Order this bundle by February 28th and get a FREE Sale-a-bration item! 


This card has a 3 part opening that reveals these cute little friends who just happen to like playing in the rain. The front has the cute turtle. 



Open in once and you see the clear sky and flowers. 


Open again and see the little fox with his umbrella. 


Last open reveals the happy bunny surrounded by flowers and with a place to write on the right side. 


All of these cute friends were die cut from the Rain or Shine SPECIALITY Designer Series Paper. What makes this paper so special...it has the look of being embossed. The clouds, rain drops, the outlines of the animal friends all have a "shine" to them that makes it just stunning with very little effort. Be sure to watch my video for more details and to get a closer look.

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Backless Ribbon


Tuesday's Tip at Ten!

Don't waste your ribbon by wrapping it around the whole back. Cut 1/2 to 1 inch longer than the piece of paper and attach the ends to the back with Tear Tape or Seal+. This also helps it lay flat with ease. 
 

Here is my card from my Penny Crafter Tutorials collection using the Country Bouquet Stamp Set! 


Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
