Hills of Tuscany, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you using the "Hills of Tuscany" set. I hear the word Tuscany and I think of the move "Under the Tuscan Sun."  Wonderful movie. Anyway, I found this card on the net. There's a video and you can follow it. I thought it started out making the card with the circle but it was making one using the arched die cut piece. So I ended up just cutting a circle on mine. It's okay, I still like it. You can see the video here.  Please read on to see how the card is made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Old Olive 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. One was taped to the inside and the other was textured using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. I glued that to the front of the card. 

A 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Flowering Zinnias" 12" x 12" package. I glued that to the front left side of the card. 

Now came the fun stamping. First the sky went in using Balmy Blue ink. Then the house in Copper Clay with a Pebble Path roof. The grassy area was stamped using Old Olive, Mine was stamped more times than in the video only because I couldn't get my white open areas inked. But it's still pretty. The water was added next using Lost Lagoon ink. I was following along as the lady was teaching it and she said she used the Lost Lagoon stamped off before stamping it on the front of the card. I just never learn to watch the video first, I just jump in and play along. We all make mistakes but it still turned out nice and with the way I did mine the water doesn't show much. The trees were added next using Mossy Meadow ink and lastly was the sun which was stamped using Crushed Curry.

I used the 5th smallest circle in the "Deckled Circles" die set.  Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the same "Hills of Tuscany" set and were stamped using Mossy Meadow ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them using the die from the ""Stylish Shapes" die set. A Dimensional was added to the left side and some double sided tape to the right side and it was set in place on the front of the card.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I do like how it turned out. I may follow another one of her cards on the video but for now I'll just leave it here.

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

Perennial Postage, Forever Love, Around the Bend, Mother's Day Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Mother's Day card to share with you. It's nice to get a jump on needed cards, isn't it? I like to try to plan ahead when I can and sometimes it actually works out! Please read on to see how I made today's card. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. After making my card I think Very Vanilla would have been a better choice. The card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 3" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Forever Love" 12" x 12" package. I die cut the bottom area of that piece using the curved die from the "Around the Bend" bundle. 

Using the same die set I cut the scalloped piece using gold foil card stock. I taped the DSP to the gold piece.

Next I cut a 3" x 4-1/4" piece of DSP from the same "Forever Love" package. I taped the piece to the bottom of the card base and then the foil layered piece was taped to the upper part of the card base.

The words are from the "Perennial Postage" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut them using the 4th circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set and I used the 3rd circle from that set on a piece of gold foil card stock. I taped the two circles together and set it in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.  And the card was finished.

This was a fun card to make. It was quick and easy and has an elegant look to it. Though I do recommend you use Very Vanilla card stock instead of Basic White. The white is just too bright and looks out of place. But the mom that receives it will not care.

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

Inspirational Sketches, Everyday Details, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thank you card to share with you using the "Inspirational Sketches" set. Please read on to see how I made it.

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 "Forever Love" 12" x 12" package. I don't know why I had ordered it but I thought I should play with some of it before it retires. 

The diamond shaped die from the "Everyday Details" die set was used twice to make the dotted design on the left side of the piece of DSP. I added tape on the right side and little dots of glue to the left side and set it in place on the front of the card base.

The bird is from the "Inspirational Sketches" set and was stamped using black Memento ink. I colored it in using my light Lost Lagoon Blends pen. I was going to use the Pretty Peacock but it was way too dark so I had to go with the next closet color. The belly was colored in using the light and dark Petal Pink Blends pen and the beak, feet and branch were colored in using the light Pecan Pie Blends pen. I cut the piece using the die from the "Everyday Details" set. The piece was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. I just eyed it so it was equal (enough) on the left, top and right.

The words are from the "Inspirational Sketches" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I die cut them using the die from the same "Everyday Details" set. I set them in place using Dimensionals and the card was done. 

Such a sweet bird. I forgot I had gotten this set and I don't think I bought it for the bird, I think it was the flowers in the set. I will have to play with that image soon.

