Birthday Card For My Friend
My friend loves the beach and wildlife. So for her birthday card, I decided that this lovely bundle Lilypad Lake would be perfect. My friend Shannon is also a Stampin’ Up demonstrator. We love sharing ideas for cards and making them! She makes some of the most amazing scrapbook pages. She also has a blog.

Lilypad Lake Bundle
Did you know that when you buy the stamp set and frame lits together, you save 10%? Who wouldn’t want these serene and peaceful images in their stamp collection? It has really encouraging sentiments as well.
How To Get More Out of Your Punches
Here is a little tip to get a little more mileage out of your punches. To get the little frame for the happy birthday sentiment, punch a piece of Whisper White card stock using the Everyday Label Punch. This sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. Then trim off both edges of your piece of card stock using your paper trimmer.
Refer to Diagram 1 to show you what to trim off of your label. If you find that your label is moving around in your trimmer, hold it down with a piece of washi tape.
You can then stamp your sentiment in the middle using Grapefruit Grove Ink. The frame behind the sentiment is cut with a frame lit from the bundle.
The Rest of the Card
Stamp the heron and lily pad with Stazon ink on Whisper White card stock. Color the lily pad with the Stampin Write Markers. The background waves are stamped in Mint Macaron ink.
The grass is cut out 3 times from Call Me Clover card stock using the frame lit on your Big Shot. The heron and lily pad are popped up with stampin’ dimensionals.
