Balloon Letter dies

Hey everyone! 

Stopping by to share a card I've got up on the Avery Elle blog today! 

I created a cute scene with a hedgehug using Hedgehugs and dies and have him holding balloons from Balloon Letters dies.  I used to Pierced Rectangles create my panel for my card. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Swans and Favorite Person

Hey everyone!  I've got this card over on the Avery Elle blog today! 

I blended a pretty background and used the new Swans stamps & dies to create my card.  The sentiment is from Favorite Person and the frame is with two Double Pierced Rectangles dies!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
