the strip to the card 5/8” from the top.
Stamp the floral branch stamp along the top, sides, and bottom of the card as shown. Make sure you have a craft sheet or scrap paper underneath your card so you don’t stamp onto your work surface.
Stamp the words “love” and “beauty” and the Chinese symbols for love and beauty onto white cardstock and cut out each image. Mat each onto black, leaving a 1/16” border. Glue the pieces to the card staggered below the lantern border as shown. Ink the edges of the card black.
4. Inside the card: Create the same border matted onto black cardstock as you did for the front. Glue to card ¾” from the bottom. Stamp a floral branch at the top right and color in with the red and yellow brush markers. Cut out a 3 ¼”x1 ½” piece of red glimmer paper and stamp a fan on the left side. Ink the edges of the piece black. Print “Best wishes on your birthday!” on the red and glue to card ½” from the top and 3/8” from the left.
