How to make a Hinge Card: The Card Base is made cutting an 8 ½” x 11” piece of cardstock in ½ so you have 2 - 8 ½” x 5 ½” pieces. I used Spellbinders Grand Large Labels Dies for the White card base. Cut 1 piece using Grand Large Labels #5. On the 2nd piece - score the 5 ½” side at ½” and fold on the line. Lay the folded edge of the cardstock on the Die so it doesn't quite meet the cutting edge and cut out. This creates the hinge. Use “Red Line Tape” on the hinge and adhere the 2 pieces together so the hinge is on the inside. I like my hinge to be on the bottom of the card so that I can cover it when I add the layers.
To make the frames see Christina Griffiths You Tube Video “Creating a Frame using Spellbinders”. I used Blue Metallic for the blue layer.
I used Fancy Tags 3 for the Happy Birthday. Before removing the die I used my blending tool to add color to the embossed areas. Adhere to card front using Foam Tape.
