Cutest Crew, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a "Cutest Crew" card to share with you using the dogs. I had to be fair since I did the birds and cats so far. I found this card on Pinterest. I struggled with it because I'm not a dog person so figuring out colors for the dogs was more difficult for me than finding colors for cats or birds. You can see the original card by clicking here.  Please read on to see how I made today's card,

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Pecan Pie card stock and textured it using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I glued this to the card base.

Next I cut the circle from the "Stylish Shapes" die set using the largetst one.  

I stamped the words from the same "Cutest Crew" bundle using black Memento ink.  I glued this piece on top of the Pecan Pie layer.

The dogs were stamped using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. They were cut out using the matching die. I colored them in using Blends pens. I used Pecan pie for the brown dogs and light Gray Granite for the other two dogs. I used dark Azure Afternoon for one scarf and Poppy Parade for the other scarf. Two dogs have tags and I colored them using the light Pumpkin Pie pen. The flowers were colored  in using light Highland Heather and light Daffodil Delight. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

I cut the paw prints using the die in the bundle on Poppy Parade card stock. I glued it across the bottom part of the circle. I cut out the butterflies at the same time.

The dogs were set in place next. Then I added the butterflies and the hearts.  The hearts came from the centers of the paw prints I cut out. 

For a bit of a sparkle I added some Wink of Stella to the hearts and flowers and the card was done.

This was another fun card using the "Cutest Crew" bundle. My favorite is the birds and I hope to find time to make one more card using them before my order arrives.  Every time I mention that I'm waiting for my order to arrive I hear the Jeopardy theme son play in my head.  LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Cutest Crew, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a friendship card to share with you. I found the cats on my worktable and I had cut one of the cats off of it for a prior card. So I thought I'd look for a card to use the 4 cats. I found this and worked with it, click here to see the original card. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Petunia Pop card stock for the largest layer. A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White for the next layer and a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock for the top layer.  

I textured the top layer using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. 

Before taping the layers together I cut the butterflies from the center of the Petunia Pop piece.

After taping the layers together I taped them to the front of the card base.

I took my row of cats from the "Cutest Crew" bundle and colored them using my Blends pens. Going from left to right, I colored the first cat using light Petal Pink and added some stripes using light Pumpkin Pie.

The second and fourth cat were colored in using light Pecan Pie. And for the third cat I used light Smoky Slate, leaving the belly area uncolored.

I colored the butterflies using light Highland Heather, Melon Mambo (which should have been Petunia Pop but I picked up the wrong color) and the last butterfly is in light Bubble Bath.

The words are from the "Cutest Crew" bundle, stamped using black Memento ink and cut using the die from the "Spotlight on Nature" dies.

The Basic White strip was cut at 3-7/8" x 1-1/2".  I glued that strip to the front of the card about1" from the bottom of the Bubble Bath piece.

I added tape to the back of the word piece and let it in place about 1/2" up from the bottom edge of the Basic White strip.  I didn't press down because I thought I might need to move it.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the cats and they were set in place on the Basic White strip and was set in place on the bottom edge of the strip. I was happy where things were laying so I pressed down on the word piece. 

I glued the butterflies in place and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I am having a lot of fun with the images I had stamped when I was at my friend's place. I have a few more and hope to use them before the new items arrive. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Layers of Beauty, Banner Sayings, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Melon Mambo for the largest layer. 

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the top layer. I textured it using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I taped it in place on top of the Melon Mambo piece.

The floral image is from the "Layers of Beauty" bundle. I had run across this on my worktable and it was already colored. What was I waiting for?  I fussy cut it out but should have pulled out the bundle because there's a die in it to cut all of this out.  Oh well, it is what it is!  

The flowers were colored in using Blends pens. I had used Petal Pink light for the flowers. Then I used both light and dark Melon Mambo for the details. The leaves were colored in with light and dark Old Olive. 

The words are from "The Right Words" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using a die from the "Banner Sayings" bundle.  I taped it on top of a 7/8" x 2-5/8" piece of Melon Mambo and trimmed the ends to match the word piece.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the floral piece and it was set in place on the front of the card. 

The words were taped in place next and the card was done.

I thought about adding some embellishments but I am going to be mailing this so I didn't want to have to spend any extra in postage. 

It's always fun to run across something that is done being colored (though I am still wondering why I abandoned it), it makes putting a card together quick and easy!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Cutest Crew, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a friendship card to share with you. I just can't seem to get enough of these cute little birds from the "Cutest Crew" bundle. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Melon Mambo card stock for the largest layer.

The Petal Pink layer on top of the Melon Mambo measures 4" x 5-1/4".

