I have a couple cards to share today, and my 1st card is a CASE of Kim Heggins card that I just absolutely fell in LOVE with using the die from the Quilted: Winter set.
I can't seem to get enough of the Aqua/Red color combo lately, so I used Aqua Mist cs for my card base and then the die was cut with Pure Poppy Bitty Big DSP. I was going to use the mug from the new Merry Mug set, but it was too large with the mouse when I put the tag over it, so went back to my all time favorite Fancy Tea Cup die and it worked perfectly!
And who can resist a mouse (Christmas Critters) in a tea cup??!! I used several of the snowflake stamps from Snowfall Style with Aqua Mist ink to stamp my background and card base before assembling the shaker part of the card. I used a little bit of baker's twine for the top of the tag and then put my sentiment on the inside as the outside was busy enough for a smaller card.
My 2nd card is more in keeping with the current season, and I used the center of the Shape Shifters: Circle 3 die along with the Tag Sale #4 die to come up with this card:
I kept my color palette pretty simple using Honey Nut and Rustic Cream cs along with the Honey Nut Bitty Big DSP. I also used Dawn's Scallop Stackers: Medium Die for the background and the Words To Live By: Gratitude stamp and die set for my sentiment. The little die cut banner is from the Just A Little Something set. a few sequins and some lace, twine, and seam binding ribbon finished off my card.
You can find Lizzies CUTE card and video right HERE to play along.
