Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a super cute and easy notecard using products from the January-June Mini and the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog For my project today I created a note card to share with someone that maybe getting married, or maybe they are going through something, or maybe they just need a little encouragement. These little notecards are perfect for all those occasions you may run into. I picked one of my favorite Sentiment sets and one of my favorite Designer series papers for this project. Here's a look at the notecard.

I used the Bird Ballad designer series paper and the So Sentimental Bundle for my project today. I love the fun spring feel of the designer series paper. I am really feeling the spring-fever right now, as you may have noticed from my projects as of late. And, the Bird Ballad Designer series paper helps kind of curves the I am Ready for Spring feeling I've got going on. I wanted to showcase the big sentiment from the So Sentimental Stamp Set so I keep the card really simple in design. Just a little designer series paper and a few colored rhinestones. Which by the way I colored with my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend.

My note card was cut from a piece of thick whisper white cardstock which measures 4" x 10 1/2" and I scored it at 5 1/4" to make the top folding note card. I actually did this by accident I thought was cutting down two pieces of whisper white for another project but learned after I had it cut that it was a Thick Whisper White Card base; I think it all worked out because I adore the card that it made. The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper was cut to fit the entire front of the card. I used another piece that I had cut down for the center of the card to add a little color interest plus to help ground the sentiment. I also added a little strip to the inside of the card to make everything tie in.

After all the designer series paper was attached I stamped my sentiment onto a scrap of the thick whisper white cardstock in Daffodil Delight ink and used the matching dies from the bundle to cut it out. The So Sentimental Bundle includes the So Sentimental Stamp Set and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
