Frilly vintage look pink & black Paris birthday card and what to do with leftover flower wires

Vintage look Paris birthday card made with Sizzix French Flight stamp & die set, by Paperesse.

I've used the Sizzix French Flight stamp and die set to create this vintage look birthday card for my niece. It's one of the rare 'traditional' rubber stamp projects I've done recently (you can see the same set in action on this Paris thank you card). 


Of course, it was too thick and fragile to send in a flat envelope. It's rare I make cards anymore I can't send in a flat envelope and each time I do and have to pay the postage for a box, I remember why that is.


The sentiment comes from one of Cuddly Buddly's greeting sheets (love these! so quick and easy), this time it's Kim's Twelve Round Greetings Mixed 2

*Crafty Tip* Don't trash those cut, green wire, flower stems! Simply wrap around a toothpick and use as embellishments (you can see them peeping out in the detail photo above).

  3. What a great idea about the wires Shani - I am thinking of other places I could use those. The card is going to be such a treat for your niece - there is so much to discover in the design from the pearl beads[?] on the sentiment to the details in the papers, curly wires, and the butterflies! This is one of those cards you turn this way and that to see all the details and it makes you SMILE!