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

Meandering Meadows, Heartfelt Hexagons, Everyday Details, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a simple and quick sympathy 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 bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and die cut the dotted diamond shapes using the "Everyday Details" die set.  Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

Next I used the same die set to cut the circle from a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Meandering Meadows" 6" x 6" package. I set it in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

The words are from the "Heartfelt Hexagons" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I die cut them using the rectangle from the same die set. Dimensionals were added to the left side and tape to the right where it would be sticking to the circle. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I think if I were to make another one I would use a smaller word piece, I think this is just a little too big. But it's still okay.  

And now I have another scrap strip to make a card like I did yesterday! Ya gotta use up those strips of scrap!

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

Meandering Meadows, Days to Remember, Birthday Cards, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick card(s) to share with you. Yesterday I made a card using the "Meandering Meadows" Designer Series Paper (DSP) 6" x 6" stack. After cutting the piece I needed for my card there was a pretty strip leftover and I didn't want to toss it in recycling, so I put it back in the package. I had noticed that there was another one in the package too, it was a hair wider but still, it's leftover and in the package. So I decided to make cards with the two strips. Please read on to see how these cards were made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut the Crushed Curry strips at 5-1/2" x 2-1/4". I cut two of them. That was my mistake, I should have measured the wider strip and cut the card stock to fit it but I ended up trimming the DSP and all was well. 

The strips were taped to the card stock pieces and then taped to the front of the card about 1/4" from the fold. 

Using the "Double Oval" punch, I punched out two scalloped ovals and set them aside. 

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I punched them out using the same punch. I taped the ovals together. Dimensionals were added to the back and then set in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

Super simple and you get to use your scrap pieces. Yay!

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

Heartfelt Hexagon, Meandering Meadows, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a pretty sympathy card to share with you. I like a layout I saw on Pinterest and I ran with it. You can see that card here. Please read on to see how I made my 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 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Garden Green card stock and a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Crushed Curry card stock. I taped the two layers together.  

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Meandering Meadows" 6" x 6"package. It was cut at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" and taped on top of the Crushed Curry piece. That was all taped to the card base.

Next I stamped the words using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" bundle. I stamped the border image using black Memento ink and the words were stamped using Garden Green ink. I punched the piece out using the matching "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. The "Heartfelt Hexagon" set is retiring but the punch is staying. I wonder what new set will come out to replace it so the punch can still be used. I'm hanging onto mine for a while, I still like the words in it.  Anyway, after punching the piece out Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

I love using this DSP, it allows for making a super quick and easy card that is SO lovely. The scenes in this stack have such a serene feel to them.

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

Darling Details, Give it a Whirl, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you that was done using a technique that is trending. It's fun, quick and easy. I found a video here but only watched it to learn about the circle and I just did the rest on my own. You can see the video here. Please read on to see how I made my card. 

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

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Copper Clay card stock for the layer and on top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock. I taped the Copper Clay and Basic White piece to the front of the card.

Next came the circles. I used the "Fresh as a Daisy" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and die cut two circles. I used the "Stylish Shapes" die set for that. I used the  3rd and 4th largest circles for this. You can use any circles you have, punches or dies, it's up to you how big you want your birds. You can also just do a single bird. I would do that if I had used a larger circle. Anyway, after die cutting the circles you fold them, not quite in half.  Here is another area with wiggle room. It depends on how much of the "belly" you want to show and that's where you fold it. A dimensional is added to the inside. I put mine about 1/4" away from the edge of the smaller half of the circle.

The bird bodies were set on top of the Basic White card stock for leg and word placement. When I saw where I thought they looked the best I taped them in place. 

Taking the Basic Black marker I drew the legs and toes. (I had opened my Basic Black Blends pen and some liquid came out and of course it would land on the card where it would make some color bleed. That's why the bottom bird's left leg has a mark on it. Grrrr).  Okay, once the legs were drawn in it was time to make the beak. I cut a 1/2" strip of Basic Black card stock and just snipped a couple triangles. I used a dot of glue and slipped them under the circle a little.

