There is also a link to the Blog Hop at the end of my post.


Today I am sharing a card using the new PIGS CAN FLY set - these pigs are just too cute. I made a larger card to change things up from the standard A2 and pulled some older patterned paper from my stash. The dandelion puffs reminded me of clouds, and there are pretty pearl bits on the patterned paper as well.


Notice the clouds? They are the fallaway pieces from Monday's card where I used the new Pick Me Up stamp with the new Cloud Panel Die.  I still have lots to use on other projects as well.  The PIGS CAN FLY set has so many fun sentiments - and I chose 'Hoggy Birthday' for this one.

One of the YNS Stitched Scalloped dies was used to die cut a window in the bottom right corner of the card front, then I used the same die to cut a second Stitched Scalloped panel from a scrap of patterned paper in the package and mounted it inside the card. It shows perfectly through the card front when the card is closed.


Here is a peek at the inside, using the Congratulations as well as the Pig Time stamp from the PIGS CAN FLY set. The YNS Fishtail Banner die set is one I pull out again and again, and I used it here. Of course I also added some sparkly Gumdrops - I love how much they add to a card.


Seriously - these piggies just make me smile.


LOOK!  Your Next Stamp is offering a discount code as well!!
