You're My Bunny!

 

Happy Almost March!  Today I have a Give It A Whirl Card using the new Spring Basket Stamp and Die Set from Lawn Fawn.  I thought it would be fun to have the eggs on the front of the "whirl" and then show them hatched on the base along with a bunny.

For the background on the base, and both Give It A Whirl circles, I used Broken China Distress Oxide Ink along with the Cloudy Stencil.  The grassy areas on all the pieces are inked with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink.  

Rather than color and cut the images on the Give It A Whirl Mechanism, I decided that since both of the layers were pretty basic, that I would just stamp and mask off.  I stamped the baskets and the contents, then masked them off using Post It Label Tap. Then I inked the sky and grass. I also prefer to do this technique on the back piece of the mechanism because there aren't edges that get caught up when you move the disks if you have die cut and glued them on.  

I wanted to use the Give It A Whirl Scalloped Add On to give the card a little pop, so I stamped the image with the bunny on the Give It A Whirl Messages: Friends die.  Once I had my image created, I glued it to a piece of patterned paper and then used the Scalloped Add On Piece to cut the whole think out.  

When you cut out the little fillers that go in the basket from the Spring Basket, the die cuts a little bit extra at the bottom to give you something to attach at the bottom.  I decided that I would use the Sandy Beach Accent dies to cut little openings in my grass to insert them it and it worked perfectly. 

All the coloring is done with Copic markers in the following colors: 

• E40, E41, E42, E43 - Bunny
• B000, BG000, B01 - Basket liner
• E31, E34, E35 - Basket
• Y11, Y08, Y38 – Chicks and Yellows
• RV04, RV00 - Tulips
• C1 – Egg shading
• R20, R21
• YG07, G16

The sentiment is from the Spring Basket set and was stamped on Guava Cardstock and cut out with the Everyday Sentiment Banners.  I popped the banner up using foam tape.  

I am really happy with the way this card turned out.  I just love Lawn Fawn's Interactive card, how about you?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great one.

Adventure Awaits

 

Hello!  I got the new Lawn Fawn release this weekend and have been just itching to get down to my Zen Den to play with some of the goodies.

When I saw the little mice with their maps and binoculars, I had to do a safari themed card.  I love how two of my little friends climbed up on top of the card to get a better look.

For the blue sky background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Uncharted Mariner along with the Cloudy Stencil.  For the foreground, I cut brown cardstock using the Stitched Hillside Border and then touched up the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  I also did a little bit of splattering on the ground with watered down ink to create a little more dimension.  

For the foliage at the top of the card, I used the Tropical Leaves Backdrop but I cut all of the leaves off at the bottom and about three quaters of the way up from the bottom.  The card would have been too busy if I had left them all on.  I cut them from Algae Cardstock and then blended a little Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide on the edges to soften them up.

The "bushes" that the leopards are hiding in are cut from a dark green cardstock using the Slimline Tropical Leaves Border.  The other little plants on the ground are some left over pieces that I had from the Desert Canyon Backdrop.

The images were colored and die cut from It's A Bird, Car Critters and Toucan Do It.  They were colored in the following Copic colors:

• G21, YG63, G94
• Y11, Y08
• YR31, YR14, YR18
• C2, C5, C9
• RV91, RV93, RV95
• E40, E41, E42, E43, E44
• R20, R21

This was such a fun little card to make - I just love it.  I hope you have been inspired to make a card of your own.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope an adventure is waiting for you!!!

Have A Happy Spring

 

Oh my goodness, spring is so close.  I created this card for the current Lawn Fawn Challenge #191 - Spring Fling.  While I usually think pastel colors, eggs and bunnies when I think of spring, I always forget that there are spring showers.  These little guys are taking some shelter under an umbrella to get out of the rain.

The background on this card is ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Uncharted Mariner.  Once the inking was dry, I used the Rainy Sky Stencil with some Lawn Fawn Yeti Ink to place some very subtle raindrops.

