✨ Here is the finished card from today’s What’s Up Wednesday! ✨

This is a 5½” x 5½” square card featuring the beautiful Aviary Collection from Simply Stated Designs. 🐦💕

For the layers, I cut the patterned paper down to 5¼” x 5¼” and used two coordinating pieces of patterned paper.

For the top piece, I centered a circle die and cut a circle right in the middle. Then came the fun part—tucking in all the different ephemera pieces to create the finished design! 🥰

I used a combination of foam adhesive and glue to give the elements a little dimension and keep everything securely in place.

I love how this one turned out! What do you think? 💜✂️

📏 Card Measurements:
• Card base: 8.5” x 5.25”, scored at 2.75” and 6.75”
• Secret slider cardstock: 4.25” x 3.75”
• On the 3.75” side, score at 3/8”

✨ Welcome to Messy Magic Friday! ✨

Today we’re getting a little creative and diving into art journaling! 🎨📖

We’ll be creating two pages in my art journal using the absolutely dreamy Dressed in Daydreams Collection from Uniquely Creative. 💜✨

I have to admit… I’ve been very neglectful of my art journal lately! 😂 I signed up for an art journaling class way back in April, and it’s definitely time I got moving on it!

So, today we’re jumping back in, getting messy, having fun, and letting the creativity flow. 💕🎨

I hope you’ll join me and enjoy today’s Messy Magic Friday!
