Happy Friday dear friends. Today I'm participating in a blog hop brought to you by Glue dots and Pink & Main Stamps. I had fun working with the Pink & Main stamps and papers and adhering them with Glue dots adhesive makes for a fun, stress free cardmaking session.

“ConGRADulation Wishes” card
Designed by: Grace Tolman
Time: About 30 minutes
Level: Intermediate
Size: 5 ½ x 4 ¼”
Notes: When I saw the cute owl image, I couldn’t resist. And adding some Glue Dots® adhesive enabled me to add some extra “gift” to this handmade card.
Materials
• Cardstock- (white) Core’dinations; (Maroon) Die Cuts With a View
• Pattern papers- Take Flight, 6x6 pad, Pink & Main
Tools:
• Glue Lines, Glue Dots®
• Pop Up, Glue Dots®
• Spray adhesive- Tacky Spray, Aleene’s
• Ink- Black, Hybrid, My Favorite Things
• Stamp- Grad Owl, Pink & Main
• Die cuts- Wishes die, PNM086, Pink & Main
• Manual die cut machine- CuttleBug, Provo Craft
• Circle Punch- ½” Marvy Uchida
• Markers- Spectrum Noir
• Mist- Maya Road
• Paper Trimmer
• Scissors
Directions:
1. Cut the white 8 ½ x 11” in half lengthwise. Fold one piece into an A2 top folding size card.
2. Use the other piece to stamp the owl and the sentiment. Mask the “s” in the ConGRADulations sentiment before inking and stamping the sentiment onto the white cardstock.
3. Color the owl with alcohol markers. Cut out the image leaving some of the white edge. Spray the image with the glimmer mist and set aside to dry.
4. Measure your gift card and cut out a piece of pattern paper 1 ½” larger in width than the card. Using a bone folder fold the paper around the card. Punch out a half circle on the center of the pocket. Adhere the overlapping edge with some Glue Lines, Glue Dots® adhesive.
5. Run the silhouette part of the “wishes” die cut through the Cuttlebug machine and a pattern paper. Cut the “wishes” word onto the maroon cardstock three times.
6. Spray the back side of the 3 “wishes” cut out with tacky spray. Layer the cuts on top of each other to create the dimensional word. And adhere to the silhouette cut.
7. Cut out a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of pattern paper and adhere to the card front using Glue Lines, Glue Dots® adhesive.
8. Adhere the back side of the gift card pocket onto the card front at an angle using more Glue Lines, Glue Dots® adhesive.
9. Adhere the “wishes” sentiment on the bottom part of the card with more Glue Lines, Glue Dots® adhesive.
10. Add the sentiment strip onto the top part of the “wishes” layered paper with some Glue Lines, Glue Dots® adhesive.
11. Adhere the owl image with a combination of the Glue Lines, Glue Dots® and Pop Up Glue Dots® adhesives.
12. Stamp the “So proud of you!” sentiment onto the inside of the card.
