Sometimes simple is better, like this card with a simple sentiment from the Big On Birthdays stamp set. The Party Animal Designer Series Paper steals the show on this card and it also provides an instant color palette.

Custom Tee Bundle
The Custom Tee Bundle is a super versatile bundle which includes the Custom Tee stamp set and the T-Shirt Builder Framelits. I love it because you can make a simple T-shirt like I did here or you can use the variety of images and framelits to build a collared shirt and add suspenders or a button up blouse and many more pieces of designer clothes.

I used the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder on each of the strips in the background to add some awesome texture. Then the T-shirt is made more prominent by offsetting it on a circle which was die cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
Special Reason Bundle makes stunning Black Eyed Susan
For today’s card I used the Special Reason Bundle which includes the Special Reason stamp set and the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies. One of the things I love most about these framelits is that some of the images are designed for us to use the negative image. “What does that mean”, you ask? Well, take a look at the Black-Eyed Susan flower I created on this card. Normally when we die cut we use the piece that is cut out. In this case we are not using what was cut out, but rather what’s left (the negative) after we set aside what we cut out. Get it?
Putting a piece of Crushed Curry card stock behind the negative image brings the flower to life. I also die cut a piece of early Espresso card stock for the center of the flower and popped it up with a small piece of a Stampin’ Dimensional. I did the same type of thing along the bottom edge of the card front by placing a piece of Old Olive card stock behind the stem and leaves, so the negative image pops.
