Margaret's Fifth Avenue Birthday Card

I made this beautiful card with my Stampin' Up! Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set for a friend's birthday and they loved it! I used the stained glass technique and love how it turned out. Here's how to make it:

• Cut a 5 1/2" x 11" piece of white card stock and fold it in half for the base
• score it at 2 3/4" 
• Cut two 2 5/8" x 5 3/8" pieces of light pink card stock
• Cut two 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" pieces of patterned paper
• attach both pieces of patterned paper to both pieces of light pink card stock 
• attach panels to both sides of the front flap 
• attach 3 pink buttons at the bottom of the front flap

• Cut a 5 3/8" x 5 3/8" piece of light pink card stock
• Cut a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of white card stock
• attach the white card stock to the light pink
• attach the ribbon around both layers
• attach them to the inside right panel

• Cut a 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" piece of light pink card stock for the first layer of the front image panel
• Cut a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of white card stock 
• attach the white to the light pink card stock
• attach the square's left side to the front flap as shown

• Cut a 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of white card stock for the sentiment
• Stamp the sentiment in Stampin' Up! Pretty in Pink ink with a stamp from a Stampin' Up! Sincere Salutations set and set it aside
• Cut one piece of vellum with a mid-size Spellbinders Labels Four Die
• dry emboss it with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
• cut it in half and attach one side to the inside left panel and the other to the bottom half of the inside right panel
• Attach the sentiment to the inside left panel

• Cut out 3 vellum leaves with a Stampin' Up! Secret Garden Framelits Die and set them aside.
• Heat emboss 3 roses on vellum with Versamark ink and white embossing powder
• Color them with the stained glass technique (click here for an awesome tutorial)
• I used Stampin' Up! Pretty in Pink and Rose Red ink pads with a blender pen or an aqua painter works too.
• Cut out the butterflies with a Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit
• Attach the butterflies, leaves and roses with mini pop dots and enjoy!
