Howdy Birthday Katie Label Pivot

August 19, 2015

Hello my crafty friends! It’s Raquel Mason here today.  I love a good pun so I thought it would be fun to have Cocoa the Horse wishing you a “Howdy” birthday instead of “Happy” birthday.  Let me show you how I made this super fun card.KB PIW Howdy Birthday

1.  Cut mint card stock at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score at 4 1/4.  Place Katie Label Pivot die on the score line and die cut.

2.  From grey pattern paper, die cut (2) Katie Labels using the largest decorator die.  From curry card stock, die cut (1) Katie Label using the smallest decorator die and stamp “Howdy!” using Homegrown Greetings Clear Stamp Set.

6.   Cut (2) pieces of pattern paper at 1 7/8 x 5 1/4.  Apply adhesive the left side of the base card taking care not to get adhesive on the pivoting labels.  Adhere one piece of the pattern paper to the front and repeat on the back.

7.  Adhere decorator labels, stars and “Birthday” to base card using photos for placement.  Tip:  Use a fine line black marker to trace around the stars and “Birthday” for added dimension.

8.  Assemble pieces from Cocoa the Horse – only adhere pom pom to one Cocoa.  Adhere Cocoa that has the pom pom to the front of the card base.  Adhere 2nd Cocoa to the inside of the card lining up both characters.  Adhere pom pom to the party hat lining up the shapes.

9.  Adhere Glitter Border Lines and Glitter Dots where desired.

Happy Crafting,

Raquel
