First up: First Class Friend Die-namics and Stamp Set. I used several of the elements from the stamp set and two of the dies for my focal element. Love how you can mix and match them. Then I thought the little airplane die from You Move Me Die-namics and Stamp Set would be adorable perched up on the large postage stamp frame.
Here's the inside. I was aiming for a postmarked, return address look. Did it work?
For my second card, I'm using Homespun Birdhouse Die-namics and Stamp Set. ACK! Do you see that birdhouse? It's a die! Yes, yes it is!!! And, the Branch With Leaves is another new die!
I stamped the sentiment from the set on a Clouds Die-namics die cut and positioned it over a similar one in the patterned paper and hung a big ol' Sunshine Die-namics sun in the sky. Worked out perfectly! Since I'm SO ready for fall, I made this a fall scene :)
Here's the inside, with another scene made with Die-namics and another sentiment from the set. What an adorable way to welcome folks to your neighborhood!
OK, that's all for me today--I'll be back tomorrow with another teaser. Hope to see you then!
