Yum Donuts!

 Hello Friends

The new Strawberries and Bees release has so many fun dies including two of my favorite things coffee and donuts!!!  I am using both of these items which come on one die called Strawberry Treats 3.

Here is my card for today!

Design Steps:

1.  Cut out all of the pieces using the Strawberry Treats 3 die and the following card stock: red, pink, white, tan, green, dark and brown.  Shade with inks and a fine tip applicator then assemble

2.  Cut a rectangle that will fit all of the donuts in white and then glue the donuts to the white rectangle

3.  For the card base use a white 6 1/4 x 4 1/4, cut a piece of brown dotted DP 6 1/8 x 4 1/8 and also cut 3 Pierced Wide Rectangle Frames 2 in white and one in light brown (which I forgot to put in the picture!)

4.  Glue the brown dotted DP to the white card base.  Glue the donuts to the front of the card as shown.  I added some metal tags spelling yum

5.  Glue the 3 frames together placing the light brown one on top.  Then add dimension tape to the frame and pop it to the card.  Final step is to add the coffee cup with a little dimension tape on one side and glue on the other

Here is my card for today using the new release die Flowers and a fancy fold.  The idea for the fancy fold design is from Sharon Hashimoto Burkert.  I just loved her card so I had to give it a try.

Design Steps:

1.  For the fancy fold part of the card use a piece of black card stock 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 3", 5 1/2", 8", 9 1/2"

2.  The base of the card is a piece of black card stock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and white card stock embossed with a honey comb 4" x 5 1/4".  The decorative pieces for the fancy fold are as follows: two pieces cut at 1 1/4" x 4" (black checked and butterfly paper) one at 2 1/4" x 4" (teal flower paper) one at 1/2" x 4" (yellow checked) and white cut at 2 1/4" x 4" and 2 3/4" x 4".  The belly band is black 1 1/2" x 9 1/2"

3.  Glue the white honey comb card stock to the black base, glue the butterfly paper to the first flap, next is the black checked DP, 3rd panel is the teal flower DP, next two panels are the white and finally next to the white on the last panel add the strip of yellow checked DP

4.  Fold your fancy fold piece and glue it to the card base and then place the belly band around the card and glue the band together

5.  Using the Flowers die cut out 3 of the Daisies in white, 3 centers in yellow, and 4 leaves in green.  Assemble the flowers using a fine tip glue.  Using the 2nd from the smallest Scalloped Oval cut it out in yellow.  Using the 2nd from the smallest Pierced Oval cut it out in white.  Stamp the right side of the white oval with Happy Birthday and then glue to the yellow oval

6.  Place your belly band around the card and glue down the sentiment oval to the right on the band.  Glue one of the flowers just below the belly band and the other two flowers on the belly band as shown in the pictures above and below.  Stamp the inside of your card and it is complete
