C ute thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Highland Heather Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/8" x 5-1/8" of multi-colored dots on white background design from Cute Halloween 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/8" x 3-1/8" from Highland Heather Cardstock

Mount the "You're The Best" sentiment from the Party Puffins Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad and stamp it in the lower right corner of the vertical white rectangle.
Adhere the dotted designer paper strip to the left side of the stamped, vertical white rectangle leaving a small amount of white showing on the left, top, and bottom edges.
Adhere the white rectangle to the front of the Highland Heather card.
Mount the puffin with a party hat image from the Party Puffins Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining, vertical white rectangle.
Put the stamped puffin on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends to color in the interior stripe on the puffin's beak and two of the dots on his party hat.
Use the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the puffin's beak and his feet and legs and to outline his eye.
Use the Dark and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the dots on the puffin's party hat.
Use the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the bottom of the puffin's party hat.
Use the Light Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color in the pompom at the top of the puffin's party hat.
Adhere the stamped and colored puffin rectangle to the center of the Highland Heather rectangle.
Adhere the matted puffin rectangle to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and is about 5/8" from the top.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large Highland Heather star from the sheet of Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the pompom at the top of the puffin's party hat.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two small Highland Heather stars from the sheet of Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card around the sentiment.