I cut the cattails using the Cattails Border Die from Algae Cardstock.  I added some shading using Copic markers in the same colors that I used for the frogs and log.  The pond is cut from Mermaid Cardstock using the Bayou Backdrop Die.

The umbrella is cut from Guava Cardstock and Frozen Lemonade patterned paper.  

My little friends, log and lily flowers are cut from the Toadally Awesome stamp and die collection and colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

·       G43, YG67, G94

·       Y04, Y17

·       R21, R22

·       E16, E25, E79

In order to give my card a little dimension, I popped up the raindrops, frogs and lilies using foam dots.

This was a fairly quick card to make and what I liked best about it, is that the coloring is simple and doesn't require a whole lot of markers.

Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you a dry spring.

Sorry You're Feeling Waffle

This cute card is made from a die set by Trinity Stamps call Toaster Card Die Set.  This set has a toast card in it but I wanted to do a waffle popping up instead.  My boys probably ate a million Eggo's growing up so I know I used my toaster more to warm up waffles than I ever did toast.  

To make the waffle card, I used the Clean Cup Layers: Circle Set A to cut out the waffle and to make the actual card.  To make the card, I cut a strip of cardstock 4" x 8" and scored the paper at 4".  I folded the strip in half and then placed the circle die just off the edge of the fold so that when it was sent through the die cut machine, the left side remained intact.  

The waffle is cut from an ivory color cardstock using the same circle die.  I used the Layered Waffle Stencil set to lay in the ink colors.  I used Tea Dye and Rustic Hinge Distress Oxide Ink for the waffle.  The stencil was larger than the die cut circle, so I just centered the stencil over it and then inked it.  For the syrup, I laid that layer on top of the waffle and inked in Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink.   To make the butter pat, I used the stencil with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink on a scrap piece of white cardstock, then I added the highlight using Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.  I cut the butter pat out and glued it on top of the waffle.  You could stamp anything on the inside of the card or just leave it blank.

Once I had my toaster cut and glued together, I used the Build A Banner for the letters that made the sentiment "Sorry You're Feeling".  The word "Waffle" was cut using the Henry's ABC's die set from Lawn Fawn.  

I placed the toaster on a 5" x 5" piece of patterned paper and then adhered that to a piece of cardstock cut to 5.25" x 5.25".  I added a few sparkle spots and some white gel pen accents to finish the card.

Who doesn't need a get well card this time of year?

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a happy and healthy day!

Let's Hug It Out!

Hello!  Gosh, these two T-rex's are just trying so hard to "Hug It Out".

I created this card using the Trinity Stamps T-riffic stamp and die sets with a little Lawn Fawn thrown in.  

Rather than ink blend a background, which is what I usually do, I decided to use a patterned paper.  I thought that I would do some tropical type plants behind them as opposed to creating a scene for this card.  

I used the Lawn Fawn Tropical Leaves Background for the greenery,.  I trimmed the upper top and sides off because they were going to encroach on my sentiment.  I cut it out of a medium green cardstock.  I was going to just leave it that way, but I felt like it was lacking the "wow" factor.  The picture below was my initial card.

I used the extra dies that come with the background die set and cut out more greenery using a darker green cardstock.  I popped them up with micro black foam dots.  

The image is from the T-riffic stamp and die set and was colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• YR21, YR24, YR27
• Y15, Y18
• C1, C4
• R17, R29

For the little speech bubbles, I used Lawn Fawn's All The Speech Bubbles for the bubble part.  The sentiment inside the bubble are from the T-riffic stamp set.  

The "hug" sentiment is from Simply Sentimental: Hug die set.  The other lettering is from the Banner Builder dies set.  

This card just cracks me up!  I hope you enjoy is also.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Reach For The Stars!!

Hello Friends!  I am still playing with the T-riffic stamp and die set from Trinity Stamps.  All the little dinos in this set are just so cute!  This T-rex cracks me up with his little grabbers. 

