SC158 Blossom Birthday Kickstand

I have never tried a kick stand card so I eagerly made one after seeing this weeks sketch challenge on SCS. The site is realy wonky today So I cant get a link to add right now but I will fix that later. Kirsten Dubosque is the creater of the kickstand card and her blog..."confessions of a Naptime Stamper is a favorite of mine to visit. There is a link in my sidebar.


I need a few Birthday cards in the next few days, 6 to be exact so I thought I would start working on them.
I used GP white cardstock for the base and some scrap DP SU petals and paisley for the bottom. I used a slot tool punch to scallop the edge and then reversed the one piece and added to the top of the scalloped strip to make the Bottom section o fthe card and tied a Turquoise grograin ribbon from a microspool I got at Walmart. I used SU Old Olive to Emboss with my Birthday Folder in my Cuttlebug. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do in the center of my scallops I was going to do a cupcake, but opted instead to do pink flowers becasue My friend is so into "PINK". THe image is stamped on Watercolor paper in Basic Grey, and then I used my Watercolor Wonder Crayons from SU to paint them. I matted with a small piece of Barley Banana and a Scalloped Circle in Pretty in Pink. these were all cut out with my Cricut using Minnie Monograms...
The two white brads are from my supplie of Queen Co. "Making Waves" sprinkle brads which are sadly runnning very low. I show two different images of this card because if I stood it up to show the Kickstand you would miss the detail on the back flap. SO I included another to show the kickstand effect of the card. Its a fun layout.

Until later.....Happy Stamping!
