My first card was made using the word die, "Hope". This new set comes with Hope, Peace, Punctuation Marks and of course the Ribbon! The background paper was made using an embossing folder, Distress inks and water.




 Here I framed and popped up the "Thanks" die along with the Exclamation Mark. The word dies are the perfect size and I love the font! The Dragonfly is part of the new Floral Frame and Embellishment Set.



Here is the new Floral Frame & Embellishment Die Set. Isn't it gorgeous! There are five dies in the set! 




I wanted to try just embossing the Floral Frame,...LOVE IT! Yep, that sweet little butterfly also comes with the set!


On the inside of my card I used 2 halves of the Floral Frame that are included with the set. Fun, right? There's that beautiful dragonfly again!


Look at all the detail on the Frame! The design pattern is the same that you see on all the embellishments in the set. The Dragonfly and Butterfly are a smaller version of the original two dies, 005GD,and 006GD 


The inside of the card was left blank for a hand written note. I love how Jenny used just a strip of the Floral Frame on her Floral Alphabet Stamp card. Thanks, I love that idea!

  3. Karen, your cards just blow me away! I love the word cards, especially the background on the Hope card and the gorgeous ribbon you made on the Thanks card, and the collage-y look on the other two cards is perfect for the vintage floral images. Amazing job with all that fussy cutting, too! It was great to see you Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking my class!
