Hey Crafters! Katelyn here, sharing with you my Something Special Is Happening Card.
To create my Something Special Is Happening Card, I’ve used a variety of dies and stamps from Suzanne Cannon as well as dies from Joset Designs. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my card at home.

Step One. You’ll need to choose two pieces of coordinating patterned paper. Die cut a 4″ Fitted Indented Square out of one of the patterned papers. Die cut a 3 1/2″ Fitted Indented Square out of the other patterned paper. Ink the edges of both squares using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
