You Always Make Me Smile

Hey Y'all!!! Teresa here again with another fabulous stamp set and die called Lovable Pandas from the new Lovable Collection at Ink N' Splatter. She is so cute. Just want to squeeze those cheeks. Be sure to go take a look at the new release including stamps, dies & paper packs from Ink N' Splatter today. All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

Here are the links for both the Stamp & Die sets:
  

I started by making the card base from a beautiful Pear Pizzazz card stock that matched the patterned paper and her little outfit perfectly. The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 on the long side. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the fold.

I cut a piece of melon mambo at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 and used a corner rounder to round the top two corners to match the curve of the arch. It's glued down flat with wet glue. I cut several pieces of patterned paper and silver paper with the same arch die and inserted them in the open windows to give the card a little fun. I cut some random pieces of blushed bride and silver paper with the dashed circle and tabs border just for more dimension. You can glue them flat or pop them up with foam tape, your choice. The patterned paper pack has so many beautiful Valentine colors and designs. Make sure you get one for yourself. The patterned paper also comes in a slimline pack.

Here is the link for the paper pack:

I cut some greenery using the small leaf die and glued it with wet glue on top of the silver mirrored paper in one of the windows.

The sweet little panda is popped up with foam tape on top of the silver mirror paper in the right window. She is just so freakin' cute. Makes me smile.

     

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. There are seven great sentiments to choose from. I cut it out with one of the stitched dies and set it at an angle. It's popped up with foam tape.

Last thing I added some little dots. Why? Well because I can of course.

Who makes you smile?
