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 "Storybook Moments" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the card base.
Next I cut some strips of DSP from the same package. They measure 1/2" x 3-3/4" and the Basic White layer behind them measure 3/4" x 4". I taped the DSP to the layers and then that was taped to the front of the card. The bottom one starts about 7/8" from the edge of the card base and there's an 1/8" distance space between the strips.
Using the second smallest rectangle die in the "Nested Essentials" set I cut two Basic White pieces. I scrubbed on some Lost Lagoon ink on the bottom piece using my Blending Brush. I did lightly scrub a little bit on the upper piece too but not as much as the bottom piece. I just didn't want either of them to be so bright. I set the bottom one in place using Dimensionals. It's about 1/2" up from the bottom and 5/8" from the right edge. Though I think it could have been 3/4" from that edge so I didn't have to worry about the tail being so close to the edge. I thought it might hang over but I managed to move the fox over just enough. The fox came from the same "Storybook Moments" DSP package, there's two pages of punch outs that are filled with cute characters. I set the fox in place using Dimensionals too.
Next the words from the "Simply Said" set were stamped using Lost Lagoon ink on the second rectangle. I set it in place using Dimensionals. It's 3/8" from the fold and from the top edge.
The cute little butterflies were punched out from that fun page and were set in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.
This was a fun card to make and I can't wait to play with more of those characters. I can't wait to get my hands on the bundle because there's some cute frames in there to set these characters on.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
