 Lots of projects using this fab die set that is now available on the co-ordinating products with Sale-a-bration - see my previous post for details. Once again using the colour challenge of black, lovely lipstick and old olive in different coloured card stocks and just one greeting outside and one inside the card.  The card has a circle aperture cut slightly smaller than the outside of the die cut. The die cut itself has been cut around and the little half circle scored around the edge and all poked outwards with the pokey tool. The centres of the flowers have been used as confetti on the inside of the card - use a very fine nozzle on your glue so not to get in a sticky mess!! Iused the stampin up Fine tip Glue pen.  Ensure your greeting inside the card cannot be seen through the aperture on the outside - I have placed mine near the bottom of the card - and likewise will write my personal message to the recipient here too!  I used some of the spare flower...

 I sometimes need a bit of a challenge and recently visited some challenge blogs - these are great when you have a bit of a creative block because they limit your options and stimulate your inventiveness. This card I am using two different challenges - I am playing along with Addicted to Stamps with their Clean and Simple card CAS  and with TGIF for their colour challenge this week which is : Lovely lipstick, black and old olive. #TGIF254 I used two circle dies to cut a simple wreath in white card and I used the Stampin' Up co-ordinating dies called 'Sending Flowers Dies' that co-ordinate with the Sale-a-bration freebie stamp set called Sending You Thoughts. I love the dies and the greetings in the stamp set and I have already used them on my blog on the 2nd and 3rd February and the great news is I have had so many ideas for these products that I am going to be using them for the next few blog posts as well sometimes in surprising ways.
