A big congrats to Brenda, the newest Featured Stamper! What a super gallery & such a super nice lady! I chose THIS card of hers to case. I kept the pocket w/ insert & birthday theme, but I used different images, different colors & I left off the cute kitty in her picture.
I made a crossover pocket card (it doesn't open), with an insert for the greeting. I had this green dp with flowers & glittered centers and I thought it would work well for the front of the pocket. I added a mottled orange dp & borders of the die cut Daisy Border. I used a portion of the Daisy Garden die for the faux belt across the front & added a glitter die cut buckle to finish the belt.
For the insert, I used a white die cut panel & cut the top off in order to add the Celebrate die cut on top. It was cut 4 times...2 sets of 2 glued together, then the panel sandwiched between the 2 sets. The cute little Daisy was stamped, colored & fussy cut it. After attaching it, I stamped the Special Day greeting over it & the big Happy Birthday below it. A couple of orange die cut corners were added to the lower edge.
Congrats again, Brenda! And a Happy Memorial Day! Closeups, measurements & detailed pics are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Pretty, love all the die cuts and dps on the card. Fun colors and the celebrate on the top is a fun addition. Where's the cat? (or bird in your case...)

So many charming details, Julie. Love the cheery orange daisy and delightful little orange corners as well as all the dainty lacy touches. That trim on the criss cross is amazing.
