I'm in Haven

My daughter, Hannah, flew in on Saturday from Nashville and left early this morning...a whirlwind, but wonderful weekend visit...so I have, as well as my craft room, been occupied:):)!!  I got some dies from Frantic Stamper over the weekend and although I KNOW I will be making more cards to show you you with this die, I made one this morning that I couldn't save until then to show you...what fun!!...
 LOVE the font of this sentiment die!  The die cuts out the word but leaves it attached to the card.  I masked and sponged the colors on each letter and used a Papertrey Ink impression plate (Simple Stripes...discontinued, sad to say!!!) as well as a partial birthday sentiment by PTI, to finish my card.  The die also pierces the the top and bottom borders...so cool...here's a close up...

I just HAD to make another card with the Frantic Stamper Stars and Stripes Photo Card die, simple and this time sideways using the sentiment and a star die from  the set...
 Instead of "love" colors, I used some bright "happy" colors (paint chips), die cutting the sentiment that came with the set for the front(LOVE THIS FONT!!)...

I recently purchased the Stars and Stripes Photo Card die from Frantic Stamper...what a cool die!!  I made this card much like I made my Floral Flaps card  the other day...
Have I mentioned lately...I LOVE PAINT CHIPS!!  Well, I DO!!  What I especially love especially for a die like this, is to have paint chips with 4 colors...they are perfect shades of one another, and despite my epic fail at attempting to pair 4 pieces of card stock together for this card...I thought of the paint chips in my box, and VOILA...4 colors that go PERFECTLY together!!!  OK...FUN, FUN, FUN!!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Today, my card uses the same sentiment as the cards of the last 2 days, and maple leaves, but much smaller leaf dies than the maple leaves used yesterday...
