MY CARDS:

I'm excited to share a few cards I've created with some of the fabulous products in this release!

Up first is the beautiful, Forest Border Frame die! I did some very simple Copic coloring on the die pieces. Easy and quick!



For my next card, I used the Carnival Petals embossing folder. I embossed it on a piece of Color Blend Cardstock then added a die cut sentiment. Another quick card.


My third card uses the Mod Leaf cling stamp. I decided to use Copic Markers for a rainbow of colors.



Up next is the Warm Hugs hot foil plate. I really love how large the sentiment is and it foils beautifully! I paired it with an older embossing folder.



And last but not least, the adorable stamp set called, It's Your Birthday. This is the cutest set! I used the bunny image for my card. I colored with it with Copics, fussy cut it out and adhered it to an ink blended panel.


Okay, that's it for me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products in this fun release. Enjoy the rest of the hop and Happy World Card Making Day!

Dear Barb - Your work never fails to impress, inspire and delight me. I love the "Just because" card and the Merry and Bright card (card #1). The Birthday Wishes card is also a delight... love the way you've colored the Mod Leaves design. The Warm Hugs and the Happy Birthday cards are also super...I especiallly like that little rabbit and the balloons in the Happy Birthday card. GREAT PROJECTS!! Thanks for all you do for the cardmaking community on WCMD!!
