Our challenge for the week was "birthday". I needed a birthday card for a young man so this was perfect timing. I cased the card from the May 2009 issue of Stamper's Success, a magazine published exclusively for SU demos. I changed up the colors, the background texture (which the picture doesn't capture well) and the label but other than that, I copied it completely!
That's an important thing to note. I deal with copying quite a bit as a teacher. I always tell my students that it's a compliment when someone copies you. However, in the world of creativity and such, it is essential to give the original creator all of the credit! The Stampin' Success doesn't mention the creator's name which only tells me it was a Stampin' Up! employee but that person had my idea originally!
The card is a bound-edge card. To do this, simply score a selected distance from the fold of the card and score. The ribbon makes the card appear to be "bound" together.
Please be sure to see how the other BC members celebrated birthdays today! Happy Friday everyone!