A 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White was taped on top of the Petal Pink. I normally don't put the layers together before I do my stamping but for today I'm making the exception.  Normally I would take the Basic White piece and partially decorate it to the point to where I know the words would be going but I just went ahead and assembled as I went.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Love Notes" 6" x 6" package I had bought around Valentine's Day. I don't normally buy Valentine's Day sets or papers because they are only good for one day. It's not like it's a season or leading up to a season. Kind of like the 4th of July too. I refrain from buying sets in that genre too.  Anyway, I had broke down and bought this stack thinking I'd use a lot of the pieces and I did but there's a lot of pieces in the package to begin with. Anyway, I had cut that piece to measure 2-1/2" x 3-7/8".  I taped it to the bottom of the Basic White piece. 

I cut a 3/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Melon Mambo for the strip. I taped that in place on top of the DSP

I had stamped the birds several days ago (could be weeks by now) using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. They were cut out using the matching die. I colored them using my light and dark Blends pens. The one on the left is Petal Pink. The one in the middle is Bubble Bath and the one on the end is Melon Mambo. The beaks were colored in using dark Daffodil Delight and I colored the grass in using my Garden Green ink pad and a Blending pen since there is no Garden Green Blends pen. Dimensionals were added and I laid the piece on top but didn't remove the backing from the Dimensionals.

The words were added next. They are from the same "Cutest Crew" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink.

Then I set the birds in place.

I die cut the little butterflies using a scrap piece of Melon Mambo card stock and glued them in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a super fun, quick and easy card to make. I am just loving those cute little birds.  

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Impressions Abloom, Lovely & Beautiful, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick and easy card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. 

I cut a 3" x 5-1/4"piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to a 3-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Old Olive card stock and that was taped to the front of the card.

A gold foil hexagon piece was punched for the flower.

The flower is from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle and was cut from a piece of Basic White card stock. I sponged on some Petal Pink ink and then a little Calypso Coral ink. 

I used the flower center image on Petal Pink card stock using Petal Pink ink. I scrubbed on a little Calypso Coral ink and then I fussy cut it out. I glued it to the center of the flower.

Two leaves were die cut using Old Olive card stock. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the flower and it was set in place on the gold foil piece. Dimensionals were added to the back of the foiled piece and it was set aside.

The words are from the "Fabulous Sayings" set and were stamped using Calypso Coral ink. 

The foiled piece was set in place just above the "y" in happy.

A brass butterfly was added to the front and the card was done.

This was such a super easy and quick card to make.

I placed my Stampin' Up! order from the new catalog today and now comes the waiting game. LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda

Banner Sayings, Lovely & Beautiful, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun sketch I found on Pinterest to share with you. You can see the original card by clicking here. Once there you can click on the "visit site" and there is a sketch for you to print out. I printed one out so I can use this layout again in the future. It was nice to have all the measurements done for me. I'm so used to doing the measuring and cutting that this was actually a treat. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

Across the top the pieces measure 1-1/4" x 2-5/8" and 1-1/2" x 1-1/4". On the next row the pieces measure 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" and across the bottom area the pieces measure 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" and 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" times two on the last one.

My Designer Series Paper is from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. 

I always find putting the pieces in place the most difficult. But I managed to get them on so they look even.  I think this was the part of the card that was the most time consuming. 

Once the pieces were in place I needed to do the wording. I need a thank you card so I looked through my sets to find one that I liked and that was a good size for the space it needed to go in. The thank you here came from the "Banner Sayings" and as luck would have it, the bundle has a die that fit with these words perfectly. I had stamped them using Calypso Coral ink.

After cutting the words out I cut a 1/2" x 3" piece of Calypso Coral card stock strip to go behind the words. I snipped the ends at an angle and taped it to the back of the word piece. Dimensionals were added to the piece and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I had some retired enamel dots and I set them in place on the front of the card and the card was done. Now to get it ready to go out in the mail!

This is a fun sketch and I do plan to use it again in the near future. It's a perfect way to get rid of those scraps of DSP you have laying around. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,
Wanda

Brushed With Beauty, Petals of Beauty, The Right Words, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you. It's a pretty quick and easy card to put together. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base.

Next I cut a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Very Vanilla card stock for the large layer.

Two strips of DSP were added to the Very Vanilla piece. They measure 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" and the other measures 3-1/2" x 1". I taped them in place about 1/2" from the top and two sides of the piece. 

I cut a 3/8" x 3-7/8" strip of DSP that matched the large background piece and taped it over the strips about 2" up from the bottom.

Next I stamped the words. They are from "The Right Words" set and were stamped using black Memento ink.

The piece was then taped to the front of the card.

I stamped the flowers next from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle. I used Petal Pink for the base of the flowers and Calypso Coral for the outline. Daffodil Delight was colored in the center using a Blends pen. I cut them out using the matching dies.

