With Best Wishes

My card for you today could be used for a variety of occasions including birthdays, to express thanks or, in the case of this card, I used a sticker sentiment to express best wishes.

I used the Tulip Fanfare and ran it through with a few colors for pink and purple tulips. I also cut the tulips to layer into the window box. I used one of the shapes that are leftover from the Meso Background to add interest on the wall inside the window.

Supplies:

Poppystamps Dies - Dianna Border [1029]

Poppystamps Dies - Classic Ribbons [1005]

Poppystamps Dies - Tulip Fanfare [1018]

Summer Bench

My card for you today is a summer bench full of playful kittens.

This card is a quick way to send a sunny summer birthday card to a cat lover.

I framed the park bench by using two die cuts of the Leafy Sprig Border.

Next I ran the Brighton Flower Border through the die cutting machine a few times and cut the flowers off the stems so I could adhere them to the top of the card.

Then I ran the kittens through several times to get different colors.

While it seems like a lot of die cutting to get the different colors of flowers or kittens, the great part is that you can save what you do not use for another card.
