Sophisticated Sled, Greetings of the Season, Christmas Tag, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I started making Christmas tags. I don't know why I made these, they just get tossed out. I do know why I make them, they are just too cute, so why not! Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the tag is a piece of Basic White card stock. I textured it first using the "Timber" embossing folder. I cut it out using the largest die in the "Greetings of the Season" bundle. I prefer to cut first and then emboss but with this folder I thought it would shrink up my piece a bit so I embossed first and then cut. Fortunately the texture remained after cutting. 

After cutting the tag I added a piece of Baker's Twine for the hanger.

Next I took a 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Snowy Scenes" 12" x 12" package. I glued it to the center area of the tag.

Then the sled from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. The runner was cut from a piece of Early Espresso card stock. The body of the sled was cut using Pecan Pie card stock. 

The skates and laces were cut from a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I glued the laces in place though the slot on the skates.  I used some silver foil card stock for the blades and I glued them in place. Then I glued the two skates together but offset a bit.

Glue dots were added behind the skates so I could add the Baker's Twine. My piece of Baker's Twine is about 3" long. I used a glue dot for the center of the twine and then attached the ends to the back of the skates. Once the twine was stuck to the back of the skates I added Dimensionals to the back making sure I put one on each side over the twine so it stays in place. More Dimensionals were added to the back of the skate and it was set in place on the tag.

The greenery was cut using a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. I had stuck it to the glue dot that's holding the twine but it was a bit unstable so I ended up gluing it in place.

I colored 3 small pearls using my dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen. I set them in place on the greenery and the tag was done.  

To and from will be printed on the back. It didn't come with the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I think I have another set with those words in it but I will just hand write it. If you want to stamp it you will need to do that before you texture and die cut it. I thought that would be a lot more work trying to get it straight. Another option is to stamp it on a separate piece of card stock and glue it to the back of the tag.

I made several of these today and I'm saving one out to work it into a card. I think it would be fun and cute. 

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas tag,
Wanda

Reindeer Days, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. The other day while looking around on the internet I saw a poem that I thought I would work into a card.  The poem was just too cute to pass up. I had purchased the "Reindeer Days" 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and what to my wondering eyes is in that package?  Reindeer! Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a half-sheet of Real Red card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Falling Snow" embossing folder. Then I trimmed that piece to 4" x 5-1/4". I glued it to the front of the card. I also cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and I taped it to the inside.

The words were typed on my computer. I used Liberation Serif font at size 16 for the title, 9 for the author and 12 for the body.  If you'd like a pdf (4 per sheet) I will gladly email it to you. You can find my email on the right sidebar just past the large QR code. It reads "Got a Question".  I trimmed the piece to measure 2-5/8" x 4" and the Real Red layer is cut at 2-7/8" x 4-1/4". I taped the two layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I fussy cut a reindeer from the "Reindeer Days" DSP. I used both tape and small Dimensionals to affix it to the card. Any part that touched the word piece got tape and the rest got Dimensionals. 

I added a few snowflakes from the "White Loose Snowflakes" container. I just glued them in place.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I was so glad I ran across that cute poem.  And even better yet, I was thrilled that I had the reindeer!

Thank you Dee. I did fix the typo on the last line, mush should be must. And hopefully I can replace the photo wihtout messing up the page. Blogger gets a bit quirky at times. If I can't, this pic will remain but the word will be fixed in the PDF and on my card. Thanks again for catching that. 

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

Sophisticated Sled, Stylish Shapes, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest and you can see the original card here. I couldn't find any instructions so I went with how I felt it was made. Please read on to see how it was made.

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 Basic White card stock and stamped the wreath from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle using Soft Sea Foam ink that was stamped off once. I added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece in place on the front of the card.

Next the sled was made. I used Early Espresso card stock for the runner and Pecan Pie for the body. I glued the pieces of the sled together. DImensionals were added to the back and it was set aside.

The wreath was made next by using a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock and stamping the wreath image using Garden Green card stock. I cut it out with the matching die. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on top of the sled.

