Telescoping Birthday Card

I am loving these telescoping cards!  Here's another one I made using a couple of sneak peeks from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog, available January 4!

Here's a picture of the card opened up. 
It fits nicely in an SU! Medium Square (5-1/2 x 5-1/2) envelope, shown here.

To make the bottom section, I used the Scallop & Clear Circles Bigz dies.  I then stamped images from the *new* Bordering on Romance stamp set (avail. Jan 4) in Basic Gray ink and colored them in with a blender pen in Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Riding Hood Red (all coordinating colors from the gorgeous *new* Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (also available in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog).

To make the top section, I punched Basic Gray with the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle and Whisper White with the 1-3/4" Circle punches.  I then stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Cake stamp set(avail Jan 4) in StazOn Jet Black and stamped and colored the flower images from the Bordering on Romance stamp set.  I then attached a piece of the *new* Riding Hood Red Pleated Satin Ribbon (also avail Jan 4) with a Regals brad - The new pleated satin ribbons are gorgeous!!

I just *love* the way this telescoping card turned out!  Thanks for looking!
