Kat's Card

This card is a simple and fun card to make.

1. Die cut 2 circles using the Wizard Nestabilities Die Set- Circle with red cardstock. I wanted the top of the apple to overlap a little with the bottom so cut one circle a little more than 1/2 for the bottom and cut the second circle for the top - eyeball so that it overlaps the bottom. Punch holes in the top and bottom and attach with a brad (with stem).

2. Die cut 1 scallop square using the Wizard Nestabilities Die Set-Scallop Square.

3. Die cut branch, leaves, and heart with Sizzix Scribbles #7. Don't have this die? Not to worry .... Create another design with rubber stamps, stickers, or a computer generated image.

4. Stamp and color Penny Black Hedgehog.

5. Stamp Happy Birthday. I attached the Happy Birthday text on a cord and glued it down and used the heart to hide the top of the cord. I made another card and stamped the word SMILE directly on the blue square.

6. Assemble - Attach scallop square to the card. Position and attach Hedgehog in the apple so that the top covers the hedgehog when 'closed'. Attach apple (with hedgehog) to card, making sure to attach the apple bottom only. Embellish card with your choice of design.
