Hello Friends – Welcome to Saturady and the start of your week end.  Do you have your coffee in hand and ready to go.  The sun is shining here and hopefully we will see higher temps this weekend.  Oh boy!  just can't wait.  Today I have a card to share that will put a smilie on your face and think of new beginnings.  It's a detailed card but one you can easily accomplish.  It has a Very Vanilla Base and the Stamp Set is Season of Friendhsip.  Supply List Below.

MANY OF YOUR FAVORTIE ITEMS from the Holiday Mini are still available  Below is a list of favorites that have been carried over from the Holiday Mini.  These products are availabe on-line or you can place your orders thru me.  

Supply List

1. Card base is a 5 x 5" piece of Very Vanilla (101650)  scored at 5" , matted with Close To Cocoa (CTC) (101341) and a piece of DP from Tea Party (113992)
2. Next layer is a strip of CTC and Regal Rose (RR).  I punched the CTC with the Scallop Trim Border Punch (FREE IN the SAB) (118402).  The RR strip was embossed with our Elegant Bouquet embossing folder (115964)
3. Next layer is the focal point with CTC, Pretty In Pink (PIP) and Very Vanilla.  The vanilla piece is cut at 2 3/4 x 4" (I normally stamp my image and then cut is down to size.  It's called fussie cutting!!
4. The Stamp Set is Season of Friendship (111776) inked in CTC, PIP.  I used Itty Bitty Backgrounds (114996) for my speckles.  The sentiment is from Vintage Labels (119122) FREE SAB Set

For future posts I'm not going to list all of the measurements.  Just remember when you are working with layers.  Determine which layer you are going to start with and increase or decrease in 1/4 or 1/8 inch measurements (example:  on this card the base is 5 x 5, so my 1st layer is 4 7/8 x 4 7/8, the DP layer is 4 3/4 x 4 3/4. ) I chose for this card to work with 1/8 but there is  nothing wrong with working in 1/4's.  TIP:  With I use my border punches I determine my length and them punch one side with my border punch, then I decide what width I need and add 1/4" then cut my paper and then finish punching with my border punch.  Some of the punches cut off 1/4 to 1/8" from you paper.  So the next time you use your  punch check to see how much it cuts off..   I hope this helps, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to let me know and we will figure it out.
