Hey everybody! Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I’m delighted to share that one of my projects was a ‘Top Cut’ several weeks ago over at Cut It Up Challenges, and the lovely Larelyn invited me to guest design for an upcoming challenge, so here I am! The theme for Challenge #281 is Hello Sunshine, and I created an adorable card featuring the You Are My Sunshine stamps and dies from Prickley Pear Stamps! This was a fun one and went together seamlessly!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with a layering panel from Cougar 80# White cardstock. I inked the layering panel with the My Favorite Things Mini Cloud Stencil and Ranger stormy sky distress ink, and added a strip of Eyelet Outlet grass washi tape across the bottom. I stamped the sun from the Prickley Pear Stamps You Are My Sunshine stamp set on a yellow striped pattern paper in the Keep It Simple Lemon 12×12 Collection, and cut it with the coordinating Prickley Pear Stamps You Are My Sunshine die. Then I stamped the curved sentiment from the same stamp set under the sun. I stamped the little flower duo on a scrap piece of Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating die as well.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and embellished it with strips of yellow patterned paper from the Keep It Simple Lemon Collection Pack and a leftover strip of the Cougar cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps You Are My Sunshine stamp set and layered the panel on a coordinating yellow print.