For the background on this card, I ink blended, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  Once it was blended and dried, I used my Lawn Fawn Starry Sky Background Hot Foil Plate with silver Glimmer Hot Foil. 

For the background volcanos, I used the Lawn Fawn Mountain Border to cut out a medium purple cardstock.  I cut the tops of the mountain and then blended the edges with a light layer of Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink.  I used some liquid glue and some orange glitter to make the lava at the tops of the volcanos and it looked really good until the glue dried and it wasn't orange anymore.  Whomp! Whomp!

For the foreground I used a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border to cut my hill.  I ink blended Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  The little plants around my friend, are cactus cut from medium and dark green cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Plant A Succulent Die.  

The T-rex is colored with Copic Markers in the following colors

• YR21, YR24, YR27
• Y15, Y18
• C1, C4

The "reach for the" sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Upon A Star stamp set.  The letters are from their Henry's ABC's.  The "you've got this" is from Trinity Stamps - A Sentiment For (almost) Anything.  

This is a really quick card to make because there is only one image to color and the rest are just die cuts.  

I hope you have found a little inspiration for this silly guy.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day.

You're My Jam!!!

 

Hello!  Do you have a friend that is totally "your jam"?  I know that I do.

This card was created with some old and some new from Trinity Stamps with a little Lawn Fawn thrown in.  

The mason jar is from the Half Pint Jar stamp set.  I wanted to fill my jar with strawberries, so I used the How You Bean Strawberry Add on from Lawn Fawn to do just that.  In order to stamp in my berries as close to the jar edge as possible without going outside the line, I cut a mask for the lower outside edge of the jar.  

I stamped the berries using the stamp where they are bunched up and four of the single stamps.  Again, in order to not have my stamps overlap, I cut a mask for the berry bunch and then stamped the single berries on top of that.  

I used my Copic airbrush system to color in the jar.  After masking off my single berries, I sprayed the jar first with BG0000 and then added B000 to the outside edges to give the jar a little dimension.  

Once I removed the masks, I colored the jar using B000 and B02.  The strawberries were colored with:

• R17, R29, R30
• YG07, G7, G28

For the large toast in the background, I used the new Toaster Card Die set.  I cut the toast card from white cardstock and then cut it in half.  I didn't worry about the square edges on the left side because I knew they would be covered by the jar.  

I used the airbrush again to color my toast.  I applied a light spray of E50 over the entire piece.  Then using the smaller toast die from the set, I used it as a mask so I could create the crust using E13.  To add a little more dimension, I removed the mask and then used E11 on the outside edges.  This is so easy to used to cover a large area if you don't want to ink blend.  

Using the This Calls For A Toast stamp set I stamped two toasts and added the cute little face to one of them.  They are colored with Copic markers in:

• E11, E13, E50, E53, E55
• R20 -cheeks

The sentiment is die cut from Simply Sentimental: Friends and heat embossed from This Call For A Toast.  

All the little elements are arranged on a piece of gingham patterned paper cut at 4.25" x 5.5".  I popped up the toast duo, sentiments a several strawberries using foam tape.  I like to add a little dimension to cards when they aren't interactive.

This turned out to be a fun little friendship card.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great day.

Baby Shower Treat Boxes

Hello!  Today I have a project that is for the current Lawn Fawn Challenge #190 - Anything But A Card.

I decided that I would use the Heart Pouch Die.  This was the first time I used it since buying it a little over a year ago and I wish I would have played with it earlier.  

I cut my pouches out of an older patterned paper called Ivy Remix.  I used a 12" x 12" piece so I was able to get two complete boxes out of each piece.  Once I had my pouches assembled, I thought that I would vellum heart to break up the plaid and have a nice background for my colored images.  I used the Lacy Heart Stackable die to cut them out.  

I used the Elephant Parade and Elephant Parade Add On stamp and die sets.  My images are colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• BG01, BG53, BG45
• R00, R11
• C0, C1, C3
• YG01, YG03

I used the Lawn Fawn white Hemp Twine to close the pouches.

