I used Marine Mist cardstock for the card base, & patterned paper to decorate. I punched along the upper short panel with the "Scallop Sentiment" border punch.
I stamped the frog onto a scrap of bristol paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I colored it with my Tombow markers. I die cut the frog with 2-1/4" circle die, & die cut a mat from pink cardstock with a 2-3/8" circle die. I also stamped the present on a 1" circle I'd punched from bristol paper, and colored it with my markers. I die cut a 1-1/8" pink cardstock circle for the mat.
I use a 1-1/2" circle die to cut the hole in my card base. After I adhered the patterned paper on the front lower flap, I glued my matted focal circle within the opening, adding the glue only to the bottom area of the circle. I adhered the present circle with foam tape over the edge of the top flap, as per the tutorial instructions. Finally, I stamped the greeting on the upper flap.
For the inside of the card, I cut a 4" square of cream cardstock, & added a 1" tall border of patterned paper to the bottom edge. I masked off the border strip with a piece of Post It tape, & stamped the balloon & inside sentiment. I stamped the balloon again onto bristol paper, colored it, & fussy cut it out. To finish, I glued the colored balloon over the stamped on on the inside of the card.
