Up first today is Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called Basket Additions 2. This first card is one I showed at the party:
I made a little beach scene on this one! I tucked the basket 'down' in the sand by cutting a little oval slit to put it in. This will work for a few teachers I know, lol! Here is another quick card I made, showing you that you do not have to have the basket stamps of Melanie's...you can make a cute card without it!
I used those cute flags in the set and the greetings! How cute is this? And for a friend of my sister's that was turning 39, she loved it my sister said! :D
Ok, next is a super fun set called Lacy Borders. Here is a card I showed at the release party yesterday:
This was another super quick card! These borders look SO real! On this one, I have heat embossed it in white and it really pops doing that!
Ok, ready for more awesome eye candy??
