Oh Happy Day!

I love this card!  It's so quick and fun that I plan to make many more.  It makes a great birthday or congratulations card.  It would also be great for grade school accomplishments, like passing a big test, or a moving up a grade!  

The texture on the solid cardstock adds a little detail that doesn't go unnoticed.  You can emboss a whole quarter sheet of cardstock and then cut the strips to fit.  You'll get at least three depending on the width you choose.

Stamp and cut out the greeting using the Big Shot and the Chalk Talk Framelits.  I added an In Color Dahlias to the top for a little extra detail, but you could switch that out with any of our Designer Buttons. 

 Raising up the greeting gives it some added dimension and makes it stand out that much more!
Materials Used:
Stamp Sets:  Chalk Talk
Papers:  Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple, Crisp Cantalope, Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper
Inks:  Bermuda Bay
Accessories:  Alphabet Press Embossing Folder, Big Shot, In Color Dahlias, Dimensionals

 Hi, me again!  It's been a little longer than I had hoped, but I'm back with this cute little Hello and I hope it brightens your day!  
This is just one of the cards that will be made at my up coming class on March 15th.  This is a quick and easy card that can fit any occasion with just the right greeting.  I used Four You for my cheery Hello. 
 Change up the flower with another from the Flower Shop set or change the Designer Series Paper for endless possiblities!
