~  Adhere the corners of the colorful floral sheet to the Old Olive (both cut to 4" x 5-1/4").
~  Die-Cut the JOY from the Large Letters Framelits** on the Big Shot and Magnetic Platform, (I did go forward and back to assure it die-cut through the two layers of paper).

A friend and stamper of mine asked me for some help... he's deployed and it's a touch stressful.  He feels alone.  Knowing my passion for soldiers and their families, our Getting Crafty Family jumped aboard this need and a good handful are creating cards to send to this young man.  A kind word, a bit of love and beauty wrapped up in a card.. it's the small things that can genuinely bless others in a big way.  See our Soldier Care posts as we, monthly, support deployed troops with handmade cards and care packages (national recognized, written up in newspapers, and Stampin' Up!'s publications).  Celebrate life with me and our fun 365 Reasons to Celebrate crafting posts.
