Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Garden

 

 I have a fun "window" card using the 'Dragonfly Garden' Bundle!

I think this turned out clean, simple & cute!!

 This is how I made the window....

I slide a 2 1/4" Circle Punch down from the top/card front,

centered it & then punched it out!

When making this card I did something 'old' I did years ago.

As I use to layer my white cards the way I did this one-

so that it had a colored base.

The Basic White card is 5 1/4 x 8"- score at 4" & fold in half.

Then layer this onto a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" Misty Moonlight piece of card stock

for the back of the card base.

 I stamped the flowers/stems on the inside of the card like this.

Notice how I added the Flowers for Every Season DSP to the bottom part of the 

Basic White card front and then wrapped the ribbon around the entire part.

 I cut a little slit, directly over the fold line

(by placing the fold line in the cutting part of my Paper Trimmer)-

making it just big enough to slide the end of the 12" piece of 

Misty Moonlight ribbon into it. 

I then tied a knot in it on the front side.

How did I get the words like this?

I actually just stamped them onto a little piece of 

Basic White card stock & fussy cut out around them with my scissors.

 

Look closely at the little dragonfly.....

I punched it out of Misty Moonlight card stock & then punched it 

out again with Vellum and layered them on top of each other!

I decided to add some Wink of Stella over the top of the vellum dragonfly

to give it some added sparkle!

So what do you think?

I think that this is a totally Susie card!
