Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Wonderful Cards/Projects from the Garden” where our design team showcase projects from things found in a garden, such as flowers, vegetables, fruits, or even a garden scene. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. Once you finish here, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Have you noticed the new dies that create help with the background or change the structure of the card? Okay, maybe you are puzzled by what I am talking about. So for example, Color and Contours give a location to place your cut-out image as opposed to the Basic Borders will change the structure of the card. Today’s card does just that changes the structure of the card. Notice the edge and how I made this card a folded card. I didn’t want just a straight edge. By using the Basic Borders I have added more interest to my card.
There are 6 dies in the Basic Border Dies. This gives you a chance to create a special cut or cut the die and apply it to your card. I personally think this one is just plain fun to play with and see what you can create.