The tails were made by die cutting two hearts using a scrap piece of DSP. I glued them to the backs of the birds.

For the eyes I used some retired "Polished Dots" and I colored them in using my Basic Black Blends pen.  I don't know why some of my pens spew out some clear liquid but when they do they make a mess and I have not learned to just open them over an area that has nothing on it that matters. I let the eyes dry for a little bit and then I set them in place on the birds.

The "hello" is from the "Darling Details" set. There's supposed to be "there" under the "hello" but I lined up the "hello" on the edge of the card stock and the "there" didn't get stamped. It was a way of masking without masking!  Quick and easy. The piece was trimmed to 1/2" x 1". A piece of Boho Blue was cut to measure 3/4" x 1-1/4". I taped the words to the Boho Blue piece and then that was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.  And the card was done.

This was such a fun and quick card to make. I like how it turned out (except for the little bird's leg). I need to look and see what other color DSP I have that would work. I think I'd like to try something that is a bit more colorful. But all in all it was a nice learning experience.

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

Heartfelt Hexagons, Fresh as a Daisy, Wedding Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a wedding card to share with you. I found the layout to this card here and of course I changed it a little. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock and taped it to the card base.

Next I cut a 4"x 5-1/4" piece of Moody Mauve card stock and taped it on top of the Bubble Bath piece.

A 3-1/4" x 4-1/8" piece of Bubble Bath card stock was cut and the strips of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" package was taped in place. Those strips measure 1" x 4" and you need three of them.

Once the strips were taped on the piece was set in place on top of the card. I eyed it so the left, top and right looked equal.

The words are from the "Heartfelt Hexagon" set and were stamped using Moody Mauve for the outer design and Copper Clay for the words but the two are so close in color that it looks like it was stamped with the same color.  I punched out the words using the "Heartfelt Hexagon" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I liked taping the strips and I was surprised that I didn't mix them up and have to play a matching game to get them sorted out, I usually do.

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

Simply Zinnia, Timeless Arrangements, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. It's the scored lines that caught my eye. You can see the original card here. I did change it a bit. There were no instructions on how to make the card so I had to wing it. Please read on to see how I made my version of the card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Berry Burst card stock. I stamped the Zinnia from the "Simply Zinnia" bundle using Berry Burst ink. I only stamped around the edges since the majority of the card base will be covered.

I cut a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock. I added 5 score lines. I with my card stock in my scoring board with the short side along the top, I scored the piece 5 times starting at 1" to 1-1/2". Then I turned my card stock so the long side was on the top and I made 5 score lines starting at 3-1/4" to 3-3/4".  

When doing the first set of score lines, only go down about 2-1/2". I placed my finger in that area so once my stylus hit it I knew it was far enough. Then when I turned the piece I scored down to those 5 score lines. You don't have to meet them perfectly, they will be covered.

The words are from the "Timeless Arrangements" bundle and were stamped using Berry Burst ink.

Next I taped the piece to the front of the card base about 1/4" from the top and 1/4" from the right edge. Make sure you tape the side of the card stock that does not have the bumps on.  You are taping the same side that was facing you on the scoring board. I made a tiny pencil mark on mine so I would see it and remember that this is the side to add tape.  

I fussy cut a zinnia from a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Flowering Zinnias" 12" x 12" package. I also cut two leaves. I didn't do a perfect job of fussy cutting and I usually just take a matching marker or Blends Pen and run the belly of the marker/pen over the edges. This time I just placed the flower between my thumb and middle finger and ran it over the ink pad like it was a cutting wheel. It covered my ugly cutting and it looks like I did a perfect job! Shhhh, don't tell anyone! LOL I should have taken a before and after pic. So once I got my "perfect" flower ready, Dimensionals were added to the back and I set it in place where the lines meet. I taped down the leaves.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White was added to the inside and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make and I really love those lines. They are simple and elegant.