The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using Pecan Pie ink on a scrap piece of Soft Sea Foam card stock. I cut them out using the largest ribbon die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I cut them so the words were on the far right of the die cut. I snipped off the left side about 1/4" from the edge  of the words. I taped the word piece in place on top of the card about 1-1/2" up from the bottom and the tips are even with the right edge of the 4" x 5-1/4" layer. 

I removed the backing on the Dimensionals on the sled and set it in place. I lined up the runner with the bottom left corner of the word piece and then angled the sled until it was almost touching the words. 

Pearls were colored in using the dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen and set in place on the wreath. 

A Baker's Twine bow was tied and set in place using a little bit of glue. You can also use a glue dot but you need to roll it up a bit because it's too big. I do prefer the glue myself.  And that was it, the card was done.

I always forget about making my own background using images from the sets. I guess I've been spoiled by the Designer Series Papers.  This was a fun card to make and I'll add it to my stack of cards for our family Christmas ones for this year. I used to send out the same card to everyone but now I'm just going to use what I make from now until December 1st. Hope I can get enough done by then so they can get mailed out in time! Wish me luck there (LOTS of luck! LOL).

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

Sophisticated Sled, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I changed it a little. I did try to find the original post to see if I could get any instructions. I had no luck so please read on to see how I put this card together. You can see the original card here. 

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 Blueberry Bliss for the layer. Then I cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Blueberry Bliss for the textured piece. I used the "Forever Plaid" embossing folder to texture the piece. Place the card stock in the folder as straight as you can get it. Then it was trimmed to 3-7/8" x 5-1/8". I glued the two Blueberry Bliss pieces together.

Next came the sleigh. Using the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle I cut the runners I used Early Espresso card stock. For the bed of the sled I used Pecan Pie card stock. I glued the sled to the runner. 

The skates and laces were cut using Basic White card stock. I slipped the laces in the slot and added a dot of glue to hold them in place. I glued the two together a bit offset. Dimensionals were added to the back and they were set in place on the sled.

Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green card stock was cut for the greenery. I glued the Mossy Meadow one down first. I cut the Granny Apple Green piece in half and glued them at the center of the Mossy Meadow piece. 

I tied a linen bow and glued it on top of the greenery. I colored some pearls using my dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen and set them in place on the greenery.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the sled and it was set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the same "Sophisticated Sled" bundle and were stamped using Basic White card stock and black Memento ink. I cut them out using the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I set them in place using Dimensionals and that was it. 

This card has a lot of pieces to it but it's SO worth it.  I really like how it turned out.

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

Greetings of the Seasons, Sentimental Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick Christmas card to share with you. 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 Pretty Peacock card stock for the layer. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 'Sentimental Christmas" 12" x 12" package. It's from a beautiful sheet with some faint trees in the background and greenery on the upper left and lower right corners. It's a perfect piece for scrapbooking but it works well for card fronts too.  I thought the lantern was a nice way to make a quick card because it just speaks for itself.

The words are from the "Greetings of the Season" using Lost Lagoon ink.

I taped the DSP to the Lost Lagoon piece and then that was taped to the front of the card and the card was done.

I thought about adding some of the snowflake embellishments to the front but I decided to leave it as it is. There is one more sheet in the package that I could make a card with and add snowflakes if I decide to.

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

Labeled With Love, Thoughtful Journey, Layers of Beauty, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a masculine/fall birthday card to share with you. 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 Mossy Meadow card stock for the layer. Before I did anything else I used the die in the "Labeled With Love" bundle to cut the die for the layers.

The Designer Series Paper (DPS) is from the "Thoughtful Journey" 6" x 6" stack. It was cut at 3-3/4" x 5".  I taped the DSP to the Mossy Meadow piece and then that was taped to the card base.

The words are from the "Labeled With Love" and were stamped using Mossy Meadow ink. I stamped them over to the right a bit so I could add the leaves. 

Using Cajun Craze card stock I cut the leaves from the "Layers of Beauty" bundle. 

