Celebrate with Color

 There's so much to celebrate this time of year...graduation, end of school (for kids AND teachers), birthdays, retirements, weddings, etc. And by now, the weather is generally consistently pretty nice. What better way to acknowledge someone's reason to celebrate than with a bright and cheerful handmade card.

With many of our Designer Series Paper (DSP) collections on sale this month, you can celebrate as you celebrate! Even though there's the Zoo Crew DSP (on sale) that coordinates with my Zany Zoo bundle, I decided to go even more bold with the Bright & Beautiful DSP (also on sale).

Measurements

• Blueberry Bushel card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2")
• Bold & Beautiful DSP (stripes: 4" x 5-1/4" and 3/4" x 4", blue: 2-1/2" x 3-3/4")
• Basic White cardstock (2-5/8" x 3-7/8", 4" x 5-1/4", scrap for raccoon)

Directions

1. Stamp raccoon in Memento Black, then color with Blends. Die cut.
2. Adhere striped DSP panel to the Blueberry Bushel card base.
3. Adhere blue DSP panel to the smaller Basic White panel, then adhere that to the card base. 
4. Adhere raccoon to card front using dimensionals.
5. Stamp sentiment in upper right corner.
6. Add Pastel Adhesive Backed gems (pink).
7. For the inside, stamp sentiment as desired on larger Basic White layer.
8. Adhere small striped DSP strip to bottom of Basic White panel, then adhere the panel to the inside of the card.
9. Decorate envelope as desired with DSP scraps.
