If you have come here from Michele's Blog,

you are on the right path.

This paper pack is AWESOME with so many different "types" 

of papers to play with.

I used the Red UV-Coated piece (the dotted piece) 

as the main backdrop for my card.

Then I layered a piece of Gold Foil Polka-Dot Print Vellum over the top.

The Stamp Set was from the May Stamp of the Month Set -- 

You've Got a Friend (S1405).

I stamped on top of the Red Patterned Paper first, and then stamped it a second time on Blush Cardstock and trimmed it.

I popped it up giving it dimension using our 3-D Foam Tape.

Just for fun I added mini-borders using Ruby Cardstock 

and our Scallop Border Punch.

Using a Paper Hole-Puncher I punched out three gold dots from the Gold Glitter Shimmer Trim that is exclusively found in the Ivy Lane Cardmaking Workshop on the Go Kit.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE glitter shimmer trim so decided to make a little bow using it as well.

I cut out 2 x 1" inch strips and then used glue dots to adhere them.

The acrylic flower in the center is from the Ivy Lane Assortment.

This is going to be the card my daughter gives her Kindergarten Teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week along with the cute Back-Pack I made using the same May SOTM Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed my little project.

Now "Hop" on over to Pam's Blog to see her work.
