A ladybug! Lol! I just love this Ladybug Builder Punch! It pairs well with this Pattern Party Designer Series Paper!

I think this just made for a sweet card! I love the sentiment stamped in the wings!

The triangle on this card is from the Stitched Triangle Dies. I used the Mini Stamp Cut’n Emboss to cut it out! Conveniently, this little cutter and several dies are on sale for the month of March! Check it out here –

I hope my card inspires you today!

Tree Trimming The Town

Thanksgiving wishes to you and your family if this is a holiday that you celebrate. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to drop by!

We have our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

Love these fun Christmas colors! How about you?

I decided to do what several others did – use the Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper, but a little different!

The green strip pattern is actually diagonal. I cut it to make it horizontal. Then I took two other patterns and cut strips added them in between the stripes!

I started with a nice rectangle trying to decide what to do with the newly created patterned paper. I remembered I hadn’t used these Stitched Triangle Dies yet!

And so it was created! A lovely, stylish Christmas tree!

Now, to decide what looks better, a regular A2 card or a mini slim. Mini slim won for me!

I stamped the sentiment from the In the Pines Dies. I thought the tree still needed a bit of something so I added the Silver Foil bow and star. Done.

Such a sweet card!
