Today's project will be one that the library ladies get to make at our March gathering in a few weeks. The bright and cheery floral vibe goes well with the challenge @
Hand Stamped Sentiments.
This card was inspired by a You Tube video that
Close To My Heart posted a few weeks ago...such a simple and sweet idea to turn four circles into a cute, square card and envelope in one. And it's just the perfect size to tuck a gift card into for your birthday recipient.
Using patterned paper for the 4 circles made the process quick and simple. The video lays it out for you step by step on how to adhere the circles together. I then layered the yellow and purple squares with my floral stamped panel (using retired stamps from TAC) and punched the corners with a fancy scalloped corner punch from back in my Creative Memories scrapbooking days. I stamped the metal rimmed tag with a purple dragonfly, adhered a pearl for it's head and stamped the tiny "For You" sentiment in black. Adding the yellow eyelet with my Crop -A -Dile tool was fast and easy. Tie it all together with yellow organza ribbon, tuck in a gift card and this little birthday "package" is all ready to be delivered.
