Baby's First Birthday - Lollipop Card {How To}

Just a little quickie today, a card made to celebrate the first birthday of a sweet little daughter of a friend. My childhood friend came to visit this week, and we sat to make this together. My favorite time with friends is either in the kitchen or the craft room :)

HOW TO DO IT!  The lolly is super easy to make.  Punch coordinating circles with a circle punch, mine is a 1-1/4".  Layer them, overlapping slightly, onto a scrap circle of paper.  It helps to mark your middle point first, so all the circles are perfectly placed.  When you come around far enough that you meet the first circles, begin tucking the new circles behind them.  I tacked them in place lightly with Snail, and then glued them down tight with Tombo Multi glue when I was happy with the placement.  Add your details, and a lolly stick - HINT - I get my lollies from the bank, and cut off the sticks!  LOL

The center medallion is made by scoring a 3/4" x 10" strip of DSP in 1/8" increments. 

Most of the supplies used to make this card are retired stash - the Subtles DSP Paper Stack, Sweet Cakes and Patterned Party Stamp sets, and Pretty in Pink CS.  I made a few extra to customize for special occasions, like I did with this one.  The inside was typed up with a matching font from the front...

Have a blessed and creative day!  ~ Erika