I also cut the leaves from the same dies using Mossy Meadow card stock. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the large flower. I pressed the smaller flower to the larger flower so a Dimensional would hold it in place. I did the same for the leaves. Tape was added to the back of the leaves and the smaller flower and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make. I didn't add any bling because it is going in the mail and I didn't want to spend any extra on postage. Postage is getting SO expensive so I have to cut corners where I can.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Lovely Blossoms, Everyday Arches, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick and easy card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Lovely Blossoms" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the card base.

The floral image is also from the same package of DSP. I cut it from a sheet that has various images on it. Dimensionals were added to the back of the piece and it was set on the front of the card, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it.

The "hello" is from the "Everyday Arches" bundle. The stamp set is retired but the dies are, at the moment, still current. I stamped them using Secret Sea ink on Basic White card stock. I fussy cut them out. Dimensionals were added to the back and I set them in place on the front of the card. That was the part of the card that took the longest. It's nice when everything else is pretty much done for you.

For a final touch I added a couple of retired black sequins I had left in my stash. I finally used them up! Yay and shocker at the same time! LOL

I didn't have a lot of time today to make a card but I'm glad I ran across this package of DSP and saw this flower image. It made a quick and easy card and allowed me to have more time today to get a few things done that I needed to do.

Edited: I didn't notice it until now but the red line on the card is from when I was adding my name to the bottom right. I must have touched the red pencil on the editing program. But it's really not on the card. I need to pay better attention to the pics before I post. Sorry. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Brushed With Beauty, Everyday Arches, All in a Row, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a friendship card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the card base.

Next I worked on the triangles. I cut them from a piece of DSP from the same package. It measured 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and I cut it along the diagonal. I taped them to a 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and then that was taped to a 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" piece of Calypso Coral. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

I cut a 5/8" x 5" piece of Basic White and textured it using the "All in a Row" embossing folder. I glued it in the center of the card.

The square piece was centered on the card next.

I ran across the "hello" on my worktable and I thought I'd use it. It's from the "Everyday Arches" bundle and it had been stamped using black Memento ink. I do not remember the die that was used to cut it out. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the center of the square and the card was done. Though I think the large DSP background could use something. I may add some sequins or I may just leave it as it is.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Brushed With Beauty, Peaceful Pier, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. It was all of those different sized strips that caught my eye and I just had to give that a try. You can see the original card by clicking here. There were no instructions so I had to wing it and that's why mine looks a little different than the original. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I started out cutting my strips. I had watched the video and the placement of her card stock. She was measuring in centimeters (UGH) so I flipped my ruler over and began! The whole piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Brushed With Beauty" 12" x 12" package measures 7-1/2cm x 10 cm.  The pieces are cut at 1cm, 1-1/2cm, 2cm, 2-1/2cm, and 3cm.  That's the worst part of the card because I did the rest in inches!  I'm sure you've survived the metric episode! I did!!! LOL

A 4-3/4" x 3-1/3" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the layer the strips will be taped to. The video showed the strips being taped from largest at the top to smallest at the bottom. I didn't pay attention so mine is the opposite but it really doesn't matter, either one looks good. 

I taped the top piece in place and to keep my spaces spaces even, I took a round toothpick and butted it up to the strip and I butted the next one up to the other side of the toothpick. I held the toothpick in place as I did this so it stayed straight and was firmly set on the edge of the prior strip.  I did not press down on the strips until I was done setting them all in place, just in case they were a little off on one end. I did have to adjust my last two strips on one side and I was able to do that easily.

Once the strips were in place I stamped the words from the "Peaceful Pier" using black Memento ink.

The piece was then taped to a 5" x 3-3/8" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. Dimenisonals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

It's pretty simple once you have all the measurements. And now you do!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

The Right Words, Lovely & Beautiful, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick and easy card to share with you that uses a substantial amount of Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I found this card on Pinterest and made a couple of changes. You can see the original card by clicking here. There as no link to the original card posted on Pinterest. Please read on to see how I made the card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of DSP from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the card base.

Next I cut a piece of gold foil card stock. It measures 3" x 4-1/4".  I taped another piece of the DSP from the same package on top. It measured 2-3/4" x 4".  Before taping I cut a few pieces out of the center. Those leaves are from the "Delicate Whispers" bundle. (My sister gave me the bundle on Wednesday when we met for pedis. So sweet of her and she knew I had wanted that bundle!) I snipped the ends a bit so they would fit under my word piece.

After cutting the gold greenery, I taped the DSP to the gold layer. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was centered on the front of the card.

The words are from "The Right Words" set and were stamped using Versa Mark ink and then embossed with gold embossing powder. I cut them out using the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I also cut a gold one using the same die. I cut the gold piece in half. I added tape to the ends of the word piece and then stuck the gold pieces in place. Dimensionals were added to the back but I didn't remove the backing yet.

