Hello!  Today, I wanted to share with you a sweet little card that I designed for my lil’ sister’s birthday.  I had a lot of fun making this card for her!  For the base, I used the Sizzix Playful Flip-its Die Set.  I think that I am in love with this set!  It’s probably just me, but when I first saw this die set, I wasn’t sure that there would be enough room to put anything other than words/sentiments on the triple center portions.  But the ladybugs fit perfectly!  And after making this card, I realized that there are a bunch of other cute little stamps out there that would work just as well!   I used the Sizzix Rectangle/Gift Card Flip-its Die Set for the flower with the “drop in” sentiment and the mini4circles stamp set by The Stamps of Life for the Happy Birthday sentiment.  I added some grass, leaves and mini ladybugs for the final touch.  The cute black & white polka dot patterned paper came from this month’s “Thank You” Card Club Kit from the Stamps of Life.  I’m looking forward to using this base die-set again.  It’s pretty easy to use and unlike my original thinking, the options are endless!

Thanks for looking!  Feel free to leave any comments or questions!
