Playing in the Rain, Shower or Birthday or Congratulations Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that could be used for a shower, birthday or congratulations card. Does the image look familiar?  It's from last months calendar page. I thought I would work with it right away instead of letting it sit on my worktable waiting for me to use it or waiting to get ruined by something being set on top of it.  Please read on to see how I made this card.

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 Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Dotted Circles" embossing folder. I glued that to the card base.

Next I took my bunny image and trimmed it to 3-3/8" x 2-1/2". I taped it to a 3-5/8" x 2-3/4" piece of Old Olive card stock. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the lower part of the card about 1/2" from the left edge and the bottom edge. 

The words are from the "Playing in the Rain" (retiring) set and was stamped using Old Olive ink. I cut them out using the second smallest die in the "Deckled Circles" set and the Old Olive layer behind it was cut using the 3rd smallest die in that same set. I taped the layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back over the areas that wouldn't be touching the bunny layer. I did add a dot of glue to the upper right corner of the bunny layer and then I set the circle in place. And that was it, the card was done.

That was a very quick and easy card to make, especially when most of it is already done!

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