So Many Reasons to Celebrate Card

For the Front: Use the paper patterns from the package insert to cut the exact shapes to fit your card. To do this, cut out the patterns, trace them with pencil on your chosen paper, then cut out and glue to their corresponding blank panels. Place the flat die cut card vertically with the side step score lines on the right. Fold the die cut card by making a valley fold on the topmost score line and a mountain fold on the next score line; repeat all the way down. When gluing on your paper, use pink for the front, black pattern for the middle step, and green pattern for the back step.

Glue the first layer of the "So Many Reasons…" Papier Tole to the card and assemble all the layers with foam tape. Glue the pink flower to the lower right of the piece as shown. Glue "Happy" and two brads to the green step as shown.

Inside: Cover the top section with pink and the bottom section with green. Stamp "Hope Your Birthday Is as Amazing as You Are" onto black chalkboard paper with VersaMark™ ink and emboss with white embossing powder. Cut out a rectangle around the greeting and mat on ivory leaving a 1/16" border. Glue to the left side of the card. Stamp small cupcakes and candles on the little gray tag from the Embellies™ and foam tape it over the bottom right corner of the greeting piece. Glue the star with brad to the right side as shown.
