Distress the edges of this paper also with the paper-distressing tool. Adhere all the matting papers to the card base with double sided tape or clear drying glue. The card front is adhered with 3d foam tape or double dots. With the orange / yellow design paper make a matting a little larger than the calendar, ink it with wild honey distress ink. Adhere this paper and the calendar to the right side of the card foot. Embellish the card front to the left of the calendar with plumerias and leaves, keeping in mind you need to be able to tear the calendar months away as the year goes on.

Instructions: Click here to see a closeup view of the card set. One of the great things about Heartfelt Creations collections is how easy it is to make a stunning card in very little time using only the paper collection. Here are three cards created using only the Tropical Paradise Paper Collection. Simply choose a panel you like and trim the outer edge off. Then mix and match the papers until you find a combination you like. Create a 6" x 6" card base and add a background DP. Back your trimmed panel with card stock and pop it up on the card base. For this type card, use two layers of chipboard rather than dimensional foam. It gives a firmer platform for the panel and a more professional look. Trim out a matching sentiment from the paper pack, back it with card stock and chipboard and mount that to the card as well. Leave them as they are or add embellishments if you like.

Instructions: Diecut 4 coffee cup card bases from the white card stock making sure you position the die right off the folded card edge so that you have a cup shaped card base.
Stamp 2 coffee cups in black ink onto pink cardstock and 2 in black ink onto white cardstock and diecut with matching die. Color in the flowers and cup design with the Blick marker. From the Sunrise Lily paper collection, cut out the sentiment that reads, "To a Beautiful You," I added a sparkly flat back bead on one end and attached it to each of the cups. Adhere each cup to the cup card base and embellish with the flat pearls and stickles.
I made some matching envelopes using white 5.25 x 5.25" squares of white cardstock using the Memory Keepers envelope maker. Check Youtube for DIY videos. On the front of the envelopes I stamped I LOVE YOU A LATTE using the cling stamps mentioned above. That's it... you're done.
