Frolick Again, Froggies!
Here’s another favorite set to bid ‘Farewell’! I’ve been wanting to use this frog again, so when I received a special card from my sweet friend, Sharon Harnist, I knew her layout would be great for the froggie’s farewell. Thanks to you, Sharon!
It’s such an easy layout to reproduce! My Barely Banana card base is actually a 4 1/4″ square, so cut the cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 8.5″, then fold in half. The Stampin’ Up! Petals & Paisleys paper was cut at 4″ square. See! Easy peasy! The image & image layers are really up to you. Mine are: Smallest = 2 & 3/8″ x 3 & 1/4″; Middle layer = 2 & 1/2″ x 3 & 3/8″; Largest = 2 & 5/8″ x 3 & 1/2″. Because I wanted to be able to enclose it in a standard envie for A2 cards, I merely laid the bottom edge of the card at the 5.5″ line on my SU Grid Paper, then lined up the top of the image layer just below the 0″ ruler line to create an overall length of about 5.5″. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be using this with next week’s stamping group! “Surprise” to my stampers!
Supplies for my card were: Stampin’ Up! cardstock: Barely Banana, Pixie Pink, DS Paper Petals & Paisleys, plus watercolor paper. Ribbon by May Arts, purchased from Cindy at Starlitstudio’s store (see my shopping link!). Inks: Stazon Timber Brown, and Stampin’ Up! Barely Banana, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Mellow Moss, Old Olive, Pixie Pink, & So Saffron. Accessories: SU AquaPainter, Dimensionals, Sakura Glaze Black, Sakura Stardust

Great card and instructions!! It does sound easy, peasy…just my style! I’m printing it off to give it a try. This might be perfect for my stamp club this month! Great tip to use the gridline paper too, I never think to use it for measuring! doh!