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

Timeless Arrangements, Simply Zinnia, Thank You card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thank you card to share with you. I should be making Easter cards for our granddaughters but I have a whole week left to do that, right? Nothing like waiting till the last minute, which is what will happen! I know me too well! LOL  Anyway, I found out that the "Timeless Arrangements" set is going to be retiring so I thought I'd take mine out and make a thank you card. Please read on to see how this card was made and how quickly it went together.

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 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Shaded Spruce card stock for the layer. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White that I textured using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder (I don't know if it's retiring or not). If I had to guess I would have to say it is because it's one of my favorites and that's how it goes for me! So back to the card. I glued the Basic White piece to the Shaded Spruce piece and then I taped that to the front of the card base.

The words are from the "Simply Zinnia" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the stitched rectangle die from the "Timeless Arrangements" bundle. 

Next I die cut the leaves using Shaded Spruce card stock, the flowers using Bubble Bath (I don't know why I always start typing bubble gum) card stock and the dotted stems were die cut using gold foil card stock. I taped them down on top of the word piece with the green first, then the pink and lastly the gold. I added Dimensionals to the back on the bottom edge and just below the area where the layers of the dies are stacked. If you put your Dimensionals on top of that your piece will be tilted because of the thickness of those 3 pieces.  Once that was done I set the piece in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

I think it took longer standing at my Big Shot texturing and die cutting than it did to put the piece together.

I do like how it turned out. I had originally die cut Poppy Parade flowers but it looked like it was more of a Christmas thank you than a spring one. I suppose Granny Apple Green card stock would have really given it that spring look.  But it's okay, I like how it turned out anyway.

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

Around the Bend, Bee Mine, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you. I found the instructions on Pinterest while actually looking for something other than a card! You can see that video here. I don't know what the technique is called but it's easy and fun.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Sweet Sorbet card stock. Since it's an in color that is retiring soon I wanted to make sure I use more of it up before the end of April. Actually I forgot about that in color, it seems once the new ones come into play the previous ones are pushed aside.  Anyway, my card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock that measure 4" x 5-1/4" each. I taped one to the inside. 

On the outside piece I taped down four pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Bee Mine" 12" x 12" package. I cut these four pieces at 2-1/2" x 1-7/8". The DSP is scored on 4 corners. See the photo to know where each piece is scored. I marked my pieces at 1" on one side and 1" on the next side and folded the corner now. I did glue mine to hold it in place. 

Then I tape these pieces on the Basic White piece leaving about 1/8" border on all sides.

The words are from the retiring "Around the Bend" bundle using Sweet Sorbet ink. I kind of regret using that color. The Parakeet Party would have been too light and I think the Balmy Blue might have been too light too. I guess I should have tested it out on a scrap piece first. But I do know black Memento ink would have been way too bold. 

Once the words were stamped I taped that piece to the card base and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and a way to use up some of those scrap pieces of  DSP.

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

Playing in the Rain, Bee Mine, Friendship or Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun layout to share with you. I found it here. I didn't see any measurements so here's how I made it.

I like to use a folded half-sheet of Basic White for my cards because the colored paper is a lot more expensive, this way I can get 4 cards from one sheet of colored paper as opposed to 2. With the cost of paper going up all of the time it's the better way for me to go. Plus I don't have to add a Basic White piece to the insides for writing on. For me it's a win/win.

My card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Balmy Blue for the top layer. I textured that piece using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

Using a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Bee Mine" 12" x 12" package I cut three pieces that measured 1" x 3".  I glued these strips on in a zig zag sort of way. If you remove the bunny it looks like a backwards "Z".

The bunny is from the "Playing in the Rain" set and was stamped using black Memento ink. I colored in the shirt using my Blender Pen and my Sweet Sorbet ink pad. The ears and nose were colored in using the light Powder Pink Blends pen. Dimensionals were added to the back of the bunny and it was set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the same "Playing in the Rain" set and were stamped using Balmy Blue ink. I cut them out using the 4th largest circle in the "Stylish Shapes" set. I see the piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. I did add a tiny dot of glue under the bunnies foot so it stayed down.

