Today’s tutorial is for a border edged birthday card. For this design, we’re taking the border all the way to the edge of a tent fold card base. The lacy edging results in quite a fragile card. If you wish to strengthen it then one option is to add clear Window Sheet behind the lacy part.

The card is decorated with flowers and leaves die cut from the Hello, Irresistible DSP. This is just one of the packs of DSP which has 15% off this month!

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the border edged birthday card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own.

Colour Combo

This colour combo mixes Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Pretty Peacock.

Border edged birthday card

Start with an A6 landscape tent card of Petal Pink. Using the Elegant Borders dies, die cut right at the base edge of the card front (see video) to create the lacy border. Stamp a sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms set direct to the card front with Flirty Flamingo ink. Using the Irresistible Blooms dies, die cut 1 large and 2 medium flowers from the DSP and 2 duos and 1 trio of leaves from the DSP. Pop these up on the card front with dimensionals and mini dimensionals, layering the flowers and tucking the leaves under. Finish with Loose Frosted Dots.
