Scrapy Land Challenge #63 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a great week!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is Anything Goes Plus a brand of die Scrapy Land carries...there are over 55 to choose from!! You could win a $15 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land :)

For my birthday cards, I stitched together papers from Prima.

I used a new Sue Wilson Designs Madeleine Die with all of the layers popped up with foam tape for dimension.

The bottom border is a Penny Black Edger die.

Tucked under the flowers are Cheery Lynn Flourish dies and a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets die.

The sentiments are from My Creative Time, stamped with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.

These cards are a little taller than I usually make, but that was so I could tuck in a bookmark :) I used a Memory Box Stitched Circle die to cut the opening. The bookmark is a Penny Black Bookmark die. I layered it three times for sturdiness.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART. The lace is also from Wild Orchid Crafts.
