Birthday #22 (Michelle Leone)

Birthday #22

by Michelle Leone

I believe that I've got my daughter's next birthday covered! This is way, WAY ahead of time (and so unlike me) - which is a great thing, as long as I'm able to find it all when September rolls around!

Loving the new number dies and the 'three sizes in one' means that I can easily make multiple projects. I've used a bit of patterned paper and a few simple stamps to create a girly card and a few tags. And there's a birthday crown (with the appropriate number prominently displayed) in the works too, which is a family tradition - no matter the age, no matter how silly! The added plus? When we look back at the photos from birthdays past, there's no need to count candles.... just look at the crown!

LOVE Is All You Need (Karen Letchworth, Guest Designer)

LOVE Is All You Need

by Karen Letchworth

It's such an honor to be designing for Frantic Stamper using their amazing Precision Cutting Dies. You will quickly fall in love with the high-quality and ease of using these wonderful die-cuts. I used some older patterned papers from my "stash" to create this card. Once I had layered my papers and added my hand-punched borders, I inked and machine stitched my card together.

Next, I added some sweet little banners using the Stitched Fishtail Banners Die Set and added the sentiment (LOVE) using the sweet Big Handwritten Love Die.

The finishing touch was to add a length of vintage baker's twine around my card. I really wanted to keep these sweet dies the focal point of my card, and by using Frantic Stamper's Precision Cutting Dies, making my card was so easy and fun. I encourage you all to give them a try. They really are awesome!
