Happy Spring!

When I think of Spring I think of the many occasions in which I will be celebrating: birthdays, Easter, graduations, weddings etc. I always feel good when that special day arrives and I am prepared with a handcrafted greeting card and a gift.


What about you, are there special occasions you’d like to be ready for? Here is a quick card you can make.



Happy Birthday Card

Ingredients:
Brown Cardstock
Pink Lemonade Cardstock
Honeydew Cardstock
Mediterranean Cardstock

Using the Corner Maker, round the back two corners of the card.

Place one corner of Jumbo Wavy Square on the front flap, and using the Red Blade (outside of template), cut pattern as shown.

Place Jumbo Wavy Square on Pink Lemonade Cardstock, using Red Blade, cut inside and outside of template, making a corner measuring approx. 5-1/2" on each side.

Adhere to front flap of card and cut off excess on each side.

Using a Cocoa Pen, doodle along edges.

Using Scallop Circle (without holes) cut a circle from Honeydew Cardstock.