Now I'm ready to assemble the rest of the card. I cut the Mossy Meadow die cut piece in half and taped each half on the back of the word piece so it looks like it's layered. Mine wasn't cut exactly in the center but it really doesn't matter because the sides don't show much. Once the Mossy Meadow pieces were taped in place Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The Cajun Craze leaves piece was glued in place and the card was done.

This was a super quick, fun and easy card to make.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's fall/masculine Birthday card,

Choose Happy, Unbounded Love, Autumn Leaves, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. I didn't purchase any Halloween sets this time around because I don't have a need for a lot of them. But I did have a set that I was able to make it work. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Pumpkin Pie 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 and I taped it to the inside.

Next I cut a 3-1/2" x 4-5/8" piece of Basic White for the bottom layer.

Peach Pie card stock was used for the layer behind the Designer Series Paper (DSP) which is from the "Flowering Zinnias" 12" x 12" package. The Peach Pie piece measures 3" x 4-1/8" and the DSP was cut at 2-7/8" x 4".  I added a little bit of tape about1-1/2" down on the piece of DSP. Then I lined the DSP on top of the Peach Pie piece. Using a circle punch or die the opening was made. I used a 1-1/4" punch to punch through both pieces at the same time. You will need a piece of scrap copier paper. I fold mine in half so it's double thick and I set it behind the opening on the piece of DSP. Using a 1-3/8" punch I punched a ring from the DSP. You can use other sized and shapes too. I made a card using the "Nested Essentials" die set and it looked nice. Using larger dies or punches allows you to use larger images (kind of goes without saying, huh? LOL).  Once I got the circles made I taped the two pieces together.

The pumpkin was stamped next. It is from the "Choose Happy" set. I stamped it on a 2" x 2" piece of Basic White card stock using black Memento ink. Then I stamped the face using the same ink. I colored in the pumpkin using both light and dark Pumpkin Pie Blends pen. The stem was colored in using the dark Old Olive Blends pen.

Dimensionals were added around the circle on the back of the Peach Pie piece. The pumpkin image was set in place over the opening. Then Dimensionals were added to the rest of the Peach Pie piece and some double sided tape was added to the stamped piece. Then it was et in place on top of the Basic White layer on the front of the card.

The words were done on my computer because I didn't have anything in my workroom that read "Happy Halloween". I used the color code for Old Olive and I printed it out on a piece of Basic White card stock. Then it was cut using the die from the "Unbounded Love" bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back. I removed the backing and set the piece on top of the card but I didn't press down.

The leaves are from the "Autumn Leaves" bundle and were cut from a piece of DSP from the "Oxidized Copper" 12" x 12" package. I added tape to the back and slipped them under the word piece. I pressed down on the word piece and then on the leaves.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. This is one of my favorite layouts to use for smaller images.

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

Sophisticated Sled, Winter Meadow, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you using the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Pretty Peacock card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock. I taped one to the inside of the card and one on the front

I took another piece of Pretty Peacock card stock and using the "Perennial Postage" die set I cut out the second largest piece. 

The greenery and the laces for the skates were cut from the center of that piece before I went any further. 

A 4-1/4" x 3" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Winter Meadow" 12" x 12" package and was taped to the Pretty Peacock die cut piece.

I glued the Pretty Peacock greenery to the center of the piece. Then I cut a Basic White one, I also cut the skates at the same time. I cut it in half and glued that on top of the Pretty Peacock one.

The laces were slid into the slit on the skates and were glued in place. The blades were glued in place too. A piece of Baker's Twine was taped to the back of the skates. I cut it 3" long and set the ends in place on the backs of the skates. About 1-1/4" of the twine is above the skates on each one. I slipped the top part of the twine under the greenery with a little bit of glue. Dimensionals were added behind the skates and they were set in place on the front of the card.

A white bow was tied and set in place with a glue dot.

The words are from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle and were stamped using Pretty Peacock ink. I cut them out with the "Labeled with Love" die set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I don't often make monochromatic cards and it was a nice change.