I think what I like about these little pouches is that you could make quite a few pretty quickly if you had an event or shower that you wanted to make favors for.  No Grand-babies in my future as of yet, but we remain hopeful!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you found some inspiration from this post.  Have a great day!!!

You Make My Heart-saur!

Hello again!  I spent this cold snowy Colorado afternoon making this cute little shaker card with some fun dinosaur images from Trinity Stamps T-riffic stamp and die set.

For the background, I used the Desert Canyon Background die set by Lawn Fawn.  Rather than use the die as a cut out, I used the cut out as a stencil so I could make it a solid background - if that makes sense.  I plan on doing a video soon showing how I did it.  The background was ink blended using Prize Ribbon, Tumbled Glass, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks.

For the front of my card, I used the palm tree dies from Lawn Fawn's Hammock and Trees die set. I used two different colors of green cardstock for the palm fronds and a medium brown cardstock for the tree trunks. 

The foreground was cut using the Stitched Hillside Border die from Lawn Fawn.  For the coloring on the foreground, I used white cardstock ink blended with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks.  

The two little dinosaurs and the sentiment are from the Trinity Stamps T-riffic stamp and die set.  They were colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• R17, R27, R39 - Hearts
• YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27 - Triceratops 
• YG61, YG63, G21, G24 - Brontosaurus

I used Trinity Stamps' Sparkle Dots in Orange, Gold and Lime for the shaker elements.  I had thought about adding a few hearts, but I wanted to keep in neutral.   

This is such a fun little card!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope your day is as amazing as you are!

You Put The Cute In Charcuterie!

 

Hello my card making friends.  I am so excited to be the Trinity Stamps blog today to share this fun shaker card featuring the new Extra Cheese stamp and die set. 

One of my favorite words is “charcuterie”, so when I say the sentiment with the word as part of the Brie-lliant Sayings stamp set, I knew that I was going to have to put it on a card. 

I wanted the background of the card to look like a piece of cheese, so I blended a layer of Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of white cardstock.  Using the Cheesy Background Stencil, I inked in some Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink on the openings.

As I was inking the background, I thought that it might be fun to cut in some openings and turn it into a shaker card.  I used the smallest circle dies from the Clean Cut Layers – Circles: Set A to cut a few opening is the upper field of the background.  

Once I had the openings cut, I felt like it was too yellow, so I blended in a little Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink on the edges.  I also heat embossed my sentiment using black embossing powder. 

 While I was making the “wells” on the shaker backing, I realized that I had cut my opening so close to the top of the card, that my foam tape was going to show.  Yikes!  I used a Copic maker to color the foam tape in those areas and luckily you can barely see it one the card is assembled.  I used two layers of foam tape, so I had enough depth for the Shredded Cheddar Sprinkles.  I also added in some Orange Sparkle Spots for glitz. 

I cut a piece of acetate to fit the back of the front of the card and adhered it with double sided tape.  I then removed the protective tape on the foam strips and placed the front.

There are so many cute images in the Extra Cheese stamp set, that I wanted to put them all on the card.  However, I settled on just a few.  All the images are colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• Charcuterie Board:  E17. E27, E59
• Cracker:  YR20, E21
• Yellow Cheese:  Y13, Y15, Y17
• Pepper Jack Cheese:  YG61, YG63. YR31, Y17
• Swiss:  YR30, YR31
• Gouda:  R14, R24, R35, YR30, YR31
• Cheeks:  R20, R21

 Once these were colored, I used the Extra Cheese dies, to cut them out.  I used a little liquid glue to adhered the images along with a few of the orange sparkle spots on the card.    

 This was such a fun card to make.  I hope you have found a little inspiration to make a cheesy card of your own.

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!

You Are Rawr-some!

 

Hello!  Happy Superbowl Sunday.  If you were rooting for a team, I hope they won!

