• Cut a piece of SU! Basic Black Cardstock to 4-1/4" x 11".  Score and fold at 5-1/2".
• Cut a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock to 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" and run through the Big Shot in a Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
• Cut a piece of Black and Vanilla Polka Dot Patterned Paper using the Large Scallop Edgelit Die.  This paper is from SU! Modern Medley Designer Series Paper.  Attach to the Vanilla Piece.
• Adhere the Vanilla/Polka Dot piece to the card front.
• Using a 1-3/8" Circle Punch, punch out 4 circles using two different polka dot patterns from Modern Medley DSP.
• Cut 4 circles from Basic Black Cardstock using the #8 Circle from the Circle Framelits Dies (counting outside to inside.)

• This flower was created using the Blossom Flower Punch and Real Red Cardstock.
• 3 Flowers were punched, separated using the Faux Suede Technique, spritzed with Vanilla Smooch Spritz and then hole punched with a Paper Piercing Tool.  A Silver Mini Brad was used to attach all the pieces together.  They were scrunched and then a Zig Stella Glitter Pen was used to add a touch of glitter to the edges of the flower.  It was attached to one of the circles with Glue Dots.

• "Thinking of You" from the Express Yourself Stamp Set was stamped in Real Red Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool.
• The edge was banner cut using a Hexagon Punch.  (You could use a square punch or scissors as well)
