Wild Bunch, Fabulous Sayings, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you that I found on Pinterest.  You can see the original card by clicking here. I did change it a little. 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" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock that I had printed a Buffalo Plaid design on using my computer. I had the SVG file for years.  I was glad I was able to locate it. I tried to match the Golden Glow color as much as I could. I'm pretty close! I taped this piece to the card base. 

Next, using the "Arched Dies" set I cut a piece of Basic White using the 6th largest die and I cut a piece of Golden Glow using the 5th largest die.

On the Basic White piece I textured it using the "Paradise Garden" embossing folder. I glued it to the Golden Glow arched piece. I set it under my stamping mat to set up and lay flat.

The snail is from the "Wild Bunch" set and was stamped using Basic Black ink. I colored the shell using Golden Glow ink (I didn't buy the Blends pens so I used my blending pen and the ink pad to color it in). I colored the body part using my light Smoky Slate Blends pen. I fussy cut the piece out.

The words are from the "Fabulous Saying" set and were stamped using Basic Black ink on Basic White card stock.  I cut them out using a die from the "Fern & Flora" bundle. I cut the words to the right so I could add something on the left since the words weren't long like they are on the original card. I colored the edges of the piece using Golden Glow ink. 

The leaf on the left was cut from a scrap piece using a die in the "Fern & Flora" bundle. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the arched pieces. I set it in place on the center of the card.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the word piece and it was set in place about 3/8" up from the bottom edge of the Golden Glow arched piece. 

And Dimensionals were added to the back of the snail and it was set in place about 1/4" up from the top edge of the word piece. 

I glued the leafy image in place to the left of the "hello".  I also added some Wink of Stella to the buds on that piece. 

This was a fun card to make and I was glad I was able to use the Buffalo Plaid design I had. It's just too fun to play with and it's what this card needed.

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