Today, I have a really cool light up card made with the Petite Prehistoric Pal from Trinity Stamps.

For the background on this card, I inked a piece of white cardstock with Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink.  I spritzed it with a little water, and then spattered some metallic silver watercolor.  

For the volcanos, I used the Stitched Mountain Borders from Lawn Fawn.  I cut my mountains from white cardstock and then inked them with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink.  To give them a little definition, I used a small blending brush and inked in some crevices with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink. The mountain tops, or lava are cut from Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Inked cardstock.  To make the volcano, I created my snow topped mountains and then cut the tops off to make them lava dripping volcanos.  

For the foreground, I cut three different colors of green cardstock using the Trinity Stamps Layered Lawn Die.  I didn't stamp it using the coordinating stamp because I just wanted the grassy shapes.  I touched up the cut edges with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink to soften the edges.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed one from the new T-riffic stamp collection on the background.  The "happy" is from the Simply Sentimental: Happy die.  The "birthday" was heat embossed using the Simply Sentiment stamp set from Lawn Fawn.  I also heat embossed the "push me" with a stamp from Lawn Fawn's Push Here stamp set.  

Once I had my grassy foreground adhered to the volcano range, I placed a few dinosaurs from the Petite Prehistoric Pal die cut set.  I cut them from black cardstock.  

I used a Pear Blossom Ez Light three light set to make the lava in my volcanos glow.  How fun is that? To add a little more lava excitement and fill in some of the open areas, I glued on a few Orange Sparkle Spots.  

I couldn't be happier with the way this card turned out.

I hope you have found a little inspiration from this card or sparked a few other ideas.  Thanks for dropping by.

Houseplants

 

Hello my card making friends, today I am on the ScrapbookPal Blog and I have the most beautiful card featuring Altenew's Houseplants Die. This is such a great set because you can either make a hanging plant or potted plant.  I decided to do both.  This is the perfect project to combine the use of ink and markers.  Lets get started!   

In the die set, there are three different types of foliage.  I did each of them using white cardstock blended with Distress Oxide Ink and complimentary colored Copic markers.  

The first color combination is:   Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink and Copic Markers YG63 and YG67.

The second combination is:  Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink and Copic Markers BG93 and G85.

The third combination is:  Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide Ink and Copic Markers YG23 and YG17.

The lavender flowers are cut from white cardstock that had Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Ink blended on it.  I used a Copic Marker BV11 to add some detail to the petals and the center piece was colored with BV13.  

The orange flowers are cut from white cardstock blended with Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink.  I just placed the die randomly on the inked areas so that I had a nice variation in color.  I used a Copic Marker RV04 to add detail to the petals.  

The markers were used to just "flick" a little color on the petals and leaves, which helps give them some dimension. 

The centers on all the flowers are from white cardstock blended with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink.

For the pots, I used two different colors of gray cardstock with a brown cardstock backing.  To add a little shading on the pot, I used Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink.  The rim of the pot, is white cardstock Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink.   

For the background, I used an off-white cardstock spritzed with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Spray.  Once the ink was dry, I used Altenew's Masonry Wall 3D embossing folder to give it some nice texture.   

For the sentiment, I used Tranquil Greetings stamps and dies with Memento Black Ink.  

Everything on this card was adhered with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.  I love everything about this glue from the drying time to the micro tip for fussy gluing. 

I hope you think this card is beautiful as I do and have been inspired to make one of your own.  Until next month.....

Howdy Little Buckaroo!

Hello and happy Monday.   As a mom of two boys, I always found it a little more difficult to find them Valentine's Day cards.  Even though they are now grown up, I still reflect on those childhood days.  I haven't had a chance to play with the Gnome On The Range stamp and die set from Trinity Stamps.  Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I decided to make a fun little Valentines.

The background of this card I used Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock using their Cow Print Background Stencil.  I did speckle it a little bit with some watered down ink.  