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

Greetings of the Season, Sentimental Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

There is an exceptionally beautiful sheet of Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the "Sentimental Christmas" 12" x 12" package. I cut the sheet into 6 pieces and will be using them in cards as the weeks go on. One of them is a beautiful lamp with a candle in it. I can't wait to use that one. I'm not sure where what I will do with it but as I think about it in the days to come I will figure it out. So onto today's card.

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 the DSP to measure 4" x 5-1/4" and I taped it to the front of the card.

I had the tag piece cut from a different project and I had set it aside when I used it in different color. It's from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle.  I stamped the words on it from the same bundle using Pretty Peacock ink.

On the upper part of that Basic White tag I cut three boughs, two of Pretty Peacock and one of Pecan Pie card stock. I glued them to the top of the tag piece.

I colored some pearls using my dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen and I set them in place on top of the greenery.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the tag piece and it was set in place on the front of the card.

Using the "White Loose Snowflakes" I glued some on the front of the card and on the tag. And that was it, the card was done. 

This was a very fast card to make and super easy too.

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

Greetings of the Season, Sentimental Christmas, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you using Designer Series Paper (DSP) as the focal point. 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 took a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pretty Peacock card stock and textured it using the "Falling Snow" embossing folder. I glued that to the front of the card.

The strips were made using DSP from the "Sentimental Christmas" 12" x 12" package. Measurements for the strips of DSP are as follows: 4-3/4" x 5/8", 4" x 5/8" and 2-7/8" x 5/8".  And the Basic White layers were cut as follows: 4-7/8" x 3/4", 4-1/8" x 3/4" and 3" x 3/4".  I taped the layers together and glued them in place on the front of the card. 

Next I cut the deer from the same package of DSP using a circle die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. The Basic White layer behind it was cut using a die from the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. I taped the two layers together and added Dimensionals to the back. The piece was set in place on the lower part of the card.

The words are from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle and were stamped using Poppy Parade ink. I cut them out using the oval tag die in the bundle. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

I added some "White Loose Snowflakes" embellishments on the front of the card. I glued them in place. I also glued one over the string hole on the tag. These little snowflakes are so cute. I'm glad I got them because they are not available right now. I've been trying to get my hands on the peppermint candies embellishments. They were out of stock and then back in stock but I was out of town and on an unsecure internet connection so I didn't dare purchase them. When I got home the next day they were already gone. GRRR.  They are SO darn cute! But I will just work with the snowflakes and be happy with what I have.

This was a fun card to make and I do love those little snowflakes.

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

Winter Meadow, Greetings of the Season, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. 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 Night of Navy card stock and taped it to the card base.

A 3-1/8" x 4-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the focal layer. On top of that a 3" x 3" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) will go. Mine is from the "Winter Meadow" 12" x 12" package. I set it on top of the Basic White piece so I could see where the words will go.

The words are from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle and were stamped using Night of Navy ink.  

Once the words were stamped I taped the piece of DSP in place. I also took a 7" piece of ribbon and taped the ends on the backside.

The cabin image is from the "Joyful Images" package. This is a fun package full of printed die cut images to whip up a lot of cards quickly! I set the image in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. It has uses one of my favorite layouts.

Than you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,

Wildly Flowering, Get Well Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I want to share with you a card I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. I did try to find the post on the website and after a bit of searching I did find it but there were no instructions. 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 right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock and taped it to the front of the card.

A 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the next layer. On top of that is the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Wildly Flowering" 12" x 12" package. I had a piece leftover in my package so I thought I'd trim it up for my card. Instead of cutting the piece I had used a scrap piece for the bottom part. On the original card it looks like the bottom part is around 1". Mine is a full piece and the scrap piece was taped to the front. I could have cut the piece but I decided to use the scrap piece and get it out of my package. But if I were to make another one, I would make that bottom part 1". I would cut the bottom of and flip it over if I didn't have any other scrap to get rid of. Okay, so once I got the DSP taped to the Basic White piece. I took a 5" piece of ribbon and taped the ends to the back of the Basic White piece. I tied a bow and using a glue dot I set it in place on top of the ribbon. I taped this piece to the front of the card (on top of the Crumb Cake piece)

For the word piece I used the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set and a piece of the matching DSP. The words are from my computer and were cut using a larger die from the same set. I taped the two together and then set them in place using Dimensionals. 

