Be Happy

Hi, it’s Gini, and I’m here to share I bright and cheerful card. It's simple, but striking. And, it's the perfect card for our challenge this week - Keep it Krafty. I hope you are playing along for your chance to win the weekly $20 CLD store credit - and this month's big prize, an eBosser! 

If you would like to make this card, here are the step-by-step instructions:

        4.  Die cut the top and bottom edges of a piece of Shocking Pink cardstock, using the Lady Kate Edger.

      5.  Mount the mesh border in the center.  Add ribbon between the diecut edge and the center mesh.
