Life Is Sweeter with You in It

I love the die cut inlay craze that's so popular right now.  I'm not the best at it so don't look too closely at this card.  I used the scalloped frame from the Simon Says Stamp Frames die set to cut through this cute polka dot paper from the Miss Caroline 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye.  I then die cut the same frame into some leftover watercolor paper.  I then tried to inlay the watercolor paper into the polka dot paper.  That was a funny experience.  By the way, if you try to inlay with polka dots and something doesn't look quite right, check if you didn't get one piece of the paper turned the other way.  Yeah, my dots didn't line up.  Thankfully my tape was very forgiving and I was able to peel the paper off and turn it around.  No one would have known, well except for the fact that I can't keep my big mouth shut.

The rest of the card was a breeze.  I die cut out my stamped piece from the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Tim Holtz exclusive using the straight frame from the same Simon Says Stamp Frames die set but used my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the corners.  I liked that better with the curves of the other frame.  I then adhered the panel with pop dots and called it  day. 

You Are Sew Special to Me

For today's card, I used another image from the now (sadly) sold out Stamptember set from Tim Holtz.  This card came together so fast once I saw sketch 155 for Freshly Made Sketches.  I had the Miss Caroline 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye sitting on my desk and these two designs from it just called out to be used to together.  I used the frame from My Favorite Things Blueprints #13 to cut out both sheets and then cut down the floral print to layer over the other.  I little Sky Lawn Trimmings finished off the seam.  I then cut my image out with the pennant shape from Lawn Fawn's Stitched Party Banners and finished it off with some of the same Lawn Trimmings and adhered it with pop dots.  Perfect!
