I Love You(calyptus)

My niece's younger son is turning 18, so I decided to use a new stamp set I got recently, and to also use it for a girlfriend's birthday.

The koala and the little heart are from the "I love you(calyptus)" stamp and die set, and the opening is "Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Windows," all from Lawn Fawn.  The trees in the background are "Birch Trees" dies from Impression Obsession.  The party hat is from "Cuddly Critters Accessories" stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp.

Sliding Window Card

I wanted to try out a new die set, "Sliding Window," by Sunny Studio.  I've tried this style of card before, but it's so much easier with the die set - no more measuring or scoring.  A ribbon at the top, allows the recipient to easily pull the card so that the front slides up to reveal the message underneath.

The acorn is from "Nutty for You" by Sunny Studio.  The squirrels are from "My Favorite Nut" by Neat and Tangled.  

90th Birthday

A special friend of mine celebrated her 90th birthday, so I wanted to give her a special card.  I used essentially the same dies I used on my nephew's card in July, but just repositioned things a bit.  The one main difference in the dies I selected was the basic box shape.  I used "Box Card Dies" by Pink and Main.  What makes this different is the edge of the box.
