4 – attach 4 x ¾” wild berry strip to printed piece using a little adhesive on the 2 ends (NOT in the middle!) and then Punch holes and attach brads on the 2 ends.
5 – Attach yellow scored piece to the wild berry strip. To do this, slide the longest section between the wild berry strip and the printed piece and center it on the front of your card. Line up the very edge of the scored end and attach with adhesive.
6 – Attach the first stamped image to the bottom 2 x 2 space at the scored end of the yellow strip. Apply adhesive to the 3 remaining ¾” scored sections on the yellow strip. Attach the last 3 stamped pieces one at a time working from right to left and lining up the left edge of the square with the score line. When you are finished you should be able to pull the bottom of the longest section of the yellow piece and watch the stamped images flip one at a time.
7 – Punch a hole in the yellow tab and attach the ribbon.
8- Fold the red base and attach behind the waterfall piece.

Have a great day!

You're Super!

One of the girls had a boy's birthday party to go to so I made up this quick card. He's stamped in Brilliance ink and colored with copics. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Pink Cat Studio?! Their images are just too cute!

This card was part of a class teaching cards that move. I love the cute little owls in this little Hero arts set!

Cut list:
1 – 8 ½ x 4 ¼ - Wild Berry Bazzill
1 – 4 ¼ x 4 – Bo Bunny – Honeysuckle
1 – 4 x 4 – white cardstock
1 – 4 x 4 – photocopy paper

Other Supplies:
Large Circle Nestabilities – largest circle
1 3/8” circle punch
Hero Arts sparkle clear You Hoo Owl stamps
Crop-o-dil or 1/8” hole punch
Black Stazon
1 brad
Cuttlebug

Tombows:
126 – Olive
969 – brown
992 – tan
025 – yellow
899 – chestnut brown
N79 – grey brown
553 – blue

General instructions:
1 – Using a pencil, X the back of the Honeysuckle print piece and trim down to 4” x 4”.
2 – Cut 2 circles out of the 2 white pieces using the nestabilities and the cuttlebug.
3 – Set the cardstock circle aside and fold the copy paper circle into quarters and then into eighths. Use the hole punch or crop-o-dile to punch notches at each of the fold lines. Add one notch between each of the fold lines ( I just eyeballed it!) Use this as a template for the cardstock circle and punch notches into it. Pierce a hole into the center.
4 – Stapm the owls onto the cardstock circle and color with tombows. Set aside.
5 – Using the X on the back of the printed piece as a guideline, punch a large dip on the side that was trimmed (you can tell which side was trimmed because the pencil lines won’t go to the corner, they will go to the side). Turn a quarter turn to the right and punch out the hole for the owls to peek through.
6 – Fold the wild berry piece in half to create the card base. Lay the printed piece on top and punch out the dip into the front of the card and pierce the center hole through for the brad.
7 –Using a brad, layer the printed piece with the owl stamped piece. Turn over and attach adhesive to the corners. Push brad through the hole in the card front, straighten the layers and adhere firmly. Push open the brad back.
8 – Stamp “You Hoo” onto the front of the card and “Friends Forever” on the inside.

So Inspiring

I just saw this on Dawn's Blog and had to share....grab your kleenex, you'll need it!

Incredible video about the relationship between a father and son.... and God's relationship with us.

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father, despite having a heart condition, said 'yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Iron man together.' To which, his father said 'yes' too. For those who don't know, Iron man is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this race video below .

I don't know how to embed the video properly, you'll have to watch it on Dawns blog, you won't be dissappointed!

Have a great day!

Birthday card

Alrighty! We've survived dance week and I thought I'd post something quick! This is a card I did in april when I first got this set from Papertrey. It uses their coodinating ink and cardstock!

Drowning in Dance!

I thought I'd let you all know that I haven't fallen off the earth, we've just been drowning in dance practices for the past 2 weeks and this week is filled with dress rehearsals and shows! I'll post next week, but for now I'm just too darn tired to even see straight!
