TO MAKE THIS CARD

1.  Score cardstock A, 5” from one side and fold giving you a 6" x 6" card.  Cut papers B, C, D, E, F and G to size. 

2.  With the blue ink pad, lightly rub it over the embossed paper (C) to highlight the raised designs.  Glue C with a B flanking each side.  Glue cardstock E on the inside of the card as illustrated in the card layout diagram.  Trim the edges for evenness.

3.  Ink the edges of the front of the card with the brown ink.  Ink the edges of cardstock E in place on the card.

4.  With the All Year Clear Stamp Set and the blue ink, stamp the frame onto the white cardstock.  Cut out the middle of the frame as well as around the outside edges with the craft knife.  Take a 2” square scrap of the pattern paper and glue onto cardstock F in the center.  Glue the Frame over it onto F as well.

5.  Stamp the birthday cake from the All Year Clear Stamp Set in brown ink onto a piece of white cardstock.  Ink with the blue ink and highlight image with colored markers using colors from the pattern paper.  Cut out the cake and mat with brown cardstock.  Secure onto F with 3-d sticky foam as shown in the card picture.

6.  With the Friendship Chain clear stamp set and the brown ink, stamp the sentiment continuously across cardstock D.  Ink the edges with brown ink.  Secure with glue onto the card below F.

7.  Glue G into the center of E.  Begin attaching buttons as desired with 3-d sticky foam or double sided tape if desired.

8.  Add a sentiment or thought inside your card or leave it blank for a finished project!
