A Belated Birthday Card

Here is another Dotty For You and Pun Fun card for my gift set I made!


This Pun Fun stamp set is so adorable! It has 6 stamps with a sentiment attached.

                     

I cut my sentiment apart from my stamp (YIKES!)  But that's OK, you can do that!  By doing so, I was able to place "Happy Belated Birthday" in a curved position on my stamp.   See the picture above.

I stamped my turtle onto Sweet Leaf cardstock and again on the Sweet Leaf Dotty For You Paper.  I cut out the dotted portion of the turtle and glued it to the Sweet Leaf cardstock turtle.

Next, I added Stardust Gitz Glitter Gel to his birthday hat!

Recipe:
4 1/4" x 5 1/2" White Daisy Card
Dotty For You Paper (Retired)
Pun Fun Stamp - C1505
Black Cardstock - 1386
Buttons - Mini Medley Accents Black Collection Z1393
Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel - Z1313

I'm entering this card into the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.   I used the sketch as vertical.

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
