Celebrate a spring birthday with flowers, plaids and an extra-thick gold foiled circle Greeting Tab. They’re precut and ready to go – 4 each of 9 great typefaces in traditional, elegant and contemporary styles for everyone on your birthday list. Hi, Jean here with a slimline birthday greeting today.
Cut the new Clara Blooms twice from a pale lavender/blue Twilight Purple Collection 6×6. Assemble the flowers – save the extra one for another project. Ink the center diecuts with Sunflower Yellow Brilliance.
Cut matching cardstock circles – about ⅝” in diameter – to use as a base for the flowers. Cover the circle with adhesive, then attach the petals. Highlight the centers with a bit of Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance ink. Attaching the petals to a base makes it easy to ink the centers and adds dimension.
Cut the large stem section from the Fresh Cut Stems set – from a medium-green 6×6 in the Greenery Collection.
Glue the center back of the assembled flowers over the stems – the petals will curl upwards for a natural look. You won’t even need foam tape!
Cut a blue/lavender Anemone Plaid 6×6 with the 1-⅜” x 6-⅜” Slim Basic Rectangles die – cut it vertically including the extra portion at the top edge of the sheet.
Cut a smoky blue 6×6 from the Stormy Blue Colllection with the smallest Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangle die.
Cut a 1-¼” wide strip of the light violet/purpled 6×6 from the Twilight Purple Collection with the short end of the largest Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangle die.
Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-½” x 8-½”). Add a Happy Birthday Foil Greetings Circle Tab. Add purple Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Foil Greeting Tabs save time and effort and are available in a variety of typefaces on heavyweight pre-cut circles and strips for birthdays and thank-yous. They’ll add the perfect finishing touch to your handcrafted cards.
Thanks for visiting…see you on Friday!
