Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I am posting a simple Birthday card that you can make. This card was made using the Ivy Lane Paper packet from CTMH. If you have any questions, please leave a post below. I have given the measurements of each piece.

1. Using Ivy Lane Green cardstock cut a top folding card measuring 4 1/4 by 5 1/5.

2. Using a corner rounder round all four corners of the card base and then ink the card using the Pear Exclusive Ink from CTM

3. Cut 2 pieces of the Hollyhock cardstock found in the paper packet. The first piece measures 3 3/4 x 2 1/4. The second piece measures 2 1/4 x 1 1/4.  Once the pieces are cut ink the edges with Hollyhock Exclusive Inks from CTMH.

4. Cut 2 pieces of the B&T Duo paper. The first piece measures 3 1/2 x 2 and the second piece measures 2 x 1. Ink the purple pieces with Smokey Plum Exclusive Ink from CTMH and then adhere to the Hollyhock cardstock.

5. To complete the outside of the card, adhere the hollyhock card stock to the base of your card leaving a space between to add your birthday sentiment. The Happy Birthday that you see here is from the CTMH Teddy Bear Birthday Jeanette's Archive Stamp set. I also added a big of bling to the left side of the card shown below.

6. The inside of card is completed by using the Bamboo Card stock found in the paper packet. It measures 4 x 5 1/4 and the edges were inked and the birthday presents (also from the same stamp set as the sentiment) used Smokey Plum Ink. Adhere the bamboo card stock to the green cardstock.
