...and this was another quicker version using the bird

stamp from the SU Garden Collage retired set:

This one is for Anne's Mother's Day card. I'm including a set

My Easter card versions for 2020:

Favorite Baby Girl Card

I try to keep a card like this on hand to send out for birthdays or congrats on the birth of your new baby girl. It's fun to see the results from using different combinations of DSP.

Sentiment: Vintage Labels (SU Retired)

This is a 5" square card and the center square measures 3 1/4". The blouse is SU's label punch and the dress is made from their scalloped oval punch. I also ran the ovals through an embossing folder to give a little bit of texture to the dress.

Sentiment: Hodgepodge Happiness (SU Retired)

Perfect Gift for Friends
