Hello Fellow Stampers ~~
Happy Hump Day!!! It's the Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop Day ~~ and as we're getting back to a regular rhythm here, much as earlier last year, we're emulating the topic, but not participating in the actual "Hop" itself. Hope you all are okay with that!! It just gives me a little more freedom with my blog in general. We may "re-join" the Pals Team in the future -- so it may not ALWAYS be "not in the blog hop." Stay tuned ~ LOL 😁

This pretty little card includes a fair amount of "fussy cutting" - but don't panic!! It's really a lot easier than it looks!
The card base for this card is Rich Razzleberry, cut 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4", with a lovely piece of designer paper from the Dainty Flowers collection cut at 4-1/8" x 5-3/8", for the background.
Then I used the wonderful sheet of "oval" flowers (6 on the sheet), and fussy cut around that oval (leaving the center intact).
I cut a background for my oval using the Scalloped Contours Dies, and popped that up on the front of the card - you can't see it, but there is actually a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon wrapped around the die panel before the flowers were attached.
The sentiment is from the new Happy Labels stamp set, stamped in Rich Razzleberry classic ink on Basic White cardstock, and die cut using the label you'll find tucked in the Pretty Pillowbox Dies. This too was popped with dimensionals, and pretty little Fresh Freesia bow attached with a glue dot on the end.
Finally, I fussy cut a beautiful flower stalk from another piece of this gorgeous designer paper, and attached it at the opposite end of my tag.
A few Pastel Pearls, and little Clear Wink of Stella on that flower stalk, and this card is ready to go!!
Don't you love how pretty this is? And all done with that gorgeous paper!!
I finished off the inside with Fresh Freesia and Basic White panels, a strip of leftover paper from the front of the card - and another wonderful "fussy cut" flower from the designer paper. This card is ready for a wonderful note to your BFF!!
I hope you feel inspired, and even feel a little bit of Spring coming . . . somewhere!! LOL
We'll be back soon with more Sale-A-Bration fun!!!

Hugs, . . .