I set the gold greenery where I thought it would look the best. I added a little tape to the end of the stems. Then I removed the backing from the Dimensionals on the word piece and I set it in place about 2-3/8" from the bottom edge of the card base. 

I had some leaf pieces left over so I trimmed them up, added a little bit of glue to the stem and tucked them in place with the other gold greenery.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make. I love that DSP, it's SO pretty and holds it's own. The giant flowers are not busy at all, they have a soothing look to them. This would be a great card for several other occasions too.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Brushed With Beauty, Layers of Beauty, Petals of Beauty, Anniversary Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have an Anniversary card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed With Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card.

The flower was stamped next. It's from the Petals of Beauty bundle. I stamped it using the background stamp first with Petal Pink ink stamped off once and then the detailed stamp was used with full Petal Pink ink. Then it was cut out using the matching die in the bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

The words are from the "Layers of Beauty" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on a 1-1/2" x 4" piece of Basic White card stock. I stamped them to the right so the flower had room to lay across the area.

A 4" x 1-3/4" piece of gold foil card stock was cut for the layer. I taped the word piece to the gold piece and taped it to the front of the card about 1-1/2" up from the bottom edge of the card base. 

The eaves are from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle and were cut out using gold foil card stock. I snipped off the first three leaves and then the next three. On the second leaves, I did have to trim the edge a bit to hid where I snipped it. I added tape to the ends and set them in place on the front of the card. I did lay the flower on top to see where the leaves needed to go.

The flower was added next. I had some retired enamel dots and added a yellow one to the center of the flower and a Mossy Meadow colored one to the word piece. I had colored it using my Mossy Meadow Blends pen. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make because I was able to use some busy DSP that I often struggle with. Lately I've been challenging myself to use the busier pieces of DSP so I don't purposely ignore them when I see them in the package! So far so good!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's anniversary card,
Wanda

With You In Mind, Brushed With Beauty, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you using a layout at a friend's blog. You can see her creation by clicking here. Mine is a little different but I was inspired by Lynette's card. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White for the largest layer.

The panel pieces are made using Calypso Coral card stock for the base and "Brushed With Beauty" Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 12" x 12" package. I cut the top piece of card stock to measure 3-3/4" x 2-1/8" and I cut the bottom piece to measure 3-3/4" x 1-1/8". The DSP was cut at 3-12" x 1-7/8" for the top piece and 3-1/2" x 7/8" for the bottom piece.  I taped the layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back.

I set the DSP layered pieces on my Basic White layer to see where the wording would go.  The "Happy Birthday" is from the "With You In Mind" set with black Memento ink.

Once the words were stamped I set the panels in place.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the Basic White layer and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I added some enamel dots that I had in my stash. I don't know what package they came from, the were just in a little zip baggie.  But they were close enough to the right color so I used them.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make and I think it would be great for DSP that is a bit "busy".

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Cutest Crew, Simply Said, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun and easy card to share with you. I found this card on Pinterest and I just had to give it a try with the materials I have. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

The first thing I did after getting the base of my card ready, I took a quarter sheet of Basic White card stock and colored it with ink. Using water, ink and a paint brush I made a wash over the entire piece. I used Balmy Blue inker, then Misty Moonlight inker and then Night of Navy inker. I set this aside to dry. 

I cut a 5" x -3-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock that I splattered Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue ink on it from my Blends Pens. I just removed the cover off the pen and then tapped it hard against another pen (don't use another Blends pen to do that). The pen splattered ink all over the piece. I set it aside.

The birds from the "Cutest Crew" bundle were stamped using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. I cut them out with the matching die. The center bird was colored using Misty Moonlight light and dark Blends pen. The other two birds were colored with the light and dark Balmy Blue Blends pen. The grass was colored using the dark Soft Sea Foam Blends pen and the beaks were colored using the light Soft Sea Foam Blends pen.  

I die cut the little butterflies at the same time as I cut the birds out. I colored them with my Wink of Stella pen and set them aside. 

My washed paper was not quite dry so I used my embossing heat tool to help it dry faster.  I cut the third largest circle die from the "Stylish Shapes" set.  I took a chalk pen I had and splattered on some white dots. I thought it could use something more.

The circle was taped to the splattered Basic White piece about 1/4" from the right side and the bottom edge. Then I taped the birds in place. I taped them over the circle just to the point to where you can't see the circle between the 2nd and 3rd bird.

I stamped the "hello" from the "Simply Said" set and cut them out with the second smallest circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the large splattered piece and it was set in place on the front of the card base.

The butterflies were adde using a little dot of glue and the card was done.

This was such a fun card to make. I LOVE this set, it's so fun to play with because these characters are the cutest!

Thank you SO very much for stopping by to see today's friendship card,
Wanda
