And then I used that same circle & adhered it to the z fold 

that is on the inside of the card.

Don't you just love these embossed snowflakes!

AND

Notice the punch for the words?

I used the #162234- Modern Oval Punch= $22.00 pg. 54 HC.

I didn't need the punch quite as big as it is, so I stamped

the words onto a 1 1/4" Basic white strip & then punch it out.

NOTE:  You will adhere the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4" cardstock directly onto the Balmy Blue card base.  When adhered this be sure you DO NOT ADD ADHESIVE to the center of this!  You'll now emboss this front with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder & THEN DIE cut the circle using the 2 5/8" Stylish Shapes Circle Die.

Year To Celebrate

Check out these FUN cards!!

They could be used for many different occasions.

I love the images & the words in this stamp set!

Everyone stamping with me at my monthly October classes

will get to make their choice of one of these cards.

Which one do you like better?

THIS- the birthday one on the left?

OR 

THAT- the Happy New Year one on the right?

I used the 

#161945- Merry & Bright DSP= $12.50- pg. 15 HC.

I am not sure which one I like better....the dots or stripes!

On this card I only used one party horn.

Notice how I made little dots using my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend.

Check out how one can be made into a pocket card.

You can then add a gift card, cash or a note! 

I just added Tear & Tape to the 3 sides & left the top open to make the pocket.

There are no die for these party horns.

So I just stamped the curly one & cut it out with scissors.

 Notice how I stamped the end of the horn & cut it out too.

When attaching the party horn layered rectangle -

make sure you leave room to stamp your words.

I suggest you just lay your Basic White inside piece where you want it;

shut the card front so you can see where the words need to go; stamp the words; 

then attach them to the inside of the card.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Year to Celebrate'

card stock:

• Crushed Curry- 4 1/4 x 7 1/4"- score at 5 1/2" for card base
