Cheerful Daisies, Unbounded Love, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another birthday card to share with you using the "Cheerful Daisies" bundle.  I found this card on Pinterest. It was the open circle on the front that caught my eye. I don't recall making a card like this and if I did it was a long time ago. Though I could have made one last week and didn't remember! I've been so busy lately I can't keep things straight. UGH! You can see the original card here. There was no link to the original card and there was no name as to who designed it. I used the materials I had and worked this card the best I could. Please read on to see how I put this card togehter.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Night of Navy 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 and taped it to the inside.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Countryside Inn" 12" x 12" package was cut for the front. I was gifted several pieces of this DSP and I have been struggling with it but like yesterday, I had found a card that used this paper and it was right up my alley.  This piece of DSP was taped to the front of the card.  

Using the 3rd circle die in the "Stylish Shapes" set I centered the die from side to side on the front of the card, which is about 1" from each side and the top is about 7/8" from the top edge. I cut through the DSP and card front.

I used the next size larger circle for the ring. I cut the circle and then used the die I used for the opening and cut the center for the ring. I glued the ring to the front of the card.

The words are from the "Unbounded Love" bundle and were stamped using Night of Navy ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut it out using the same die as the opening in the front. I closed the card and then taped the word piece in place. 

Next came the flowers. I cut them using the dies in the "Cheerful Daises" bundle. I colored the centers of each flower using my light and dark Daffodil Delight Blends pens. I did make my flowers a little different. I used all three layers for the flowers instead of just two layers. The two layers is very pretty. Mine was an accident. I wasn't paying attention and just cut, colored and glued all three. It looks just as pretty. 

I didn't add any bling because of the little white flowers on the DSP would not allow them to stand out as much as they would if the background was all dark.  

This was a fun, quick and easy card to make.

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