I added five little pearls to the bottom area and the card was done.

I like this layout. It's a perfect way to use both sides of your DSP (if you like both sides, sometimes the backside isn't always the prettiest but most of the time it is). And there you have it, a quick and easy card to make.

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

Grassy Grove, Thoughtful Journey, Get Well Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a very fun card to share with you. I saw something like this on the net but I can't remember where. It was done using an oval die. I don't have an oval die so I used what I had. Please read on to see how the card was made.

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 1/4 sheet of Boho Blue card stock and textured it using the "Forever Plaid" embossing folder. I cut it to 4" x 5-1/4" and glued it to the front of the card.

Next using a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock I cut the trees from the "Grassy Grove" bundle. Then I took a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Thoughtful Journey" 6" x 6" stack. I glued the tree piece to the DSP. It was a bit of a challenge to find just the right spot to set the trees in place. Too many pretty choices. Once it was glued I used the largest circle from the "Stylish Shapes" set and cut it out.

I had cut two deers, one was from Early Espresso card stock and the one I used is from Pecan Pie card stock. I glued the deer in place. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The words were done on my computer and were printed out on a piece of Basic White card stock. Actually I duplicated the words and printed a sheet of them. I'm in the need of a lot of get well cards. I cut the words out using the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. The Fresh Freesia piece was cut using a die from that same set. I taped the two pieces together and set it in place on the front of the card. I added Dimensionals to the left side and tape to the right.

The dots on the card are from the retired "Candy Dots" package. I have SO many of these embellishments left and I need to use them up. I colored them using my dark Mossy Meadow Blends pen. It didn't color very well so I just dotted the pen tip on them. It gave them a textured look. Using what I have and trying to use things up. 

This was a fun card to make and I do like how it turned out. It's different and that's what makes it fun.

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

Unbounded Love, Flowers of Beauty, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a pretty card to share with you that I found on the internet. You can see the original card here. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of the card is a half-sheet of Shy Shamrock. I have hardly used this color and being I bought a full package of it, I should try using it more. Once cut in half on the short size it measures 4-1/4" x 11" This is a "Book" card so it's got a couple more score lines on it than a regular card. You will need to score this on the long side at  4-1/4", 5-1/2" and 6-3/4". The first thing I do after scoring is I glue the center shut. Then I tape a 4" x 4" piece of Basic White to the inside.

On the front, in the left thin panel is a 1" x 4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Unbounded Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped that strip in place. 

Then on the right side I cut a 4" x 4" piece of DSP from the same package and I taped that in place.

I die cut the ring using two circles from the "Stylish Shapes" set on a piece of Shy Shamrock. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set aside.

A strip measuring 1/2" x 2-1/4" and was taped to the front of the card about 7/8" up from the bottom and 1/4" from the right edge. Then the ring was added

I stamped the flowers from the "Flowers of Beauty" bundle. One was stamped using Peach Pie and the other using Berry Burst. I stamped full ink for the outline piece and stamped off once for the inside of the flowers.  I did the same with the leaves but I used Shy Shamrock ink. The bundle has matching dies so I cut each one out. If you don't have the dies you can fussy cut, there's not a lot of details to the images so it's pretty simple cutting. 

The leaves and flowers were set in place on the lower left side of the ring. I did prop up the flowers on the inside of the ring with Dimensionals.

The "hello" is from the "Unbounded Love" bundle using Berry Burst ink. I cut them out using the two circle dies in the bundle. I taped the circles together and I used Dimensionals on the back to set it in place. Be careful not to put the Dimensionals where it would sit on the ring. This is one thing I changed from the original card.

I took a piece of ribbon (retired) and wrapped it around the card and tied it in a bow. I slipped a glue dot under the knot to hold it in place.

And that was it, the card was done. These book cards are fun to make.

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