Make a Beautiful 5×7 Birthday Card with Gina K Designs
In this video project, I made a 5×7″ Birthday Card using Gina K Designs products. These include: the Hand-Picked Flowers Bundle & Stencil, Delicate Flowers Bundle, Master Layouts 8 & 20, Lattice Embossing Folder, Wild Wisteria and Kraft cardstock, and Gina K Designs inks.
Measurements
5x7" Card Base: 10 x 7", Score at 5"
Shadow Layer: 4 3/8 x 6 3/8"
Frame Size: 4 1/4 x 6 1/4"
Inside Panel: 4 x 6"
Card Instructions
For this card, I first cut the shadow layer using the largest rectangle from Master Layouts 8, then ran it through the Lattice Embossing Folder. I cut out the frame from Wild Wisteria cardstock using Master Layouts 20. Then I stamped the large floral stamp from the Hand-Picked Flowers Stamp Set on white cardstock.
Using a Gina K Designs Sticky Mat to hold my paper and stencils in place, I colored in the stamped image using the Hand-Picked Flowers Stencil Set, and Gina K Designs Standard and Detail Blending Brushes. I used the Gina K Designs Lilac Trio, Spruce Trio, and Wild Wisteria inks to color in and shade the flowers and leaves.
After the stenciling was finished, I cut out the image with the coordinating die set on my Mini Empress Machine. I attached the flowers to the back of the frame, then popped up the frame and flowers using Simon Says Stamp Big Momma Foam Tape. Then I placed the frame on the Lattice background, which gives the flowers a floating dimensional look.
Finishing up the Card
I stamped the Birthday Wishes sentiment from the Delicate Flowers Stamp Set, which is a sister set to the Hand-Picked Flowers Stamp Set. I used Wild Wisteria ink for the stamping, then cut out the sentiment with the coordinating die set. I also cut a few additional die cuts out and glued them behind the sentiment for more stability and to pop it up from the background, then glued that to the front. I used the same stamp set to stamp a floral spray on the inside panel, to carry the theme from the front to the inside of the card.
Hope you enjoyed this card project!
