DARLING DONKEYS BIRTHDAY CARD!

 Hi, Friends,

It has been an interesting week so far.  Yesterday, Doyle and I were able to get our first COVID vaccines!  We are excited!  And they have FUN bandaids!  It was the very first time I have ever been congratulated on getting a shot!

Just wanted to share another project with you today.  This one uses the Darling Donkeys stamp set, which is one of the products you can get free with a $50 purchase for just another few days (through the end of February).  The Oh So Ombre DSP that I used is also a Sale-a-bration product, free with a $50 purchase.

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Darling Donkeys

     CARDSTOCK: 

          Smoky Slate:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

          Rococo Rose:  3-3/4 x 5

          Basic White:  3-1/2 x 4-3/4

          Oh So Ombre DSP:  3-1/4 x 4-1/2

               INSIDE:

                    Rococo Rose:  3-3/4 x 5

                    Basic White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

               SCRAPS:  Basic White, Smoky Slate

     INK:  Basic Gray

     BLENDS:  Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink

     ACCESSORIES:  Stitched Rectangle Dies, SU Die Cut Machine, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

I fussy cut the donkey; it took a couple of minutes, but since I wasn't making 10 or 12, it wasn't that bad!

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Basic Gray ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp donkey stamp on lower right corner of inside panel using Basic Gray ink.  Color the rose using Blends markers.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

3.  Adhere the Oh So Ombre DSP to the center of the Rococo Rose cardstock.  

4.  Use the Stitched Rectangle Dies and Stampin' Up! Die Cut Machine to cut window from the Basic White cardstock.  Adhere Basic White window over Oh So Ombre DSP on Rococo Rose cardstock.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

5.  Use Basic Gray ink to stamp donkey on scrap of Basic White cardstock.  Cut out using paper snips.  Adhere donkey to left side of Basic White window.

6.  Stamp sentiment on scrap of Smoky Slate cardstock using Basic Gray ink.  Cut out using Stitched Rectangle Dies and Stampin' Up! Die Cut Machine.  Attach to front of card stock using dimensionals (see sample for placement).  

7.  Add rhinestones to sentiment panel (see sample for placement).

Hope you have enjoyed today's project!  I have been creating a bit more lately, so plan to post another project very soon!

Have an awesome, creative day!

Happy stamping,

Linda
