This book is Large and you 
can do So Many things with it! 💝
I love looking at all the ideas from the team. 

I did a little Paper Piecing on this card using Grand Garden Patterned Paper Pack on the book mark and pen. I also used Metallic Silver Card Stock for the top, center, and clip of the pen. Then cut foam squares in half to pop the pen up.

Next up is - Today and Always by: Lisa Hetrick

Oh those Polka Dots... 💖 

I love this set because Lisa made it easy for us to use this set with lots of techniques and styles!  

I thought I would do a large card with this set! 

It mesures 4 1/4" X 7 3/4" I used the jar from her Hello Beautiful     stamp set. Stamped it in Versa Mark on velum and heat embossed it with Fine Detail Embossing Powder. 

Colored the back with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. 

Stamped the flowers and leaves, fussy cut those too. Stamped the polka dots twice. Arranged the flowers to get a idea where I wanted the greeting. Then stamped the greeting and cut some grass 

green card stock for stems then glued and 

popped up the flowers and leaves.
