I promised the instructions on the card I made for the Flourishes Birthday Blog Hop yesterday. Thank you Flourishes for the invitation to be a part of your blog hop!
I would have added the instructions to that post, but a combination of computer problems, some not so great photos, dentist appointments and a rugby parent meeting cut my time short, oh and that thing called work, which involves the not so productive computer.
Lets go going! I mentioned my supply list, Worldwin Paper, Clearsnap ink and Bits of Bling, SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ 3D Foam Squares and MyStik™ and a bit of twine! I used Spellbinders™ LF-168 Grand Large Labels, S4-324 Ribbon Banners and S5-028 Nested Pennants.
I started with a Shaped Card base, made by folding 12×12″ cardstock in half, aligning the fold line just below the cut edge of Grand Large Labels #5 (#1 is the smallest in the set). I cut the shaped card base.
Next I taped the Grand Large Labels #4 to the card base, nesting it inside of the #5 die template. I embossed this in the Grand Calibur™, and that’s how I achieved the second embossed line around the edges.
I cut/embossed with the #3 die template with white and lighter purple paper for the front and side of the card. On the light purple front I stamped with one of the border stamps.
On the white-inside I stamped with one of the sentiments and floral images.
For the banner on the front, I stamped the plaid images and cut/embossed with the ribbon piece from Nested Pennants. For the Ribbon Banners, I curved the stamp to match the curve of the die cut.
I used 3D Foam Squares to mount the Ribbon Banner to the front of the card. I also used them to attach the twine to the Pennant, and then to the card, so they had a dimensional look. I added some bling and it’s done!
And the finished card again,
Thank you again for stopping by! Next week I’m in the Spellbinders Bunny Hop,
I’ll post that schedule next!

Love the card and the colors. Great play with the nesties.
I love the variety of what you can do with this die.What a great idea
So clever I can’t wait for them to hit the stores..
I need to watch u tubes on the grand calibur it’s looks like the grand of all
machines and I cannot wait for this stuff to be hitting a local store for free shipping.
This was a great card! I love these pretty Birthday Pennants and the die sets from Spellbinders! Mine stamps should be here tomorrow and I just got my die sets today! So excited! After seeing your card – I now know that I really do need this Grand die set – I always loved this shape, but your card made a simply stunning card with these sets! Love it!
Thank you for the instructions on the double embossing; I think I can handle that 🙂
Fabulous job Beth! I loved seeing the step-by-step in this darling card! So glad you ladies played along, your whole team’s creations were off the charts fabulous!!! 🙂
WOW!!!!!!! Love that card and the grand calibur dies. Spellbinders is becoming my middle name thanks to that new machine. Maybe someday I will be able to get one. LOL Sure hope so.
Another great job Beth.
