I did get the Country Club Designer Series Paper

using the back side of the golf images.

2 Cards Featuring the Brand New Witty-Cisms Set by StampinUP!

using the new mini catalog set "Witty-Cisms"

For this card, I used the new Coastal Weave 3D
Embossing Folder, Linen Thread, Everyday Label Punch,
Classic Label Punch & Metallic Brads.

On the Daffodil Delight pc. of card stock, I simply
tore the right side to get the rough edge.


I used 8 of the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots
(notice the eyes)

The Birch background stamp was used & Grapefruit
Grove 1/8" Ribbon.  I also tore the edge of the green
pc. on this card as well.

I used the Stitched Shapes Dies and the brand new
Birthday Bonanza Designer Paper from the Mini Catalog.


If you have any questions about either of my card
creations, please don't hesitate to ask.
I appreciate you blogging by!!
