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,
Wanda
