Spring Bloom Inlay Birthday Card

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share using products from Concord and 9th from Kristina Werner’s line. I can now share it since my Mother’s birthday has come and gone. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 10”, score at 5” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card (A7)

Step 2 - Trim a panel using White Cardstock to 5” x 7”. Place the Banner and Balloons Stencil (large circles) on top and apply ink using an ink blender brush. I used Gina K Inks in Innocent Pink, Passionate Pink and Lovely Lavender. Trim 1/8” to each side and adhere to card front using Bearly Art Glue.

Step 3 - Diecut A7 Thin Frames using White Cardstock. Keep the inner piece and ink blend using a blender blush color of your choice. I used Gina K Ink in Lovely Lavender. Darker at the edges and going softer towards the center. Adhere to card front using Foam Tape.

Step 4 - Diecut Spring Bloom Inlay using Silver Matte Cardstock for the outline and various colors for the flowers and leaves. Adhere outline to card front using Bearly Art Glue. Adhere the inner pieces of the flowers and leaves using Bearly Art Glue.

Step 5 - Stamp Written Words sentiment using Versamark ink. Apply Silver embossing powder, remove the excess and heat set it with a heat tool. Diecut the stamped image with the matching Written Words Die. Adhere to card front using Foam Tape.

Step 6 - Optional - randomly adhere jewels in a silver tone to add some sparkle and shine.

This card can be used for an occasion by simply changing the colors and/or the sentiments.
