Floral Copperplate Birthday Card Tutorial

Although it may not appear like it, this card is pretty quick and easy to put together.

To begin with, we’re going to lightly blend Tumbled Glass onto an A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) of Porcelain cotton cardstock.

And then, we’ll go ahead and press the Copperplate Happy Birthday on porcelain cotton cardstock with Cosmic Sky BetterPress ink.  This will create the foundation for our card.

Die-cutting For The Floral Copperplate Birthday Card

The die-cut flowers on this card really bring the card to life.  To create a card like the one in the photo, please use the following guide and the Be Bold Blooms Die Set to die-cut as follows:

• Large Flower:  Sage, Waterfall, Snowdrift
• Medium Flowers: Waterfall, Snowdrift
• Small Flowers: Waterfall (cut 3), Snowdrift (cut 1)
• Partially Open Flower:  Sage, Waterfall, Snowdrift
• Flower Buds (cut 3 of each):  Sage, Waterfall,  Indigo
• Stems:  Indigo
• Flower Center Front (cut 3):  Chamomile
• Flower Center Backers (cut 3):  Tuscan
• Small Flower Centers:  Chamomile

I find that it makes working with these tiny pieces to be much easier when I use and embellishment tool and a reverse tweezers.  Now, you can use liquid glue to layer the flower center fronts on the backers.  And then, go ahead and fasten one to each of the large flowers.