I added some flowers from the "Loose Daisy" embellishments package. They were randomly glued in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun and quick card to make. I've never made this type of layout before. It was different and I do like it.

I'm not sure what category this card would go in, it could fit under several of them, friendship, birthday, for an accomplishment, for other types of good news.... What do you think?

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

Simply Zinnia, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick card to share with you. Yesterday when I stamped the flower image I also stamped and die cut out a few more and put them in the stamp case for future use. I didn't think it would be this soon into the future but the set was still sitting on my worktable, no surprise there! LOL Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather card stock and textured it using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. I glued that in place on the front of the card.

Then I cut a 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock. On top of that is a 3" x 4" piece of Basic White card stock that was textured using the splatter folder from the "Stipes & Splatters" embossing folder set. I glued that to the Gorgeous Grape piece and then that was glued to the Highland Heather piece.

The flowers were stamped using black Memento ink and die cut using the matching die from the "Simply Zinnia" bundle.

I colored the flowers using both light and dark Highland Heather, Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo Blends pens. Both light and dark Granny Apple Green on the stems and leaves. And the light Daffodil Delight on the centers of the flowers. Dimensionals were added to the back and the flowers were set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. They were punched out using the oval in the "Double Oval" punch and the scalloped oval was punched out using the same punch on a scrap piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock. I taped them together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

I'm very pleased with how this card turned out. It was fun and easy to make too.

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

Days to Remember, Around the Bend, Fresh as a Daisy, Birthday Card, Stampin Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you and it's got lots of pieces. It took more than the usual 20 minutes or so to make but it's SO worth it. I saw a card that Vicki from "Heartwarmers from Vicki" had made and I thought I'd give it a try. You can see her card here from her March 15, 2024 post. There's no direct link to the card, just to the blog. I love her little bunnies. I didn't have any bunny dies and I had to think of what I had that would fit in those squares and I ended up with the flowers. Please read on to see how the card 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 took the card to my paper cutter and cut off 2-1/8" from the front.

I taped on a 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" package. I also took another piece of the DSP that measures 2-1/4" x 2-1/4", it was cut diagonally and then taped to the inside of the card on the upper and lower right side. 

On the inside I also taped two layered pieces. The Boho Blue measures 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" and the Basic White piece measures 2-5/8" 2-5/8". I taped those two pieces together and then taped that to the inside of the card.

The flowers are from the "Around the Bend" bundle. I die cut 6 of them. Then I sponged on some Boho Blue to the tips. I glued two together. The center is a die cut piece of Copper Clay and glued to the center of each flower.

Next I cut three 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" pieces of Boho Blue card stock and four 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock for the squares for the front. I taped the two pieces together and I set aside the one Basic White piece left. I taped two of the squares in place first, the top and the bottom. I lied up the tip with the bottom and edge of the DSP. I thought the center one was a bit more difficult to put on. I added a tiny bit of tape where I thought it would touch the front inside of the card and then I set the piece on the inside of the card so I could line it up with the layers already taped down. Once lined up I shut the card and pressed down so it picked the square off the inside. Then I pulled the edges back a little and added a dot of glue on three tips (one at a time) and that piece was now affixed to the card. On the back of that piece I added the other Basic White square. But before taping it in place I stamped the words from the "Days to Remember" set using Boho Blue ink.

The flowers were set in place using glue dots and the card was done.

All in all it was fun but it does have lots of pieces to play with and I did lose one of the Basic White pieces. Who knows where it went! It's somewhere on my worktable. I didn't keep all the pieces in one spot and that's what happens. And then I wonder if I really did cut four or was it just three?  LOL.  I just cut another one and saved myself some time in hunting!

I am pleased with the looks of this birthday card.

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