I must admit, that I started the card and came to a creative road block once the card base was sitting on my desk. I had all of the Happiness Is Project Life Accessory Pack sitting out and no clue what I wanted to do with any of it! So, I slept on it. Next day when I went downstairs to work, I put this card together in no time!
The card base is Tangerine Tango, the side die cut with a File Tab Edgelit. I added polka dots with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder. I can tell you right now that you will be seeing a lot of polka dots from me...I love this embossing folder!
Next, I had to decide on a sentiment. I went with the Thank You sentiments from Something to Say so I could break up the two parts in the word bubbles. The word bubbles were arranged in a group randomly, I just wanted it to be centered on the card. The white bubble is one of the Project Life accessories that was blank, I added the sentiment.
Now for the fun part of the card, my favorite part actually......
I used one of the PL accessories to make the a gift card holder! How fun! When I was initially looking at all the items in the accessory pack, these cute little holders got my attention. They are meant for photos or cute journal tags, but I saw a place to put a gift card.
Since this is a thank you card, I added "a little something" from Something to Say. I just didn't stamp the last part of the sentiment. My little trick is to use a piece of scotch tape to cover the words I don't want to stamp, ink the stamp then remove the tape. Works like a charm every time. You can check out this post for pictures of the process.
I had a blast using new items that don't necessarily go together...you should give it a try too!
Now, on to more details about Preview Day 3 of the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection 2014.
