Simple Stems "Fuzzies" Card - Modified Case

I saw a card made by a fellow demonstrator over at Confessions of a stamping addict and HAD to make it.   Don't these guys remind you of "Fuzzies"???   SO CUTE!!!  

I made a few modifications to the original card, but LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.  This is perfect for a child's birthday and you can modify for either gender.   The card uses the Simple Stems stamp set from the Occasional Catalog (C-133101 or W- 133098). 

  

Here is the original card:

Banner Blast - FMS123

Decided to play along with the Sketch Challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.   I wanted to do something different and "out of my box".   Not sure if I am in love with my card, but wanted to share it with you.   

The cardfront was covered in the Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape (Occasional Catalog #133000 $4.95).  I than took the Banner Punch from the Sale-a-brations Catalog and punched it three (3) times.   Next I embossed three (3) images from the Banner Blast Stamp Set (Sale-a-brations catalog) in Gold Embossing powder, punched them out and mounted them on the cardfront with a dimensional.   I wrapped the Gold Sequin Trim around the "washi tape cardstock".  I than mounted the Washi Tape cardfront onto a Gold Foil Sheet with dimensionals which was adhered to a Very Vanilla Cardbase.  

I hope you enjoy my project!

Saw this folding/punching technique on Pinterest and knew I had to try it.   Click here to view the video tutorial.   Please note you will have to adjust the scoring for US measurements -- score at 4 1/4" as you would to make a standard A2 card.  

This will definitely be making an appearance at a future class of mine!  What a special card to make and send to someone!  

Love the saying on the front of the card?   I do. . . . it's from the Starburst Sayings set from the Occasional Catalog.   You can save 15% if you were to buy the stamp set with the coordinating framelits (Wood #134817 $44.95 or Clear #134818 $38.95)
