Three of my favorites products from the 2024 January – April Mini Catalog. Thoughtful Expressions is a great bundle, the dies are a must have. The Flight & Airy DSP along with Softly Sophisticated Bundle are from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. You just can’t go wrong with these items.
To me this is a Quick & Simple card. The Designer Series Paper does most of the work. The Radiating Stitches Die are a wonderful picture frame to the birds you cut out withe the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.
The only stamping was for the greeting and the inside sentiment. The card is easy to assemble once you cut everything out. So have fun and enjoy making this card or one like it. Happy Stamping!

This is a beautiful card and I will certainly be crafting this one in the morning
Thank you so much for sharing. Since I do not have the Radiating Stitches Dies I will have to use another one.
Thank you again for sharing.

Thank you Yvonne. If you have the stitched rectangle dies or another set of rectangle dies they would work great also. It’s amazing what we can do with what we already own. I do love the impression that the Radiating Stitches Dies give. Happy Stamping!
