Carta Bella Spring Market Birthday Card Folio
Hello, Friends! This cheery Carta Bella Spring Market Birthday Card folio is a gift and a card all in one.
Sweet and fresh as a spring day, this card is also quick and easy to put together.
- Create a 5″ x 7″ top fold card base from Whip Cream Cardstock.
- Mat a 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ panel of the green check paper on a slightly larger layer of pink cardstock. Then mat a second time on olive green cardstock.
- Then stitch the layers together on your sewing machine. Throw in a few zig-zag stitches just for the fun of it!
- Next, cut a 4″ x 6″ panel of the green leaf pattern. Stitch this onto a slightly larger layer of the green cardstock.
Carta Bella Spring Market Birthday Card Folio: Finishing Touches
- Fussy cut around the white line on the sentiment panel. This little detail makes all the difference in the world.
- Place foam tape or waste chipboard behind the sentiment panel and adhere to the card. This simple step adds loads of dimension.
- Now, from the sticker sheet, find “Fresh Flowers”, the pink rain boots and the “Beautiful Day” circular sentiment. Add these to the card as seen in the photo.
- Adhere a cluster of flowers along the left hand side of the sentiment.
- Tuck in a bow tied with Pink Plaid Ribbon.
- Place a mini binder clip on the right hand side of the sentiment panel. Tie a bit of pink burlap string around the post.
Carta Bella Spring Market Birthday Card Folio: A Peek Inside
Create a little sentiment panel from a scrap of the pink cardstock. Punch two holes through the left hand side. Then run a bit of ribbon through the holes and tie a vintage silver spoon in place.
For the pocket on the bottom, create a little treat wallet. Tuck in a tea bag, chocolate and honey stick. Now you’ve got a unique and lovely birthday gift.
