Wishing You a Great Big Happy Birthday Card
Front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cover with circles pattern paper from the Grapefruit Paper Pack. Cut a piece of heavy white cardstock to fit the Label with Dots embossing folder. Run through the die-cutting/embossing machine following your machine manufacturer’s instructions. Cut out the center oval with a craft knife. Place the piece centered on the card, and trace the oval hole with a pencil. Open the card flat on a cutting mat and cut a hole a bit larger than the traced line with a craft knife. This creates your window opening.
Cover a rubber brayer with VersaMark™ ink by repeatedly rolling it on the ink pad. Roll the ink over the embossed cardstock, applying it to the raised design. Sprinkle Super Fine white embossing powder all over and tap off the excess. Set with a heat gun. With Mango and Tangerine Gelatos® colors, scribble all over the top of the embossed design. Using a cosmetic sponge, rub the colors into the recessed areas until the piece is evenly covered. Slightly dampen a paper towel and wipe off the excess color from the raised areas.
Cut a 3"x5" piece of acetate and stamp the birthday greeting in the center with VersaMark™ (being careful not to smear). Emboss using Super Fine white embossing powder. Glue the acetate to the back of the oval cutout piece so that the greeting lands in the middle of the oval. Apply foam tape to the sides of the piece and foam tape centered to the card. Glue a pink dot sheer bow to the bottom right of the oval as shown.
Inside: Cover the inside with black dots paper. Cut a 5 3/4"x4 1/4" piece of pink dot paper and glue to the center.
