I created the birthday koala card using the following supplies:

Gray Granite card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side

Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White – 2¾” by 1”
Poppy Parade – 2¾” by ⅛”

I stamped the sweet koala with Basic Gray ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card.

The image was coloured using the Barely Blush, Gray Granite, Smoky Slate and Basic Black. The panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer before being added to the Gray Granite card front on Dimensionals.

The party hat was stamped on scrap Basic White card. I coloured the pom-pom and added stripes with a Poppy Parade Blends Pen and fussy cut the hat out. I glued it to the head of the koala.

Supplies used:

Today I am sharing a card made for a lovely lady who is struggling with ill health. I used the Count on Me stamp set to make the card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Koala Hugs card, you will need

Rich Razzleberry card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left and lower right corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”– rounded upper left and lower right corner
Design a Daydream dsp – 5½” by 1⅛” x 3
Rich Razzleberry – 3” by 3”
Blushing Bride – 2 ½” by 2 ½”
Basic White card – 2 ¼” by 2 ¼”
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left and lower right corner

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the strips of Design a Daydream designer series paper to the largest piece of Basic White card, leaving a small gap between each strip. The panel was then adhered to the Rich Razzleberry card base.
