“Miss You” by Helen Croft

1. Cut a 12”x4.5”piece from yellow cardstock.
2. Fold it so that one side is 1” shorter than the other.
3. Cut a 4.5”x5.25” piece from Cosmo Cricket Something New patterned paper; this will be the background on the card.
4. Cut a 4.5”x1.5” piece from cardstock or patterned paper.  This will make the scalloped border.
5. Use a punch, decorative scissors or a template to make the scalloped border.  Glue it to the background paper so that it measures 6.5”.
6. Cut a 3” square from Cosmo Cricket Something Old patterned paper (yellow side).
7. Cut a 3.25” square from Cosmo Cricket Something New patterned paper (gray side).  The smaller square will be glued on top of this one, so the bigger one will show just a tiny bit.
8. Glue the squares to the center of the background paper.
9. Glue a ribbon straight over where the background patterned paper and scalloped border meet.  Fold behind and glue.
10. Cut another piece from the ribbon, about 4-5” and make a bow around the straight ribbon, trim the ends.
11. For the flowers, I used the Cricut, but you can use any die cutting tool, punch, or hand cut the flowers.  Cut different shapes and sizes and layer them.  There is no right or wrong.
12. Finish off with ink, doodling, or stickles if you wish.  Also, I like to bend the flower up for added dimension.  Attach the flowers.
13. Last, glue the whole background paper to the card on the shorter side.  The scalloped border will show on the inside of the card.

“I Promise” by Jenn Emch

1. Build this layout on the yellow and grey floral Cosmo Cricket paper.
2. Cut a 12×6 piece of the grey Cosmo Cricket paper and adhere. I used a border punch on both ends to get the scalloped edge.

3. Cut the saying “I promise to love you forever” from the Cosmo Cricket Borders paper and adhere to middle of grey paper.

4. To make flowers I used a flower punch. I punched two flowers from the Cosmo Cricket paper, placed a pop up dot between the two flowers and stuck one of the Maya Road stick pins through the pop up tape. Then I used a Jenni Bowlin pearl flower in the middle.

5. I matted my photo on the yellow cardstock in the kit and placed three of the Pink Paislee brads in the bottom right edge.
6. I used a Jenni Bowlin label sticker to journal.
