SAB Hippest Hippos


 My mom is in skilled nursing and every once in a while
I bring some die cut items and sentiments to make some
cards.  The SAB Hippest Hippos with coordinating Hippo Dies
are a wonderful FREE option with purchase.

In this example, I added a butterfly created with the 
Build a Butterfly dies.

Daisy Lane with Heron Habitat Sentiment


 I've wanted to make this card layout, for
a while.  It's easy because you take a piece of DSP, cut 1/2 way
across horizontally, and just fold/glue the edges back.  If you enjoy
both sides of a piece of DSP, it is a perfect strategy to create interest.

I used retired DSP and the retired Daisy Lane stamp set. 
The Large Daisy punch is retired, but the Medium Daisy punch
is still available.  I stamped the sentiment from
Heron Habitat and glued it in the DSP opening.  It looks
like you did something fancy, but it is an incredibly 
easy technique.

Happier Than Happy with Heron Dies


As I've said, I really enjoy the Happier Than Happy stamp
set, with coordinating dies.  We have so many current and
retired DSP packs that coordinated well with this bundle.

In this example, I used 3 strips of the retired Beauty of the 
Earth DSP, glued them and then ran this layer through the retired
Subtles 3D Embossing folder.  I added grass from the
Heron Dies and cut out the sentiment with a 
Tailor Made Tags die.  I wanted the bear to look like
he was walking out of the forest to send a birthday greeting.
