Spotlight on Nature, Wildly Flowering, Simply Said, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I thought I'd make one more card using the "Wildly Flowering" Designer Series Paper (DSP) from a 12" x 12" package. I have a lot of it left but thought I'd try one more before moving on to holiday cards. I found this card here. It's part of a pop up type card. I just like how the front looked so I went with that. Please read on to see how I made this 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 "Wildly Flowering" package and taped it to the front of the card.

Next I cut my circles. I used the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle for this. I cut a Basic White one using the largest circle die in that set. Then I cut the DSP using the next size down. I taped the two circles together and set them in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. They are about 1/2" up from the bottom and just shy of 1/4" on each side. Actually the right side of my circle is at 1/4" from the edge and the other side is 7/16". I had just eyed mine and got it close enough. Many times I don't bother to measure. If it looks right to my eyes it will look right to someone else too!

The "hello" was stamped next. It's from the "Simply Said" set and was stamped using Early Espresso ink. I cut it out using another die from the same "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. It was the second smallest die on the same side as the other two dies came from. There's 12 dies in this set and they are on two separate cardboards.  I added Dimensionals to the upper part and one towards the side of the word piece and tape to the left side where it would be touching the larger circles.

I had some retired embellishments and I added three of them to the card. Mine are from the "Candy Dots" package. The are very old and it's time to use up these things. If you're a demonstrator you can use what is current. I don't have many that are current because I need to use up what I have!  Once the embellishments were on the card was done.

This is a very quick and simple card to make. I can see myself using this layout for future cards,
