I think this fun fold would be a great birthday card to send to your loved ones and to send loved ones in nursing homes. The easel card is a great fun fold to display in the home as a reminder of your caring and thoughts.
This easel card is a fun fold that is as fun to give and display as it is to make. The easel card uses a top folding card base (11" x 4-1/4"; scored at 5-1/2") with an extra card front attached (5-1/2" x 4-1/4"). Each easel card base will use 1-1/2" pieces of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock. The easel card will fold flat.
Let's get started. You will need to cut the following pieces of cardstock and Designer Series Paper.

Start with the card base so that the two score lines are at the top. Fold and burnish the score lines on the card base toward you. These score lines will form a triangle on which the front panel will sit. Lay the card base flat again with the two score lines at the top.
Adhere the lower inside panel to the bottom of the inside matte. Wrap a 4-7/5" piece of Daffodil Delight Double-Stitched Ribbon around where the inside matte and the lower inside panel meet and attached with glue dots to the back. Then adhere this to the lower half of your card base as shown below. The upper portion is left blank to write a special message.
Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock in Night of Navy ink and punch out with the Pretty Label Punch. Attach Stampin' Dimensionals to the back. Then adhere to the center of the lower inside panel as shown above.
Put the card base aside for now.
Emboss the front matte with the Garden Trellis embossing folder. Adhere the lower front panel to the bottom of the front matte. I used the debossed side facing up, but this card looks just as pretty with the embossed side facing up.
Wrap a 4-7/5" piece of Daffodil Delight Double-Stitched Ribbon around where the front matte and the lower front panel meet and attached with glue dots to the back. Attach this to the front panel.
Stamp celebrate in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock and die cut with the small tag die from the Wood Crate Thinlit set. Attach two Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the tag - one underneath the hole and one in the center of the tag. Cover the hole in the tag with a Night of Navy large circle enamel shape or enamel shape of your choice. Adhere to the front panel on the Daffodil Delight ribbon toward the right side.
Bring your card base back. Fold the top score line toward you. The rectangular area between the top of the card base and the first score line will become the area the front panel will sit on. Put glue or snail adhesive on this area. Adhere this to the bottom of the front panel.
It is easier and less cumbersome to put as many of the flatter pieces together before adding the daisy.
Punch out 3 daisies from Whisper White cardstock. Sponge Daffodil Delight ink in the center of each daisy with a sponge dauber.
Glue the daisies together - one stacked on top of each other and off set. Off setting each layer will add more fullness to the daisy. Shape the petals by bending and curling them backwards by hand or with your bone folder.
Add a Stampin' Dimensional to the back of the completed daisy.
Stamp the daisy center image in Daffodil Delight ink onto Daffodil Delight cardstock. Punch out the daisy center using a 1/2" circle punch. Glue on top of the center of the daisy.
Attach the daisy to the center of the top portion of the front panel.
Stamp the leaf outline 3 times in Lemon Lime Twist ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Then fill in the leaf outline with the solid leaf image using Lemon Lime Twist ink first stamped off. That is, tap the solid leaf image on the Lemon Lime Twist ink pad. Then stamp onto your grid paper or scrap paper. Then stamp over the leaf outline. Stamping off the solid leaf image creates a contrast between the leaf outline and the solid leaf images.
Fussy cut the leaves and adhere underneath the daisy petals.
Your card is ready for giving and displaying. You can rest the front panel on the inside ribbon or on the Happy Birthday sentiment.
