Kelly Santi creates this dynamic card using cardstock in the challenge colors and heart dies from the Heart Frames die set. She adds a birthday sentiment from the Party On! stamp set. Her colors really pop against her black card base.  Totally rad!

She uses the Frames & Tags die to create her card layout and uses bright pink glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. A fabulously tubular way to combine products!

On a short break.

Debbie Owens shows the versatility of the New Retro paper pack. She uses the funky black pattern paper and the Frames & Tags die to create her backdrop. She then adds a partial circle using the  Circle Frames die set. She adds the tall stack of mugs from the Coffee Delights stamp set. She stamps the sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set on a banner using the Banner Trio die set. Love the angular elements paired with the circular ones!
