Hand Penned Bundle



I have a stack of Hand Penned (page 105) cards waiting
in the wings.  I just couldn't put it down.  The dies (page 159)
enable you to make so many layered cards, that can be 
coordinated with the Hand Penned Designer Series 
paper on page 131.  You don't even have to think in terms
of colors, because you can take all of your cues from the DSP!

Bunches of Fun


 I purchased the Bunches of Fun set (page 41), because I
can use it for feminine or masculine cards, where the
woman figure is offering the greeting.   It's easy to fussy cut, 
color with Stampin' Blends and you are good to go.  It's a
very "user friendly" product, that should bring a smile
to the recipient's face!

This is the inside of the card.

Birds and More with Hand Penned


Happy Memorial Day!  My grandfather was a WW2
doctor.  I wish that we had more stories from his time
in service.  We do have a box of letters that he
wrote my grandmother, which are incredibly romantic!

I've used this layout before, but usually in a vertical,
rather than horizontal orientation.  I like the "real estate" 
available with this orientation.

This card uses a variety of products.  The bird (Beauty of the
Earth DSP on page 130)  and branch
come from the Birds and More dies on page 162.
The flowers and scallop edging are from the
Hand Penned Bundle on pages 105 (set) and 159 (dies).
For the sentiment, I used the Sweet Strawberry set on page 43.
The flowers were made with Sweet Strawberry and
the Strawberry Builder punch on page 148.
The DSP in the opening is from the In Good Taste
pack on page 132.
