Itty Bitty Birthdays Belated Birthday Card

I have a large immediate family between my family and my husbands family and I like to send everyone birthday cards, but I am not perfect and sometimes time slips away from me and I have to send out those dreaded belated birthday cards. I recently made a few just for those just in case scenarios.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Basic White cardstock

1 - 3 1/4"x 4 1/2" piece of Blue cardstock

1 - 1 1/8"x 2 3/4" piece of DSP (piece A)

1 - 1 3/4"x 2 3/4" piece of DSP (piece B)

1 - 3"x 1 3/8" piece of DSP (piece C)

1 - 2" circle

Itty Bitty Birthdays

Pearl Basic Jewels

Tempting Turquoise ink

 Layering Circle Dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and score that at 4 1/4" on the long side.

I began with the 3 1/4"x 4 1/2" piece of cardstock and the 3 pieces of DSP. I started by adhering DSP piece A to the cardstock in the top left corner leaving an 1/8" border along the top and side. I didn't press it down because I wanted the freedom to pull it up and adjust it if I needed to (I did this with all the pieces). I then took DSP piece B and adhered it in the top right corner again leaving an 1/8" of border all the way around it. You do not want the pieces to touch you do want so space in between. I then took DSP piece C and adhered it centering in the bottom leftover section of cardstock, just keep that border in mind while you'll putting it down. Once your happy press all your pieces down.

I selected the Belated Birthday sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and I stamped it in Tempting Turquoise on the circle. You can either die cut the circle before or after you stamp the sentiment it is completely up to you. I usually have a stash of pre die cut circles in a bag for quick crafting.

I finished off the card with three of the smallest size Pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewels.

Happy Paper Crafting!
