Project by Teresa Welch
For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the left. Cut blue/red border paper to cover the front, with the red border on the left and cutting it to 1½" wide. Cut 3"x2½" white cardstock and mat it on red paper with 1/16" borders, then on black paper with 1/32" borders. Cut out the “#1 kid&rdquo,; “fun&rdquo,; and “wild & crazy” vinyl pieces. Glue to the white cardstock and stamp “surprise” as shown.
Punch holes in the focal as shown and insert black mini brads. Glue to the red/blue paper. Add a striped and a plaid rub-on to red balloon brads, then insert in the paper along with a plain balloon brad as shown. Glue the constructed front to the card.
Draw bows and curling strings dangling from each balloon. Cut out “super star” vinyl and foam tape to the lower right. Knot a 3" red ribbon, trim the ends, and use tape to attach as shown
For the inside: Cut 4½"x6" blue textured paper and 4½"x¾" red stitched paper. Glue the red paper across the blue paper, ½" from the bottom, then glue it centered on the inside. Cut 3¾"x3¾" red dotted paper and mat on black cardstock with 1/16" borders. Stamp “happy birthday” near the top, then wrap and tie red ribbon across the paper under the sentiment.
Cut out the vinyl pieces shown, then arrange below the ribbon and glue. Punch holes in the bike wheel centers and insert blue mini brads. Insert a blue swirl brad over the ribbon knot. Glue the constructed sentiment as shown.
