4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card

This is what I used to make this card:
     - Zoe Paper Pack
    - Glacier & White Daisy Cardstock
    -Glacier and Black ink
    -Glacier Extra Thick Twine
    -Coral and White Shimmer Trim

I cut the Zoe paper 4" x 5 1/4"  and the strip at 1/2".  The Glacier cardstock was cut at 3 1/2" x 5" and the white daisy cardstock was cut at 3 1/4" x 4 3/4".  I stamped the frame in Glacier Ink and then stamped the Happy Birthday inside of the frame in black ink.  The coral and white shimmer trim I cut the ends into dovetails.  I really like how the coral really sets off the card.  The glacier extra thick twine is just wrapped around the whole front of the card. 

This is a really simple card to make.  I really wanted to showcase the stamp set.  This is a really awesome stamp set.  Very versatile.

Here is what I made using this stamp set:

I used the Wishes How - To book pattern Top View for a 3 1/2 x 8 card.
I used some paper from the Wanderful Paper Packet (blue & white polka dot).  I used Colonial white as my card base.  I used Flaxen and Smoothie Cardstock also.

I stamped "A Happy Hello" in Smoothie ink right on the card base.  I stamped the stem of the flower in Flaxen in right on the card.  I stamped the flower base in Smoothie Ink, the next image in Crystal Blue Ink and then the inside image in Smoothie ink.  I put a green epoxy bubble in the center from the Blue & Green Epoxy Bubble set.  I did use 3-d foam tape to pop the flower and the strips.  I used some Flaxen Extra Thick twine to tie around the strips.  I used a sponge dauber in Flaxen ink to distress all the pieces. 

Better view of the flower with the 3-d foam tape.
