Stampin' Up! PP Kit Alternative Belated Birthday Card

Happy Wednesday, peeps! I needed a birthday card for a woman at church who told me Sunday that her birthday was the next day so I wanted to send her a card, even though late.

I'm trying to use up my Paper Pumpkin kits, which will take a long time so I'm hoping I'll still be alive 10 years from now! This card used the card base and envelope papers from the March 2016 Pocketful of Cheer kit. I also have 7 refills so if you want or need, I'm willing to sell them. I bought them to teach a class, which never happened!

1. Card base - Bermuda Bay (retired) - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". Make a tick mark at the top 2 1/2" measuring from right to left. Cut diagonally from the mark to the lower right corner and save the triangle piece.
2. With more of the Bermuda Bay card stock cut a piece that measures 1 1/2" x 5 1/2". Cut it diagonally from the top left to the bottom right.
3. I took the PP kit envelope and cut it to 4" x 5 1/4". I marked and cut it the same as the base above and adhered it to the base flap. I also cut a piece 1 1/4" x 5" and cut that diagonally from top left corner to the bottom right corner. I adhered it to the triangle from step 2.
4. Using the card base from the kit, I cut a piece 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" and then cut it from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. That I adhered to the triangle saved from the card base in step 1.
5. I cut a panel of Basic White measuring 4" x 5 1/4", stamped it with a stamp from the retired In Your Words set, using Bermuda Bay ink. The butterfly is from the current Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and is stamped with retired Pistachio Pudding ink. I adhered that to the inside of the base.

 

6. Next I adhered the triangle with the plain DSP to the flap with Dimensionals. The remaining triangle is adhered with liquid glue.
7. The outside sentiment is from the retired Perennial Postage Stamp Set. It is stamped in Bermuda Bay ink and cut out with a die from the current Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered it with Dimensionals.
8. I finished the card with 3 Brushed Brass Butterflies and it's in the mail winging its way to the recipient.

I hope you enjoyed my card. If you haven't tried this "fan card", there are several tutorials on You Tube if you want to see it being created.
