You Rock

Honestly, I wasn't planning to order this Adventure Bound Paper Stack, but seeing so many cute ways to use it, I finally gave in.  Maybe I just needed to get past Valentine's and Easter, who knows! 

Now that I have it, here is my first card and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with it.  When you see rocks, the only possible thing to say on the card is "you rock", right?  So, that's what I did!
 

This could be a birthday card, thank you card, or just a you are awesome card.  It all depends on what goes inside, right?
 

I went with two different sizes on the Basic Black mat.  One I cut 1/4" bigger and the other 1/8" bigger.  I think I like the bigger border better, which do you prefer? 

 
The Adventure Bound DSP Stack is 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" so I cut it in half at 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" and then made the Basic Black mats 4 5/8" x 3 3/8" and the other 4 3/4" x 3 1/2".

The corners were rounded with the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch.

Very simple!

Would you like a tip about how to adhere the "you" without having your liquid glue ooze out all over?

Here's my tip.  Sparingly apply little dots of the Tombo Liquid Glue to the back of the letters.  Instead of immediately placing it on your card, let it sit for a few minutes.  The first time you do it, you'll want to do it right away, but trust me... WAIT.  Then when you do turn it over and put it on your card, pick it up with your tweezers and gently press it down.  The glue will have set up a bit and won't be oozing and wet.  Perfection!
