I purchased this really cool die from Laurie at Soap Box Creations and it is for hanging your greeting card outside of a gift bag, otherwise known as the "card holder" die. You can see more about that here. It is an amazing little die that is a must have! It has been driving me nuts that I did not have anyone to give a gift to so I could use it, so finally one of my co-workers decided to have a birthday so happy day! This was so much fun to play with! I used Ruby Red stamps and dies from PTI, I have to admit I had a bit of a difficult time lining up my stamp with my dies but I am still very happy with how it all came together.
My next card is for CASology and Make it Monday. this week's CASology cue card is "yellow"...I love yellow, it is so bright and cheerful, just makes me smile. Since PTI"s Make it Monday is Overlapping Ombre I pulled out Fanfare from Avery Elle, this border is so fun to use and looks so pretty. I know my colors are not actually overlapping but I still will play along. This is a technique I do use often enough, the results can be so beautiful and create a different look to your card. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my card....have a wonderful rest of your week!
