Happy Birthday With the Enchanted Forest Signature Collection

Morning, I am so excited to be sharing a project I made with the Beautiful New Signature Collection from Sara. Enchanted Forest is a wonderful collection, packed with so many amazing crafting goodies. The card I am sharing is using one of my favourites, the foils and foil transfers.

You will need:

Enchanted Forest Frolicking Fairies Metal Dies

Enchanted Forest Foil Transfers Striking Cyan

Enchanted Forest A4 Luxury Matt Mirror Card Striking Blue

Enchanted Forest A4 Luxury Glitter Card Striking Blue

Centura Pearl White/ Silver

Matching Blue Satin Ribbon

Basic Circle Dies

Collall Tacky Glue

I have cut out all my layers and laid them on top of each other to show first, before I start the step Tutorial. They are not stuck down.

Step 1: Cut your Centura Pearl in to squares measuring 7 3/4, 7 1/4 and 6 3/4. Next cut each of your layers from the Mirror card, leaving only a narrow border. Cut a 5'' circle in the centre of the smallest white layer. Use the next die down in size to cut a circle in the next layer. Gut each piece of the Mirror card, leaving about an inch, this saves an awful lot of card for further projects. Create a circular frame from the front circle using the Circle dies.

Step 2: Use the Happy Birthday transfer on the front panel. I always pass it through my machine as the pressure is so good and you get a much better result, Only because my hands aren't good.

Step 3: On your back panel, position the wonderful Dandelion Strip, the branch and a bird and pass through your Gemini or other machine. Tie and add a matching bow.

Step 4: Cut a fairy from the glitter card, She has open arms which point towards the sentiment. which works perfectly. Use foam pads and tacky glue to mount up your layers as shown.

Here is the finished card:
