Instructions: Click here to view the inside of this card. Card size: 6 x 6 1/2". Cover each panel of foldout card (see video for cutting paper) with the Backyard Blossoms Paper Collection. Die cut borders out of peach card stock and cut narrow borders using the plain edge of the Fleur Borders out of lavender card stock. Cut back border from peach using two of the Delicate Boders and the lavender narrow border using the plain die from the Classic Border set. Die cut a lavender and a peach using the Festive Holiday Die and one each using the Decorative Medallion Die. Glue the lavender Decorative Medallion to the back of the card on the right side leaving at least half sticking out from the edge then glue the peach one on (the lavender will appear on top from the front). On the other side, glue the peach Festive Holiday die to the back of the third panel (third from the front) at an angle and then glue the lavender Festive Holiday die on top of the peach. Cut one pocket from lavender. Cut a rectangle tag and an oval tag from decorative paper.
Stamp, die cut and color the fairies, blossoms, birds, critters, and coneflowers with Copic Markers. Glitter all flowers, fairy wings, and butterflies. On the back panel glue sitting fairy to log on paper, glue one of the birds to top right corner and glue some of the blossoms to the bottom area. On the inside of third panel glue the lavender pocket to bottom right and insert tags. Glue some of the blossoms on the left side of the bottom next to the pocket. On the back side of the same panel, glue the tall coneflower over the Festive Holiday die and then glue a short one next to it (one coral and one purple). Inside second panel, glue standing fairy to left bottom and the little bird and branch to top left. Glue small coneflowers to bottom right. Inside first panel die cut the paper with wheat stocks using the wheat stock die from Backyard Blossoms and then glue them on top of decorative paper. Glue tiny butterflies and bunny on the bottom. On the outside of the last panel glue two coneflowers (one purple and one coral) to the left side. Stamp It's Your Birthday on decorative paper and die cut with oval die then mat with another oval cut from peach card stock and glue these together then onto the front right bottom. Glue a bird at the top left on top on one of the coneflowers.
Now make a 3D coneflower using the sunflower stamp and die set. Sponge deep Purple color onto petals front and back. Shape by misting flower from the back, place face side down on shaping mat and starting from the outside, use tool to draw petals inward. Pierce hole in the center and insert a wired stamen (color wire with green ink) from the top (stamen will stick up). Fold flower in half and even tuck sides in to make it look more like a coneflower, then start adding 3D type glue to the stamen and rounded top of the flower to cover with Prills (Mix Go Man Go with Express-O Yourself). Add more glue and more Prills until you have a rounded cone center. Let dry completely, then glue flower to front panel. Tie a triple bow with lavender ribbon (or dyed seam binding) and glue to the front at the bottom of the stems.