For the star opening, I used Lawn Fawn's Outside In Stitched Star and Stitched Star Frames respectively.  

The Gnome is colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• RV10, RV13, RV21 - Pinks
• YR30, E31, E50 - Hat
• R14, R27 - Reds
• R00, R30 – Gnome Face
• E42, E43 – Horse’s Mane
• E15, E17, E39, E29 – Rocking Horse
• N1 - Beard
• Y06, Y08, Y19 - Yellows

Most of the sentiment is from the stamp set, however, the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment is from the Simply Sentimental: Happy stamp collection.  I heat embossed the sentiments with gold embossing powder.  

This would be a really cute Birthday card just using the sentiments included with the card.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Sorry You're Not Feeling Gouda

 Hello!  I have just one more cheesy card to share.  This one includes the new Trinity Stamps Tiny Mouse Die.  I wasn't quite sure how I was going to use it, but I think it kind of makes a really cute outer border.

For the background on this card, I cut Mermaid Cardstock (LawnFawn) to 4.0" x 5.25".  I used Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Ink on the outside edges.  I spritzed it with Uncharted Mariner Distress Spritz to give it a little texture and shimmer.

I cut the mice bodies from a light gray cardstock, the ears from a medium gray and the eye and nose from a dark gray.  I touched up the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and blended just a tiny bit of Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink  inside their little ears.

The cheese pieces are from the Extra Cheese stamp set.  They were cut out with the coordinating dies and colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• Y02, Y08, Y15
• R14, R24, R27
• YR30, YR31

The sentiment is from the Brie-lliant stamp set.  I did have to trim the one sentiment that says, "Sorry Your Feeling Blue", so that it would work with the "Not Feeling Too Gouda".  I do this pretty often with sentiment stamps and haven't found it to ruin them or make them unusable.  I heat embossed it using black embossing powder.  

Once I had the everything assembled, I adhered the inner card to a medium gray piece of cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5".

I am really pleased the way this card turned out.  I hope you find it as cute as I do.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have an amazing day!!!

We Go Together Like Mac and Cheese!

 

Hello friends!  Today I have a card I created with the new Trinity Stamps Extra Cheese and Brie-lliant Sayings stamp and die sets.  The cheesy puns are just so darn cute!

For the background on this card, I inked a piece of white cardstock with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. Using the Cheesy Background Stencil, I inked the openings with Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Ink.  Right now, I am all about the Tim Holtz Distress Spritzes - I love them!  I spritzed the background with just a little Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz to give my background a little dimension and shimmer.  Once my cardstock was nice and dry, I used the little macaroni to randomly stamp with a light brown ink.  

To finish my card's background, I cut a circle using the Clean Cut Layers: Circle Set A die set.  

I colored my little images using Copic Markers in the following colors:

• YR30, E50
• YR31, Y17
• RV13, RV21
• R21, R22

I know that the yellow cheese is probably supposed to a Swiss, but I liked the size of it the best, so that what I used.  Maybe it's a block of cheddar that a mouse got into!

For the sentiment, I used one from the Brie-lliant stamp set.  I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and then trimmed it.

I found that I needed to put something between my little images and the background because they were blending in just a little bit too much.  The fix was to place a vellum heart between the two and that was just perfect.  I used the Lacy Heart Stackables from Lawn Fawn for that piece, but you could use any appropriately sized die.  

I glued my images on the vellum and then used foam squares to pop it up.  Remember that vellum does not play well with most things, so try to hide your foam pieces behind the mac and cheese.  

To make my card, I cut a piece of cardstock, 5.5" x 11".  I scored the paper at 4.25" and folded it.  Using the same die that I used to cut out my background, I placed it just slightly off the creased edge (left side), still making sure that it would still cover the right side of my folded card, and ran it through the die cutter.  

For the inside sentiment, I stamped it using the Simply Sentimental: Happy stamp set with black ink.

This made such a cute Valentine's Day card but you could definitely use it for other occasions depending what you put on the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!
