Isn't this a fun, fresh and preppy card! Square cards are my favorites…just getting a different size card makes me feel special! This card is a 5" X 5" size and making a custom envelope was a cinch! My daughter Hannah needed a special card so I whipped up this fun one for her!

I am in awe with all of the wonderful comments I received on my blog for the Blog Candy post yesterday! You all make me hungry!

Remember you can leave me a message up until 5 p.m. today to get a chance to win these super cute Birthday Cards! I will email everyone that left a comment the instructions for making the box!

Now to today's card! I totally realize that using a monogram in this fashion will not work for everyone but I wanted to show you something different…and I will say, I do use and find this Bigz Die, Typeset Alphabet a true winner when I use it!

The other item that I wanted to focus on and something that most likely you forget about as well is the Coaster Board. Now that we have so many great dies…this is a great way to add a layer in instant dimension!(click on the picture to see the depth)

TIP ALERT – I always adhere my paper to the Coaster Board with the multipurpose glue before I ran it through Mr. Big Shot!

The Scallop Circle Bigz Die created the fun back ground in garden green and then with the help of the circle framelits…the backdrop of the card started to come to life!

Because the letters are all the same size…I "fudged" it stretching the "I" a bit bigger and covered it up with the Boho Blossom Punches and then adorned them with a classic pearl!

Having the super fun Polka Dot Parade as the backdrop and also the liner for the envelope puts and instant smile on your face! Polka Dots, balloons,smiley faces and chocolate (dark) always make me smile!

The envelope came together like a breeze and thanks to my upline, Mary Fish, she generously has provided us (click here) the way to make our own beauties! With the help of the diagonal scoring plate this is a cinch!

To add an extra touch to this envelope, I punched a flower out with the Blossom Punch and then stamped the fun and fresh flower image from the hostess stamp set, Happy Flowers!
