3. Cut a 2 3/4” x 6 1/2” strip of pink polka-dot paper and place 7/8” down from the top of the aqua paper, glue into place.
    
4. Cut 1/2” x 6 1/2” and 1/2” x 2” strips of the multi-colored striped paper. Arrange shorter strip at the top of the pink polka-dot paper and the longer strip at the bottom, glue into place. Use image for placement.
    
5. Using a hole punch, create three circles out of the multi-colored striped paper. Place circles next to the shorter strip.
    
6. Cut a 1 1/2” x 2” rectangle from the striped paper. Stamp with “find joy in the little things.” Glue to an olive green tag and embellish tag with a light blue grosgrain ribbon and a pink rhinestone brad. Affix to the top corner of the design layout.
    
7. Stamp a piece of pink card stock with the “Bubble Queen”stamp. Using colored pencils lightly color the stamped image. Cut around the perimeter of the stamp leaving a 1/4” border. Glue pink stamped paper on top of olive green card stock and glue. Cut around the perimeter of the pink leaving about a 1/4” border. Angle and glue to the bottom of the design layout.
    
8. Stamp or free-hand the words “Spa Day Fund” on the pink polka-dotted paper.
    
9. Finish the front by stamping a flower in the upper left and lower right hand corners of the design layout.

1. Cut two 10” x 1 3/4” strips (side panels) from the pink flower paper and two 2 1/2” x 1 3/4” strips (top panel) from the multi-colored striped paper. These will act as the side and top panels for the bank.
    
2. Cut one 7 3/4” x 1 3/4” strip of aqua card stock and one 7 3/4” x 1 3/4” strip of olive green card stock. Place smaller strips on top of the larger strips and glue into place. Embellish with punched flowers and brads.
    
3. Use foam 3D blocks to add dimension to the flowers.
