This was a totally fun card to make -- of course, I say that about ALL of my cards. I guess I have way too much fun creating them all.
Paper
* Bumblebee (or Crushed Curry) Card Stock: 8-1/2” x 5-1/2”, 4-3/4” x 3-1/2”; scraps for cut out leaves

Inside
* Early Espresso card stock: 5-1/4” x 4”
* White card stock: 5” x 3-3/4”
* Patterned Paper: 3-3/4” x 1-1/4”
* Scraps of Cajun Craze and Bumblebee (or Crushed
Curry) for leaves
Other Stuff
* Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch
* Stitched Shapes Dies (1-3/8” square)
* Meadow Moments Embossing Folder
* Linen Thread
* Adhesives
1. Score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from score line to create card base.
2. Adhere 5-13/16” x
3-15/16” White card stock to card front.
4. Use embossing folder to add texture to right side of Bumblebee (or Crushed Curry) card stock; adhere over Cajun Craze card stock (see photo for positioning).
5. Adhere Patterned Paper about 1/8” from left side of embossed card stock.
6. Use dies to cut three 1-3/8" squares from White card stock; adhere over Patterned Paper with Foam Dots or Foam Tape. TIP: Position top and bottom squares first – this makes it easier to center the middle square between them.
7. Use Liquid Glue or Glue Dots to adhere leaves to squares as shown. NOTE: The leaves used on these cards were traced and cut with Brother Scan 'n Cut, but any leaves of about this size would work for this card.
8. Punch postage stamp from Cajun Craze card stock. Stamp or generate computer sentiment on White card stock; cut to 1-13/16" x 1-1/4"; adhere to postage stamp shape. Adhere to card front as shown with Foam Dots or Foam Tape. Make small bow with Linen Thread; adhere as shown with a glue dot behind the knot.
Hope you enjoy this card!
