BSS IDEA - Strawberry Card


Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Isn't August just whizzing by?  Soon the kids will be returning to
school, and in some places they already have.

I look forward to Fall, cooler days and I love the changing
of the leaves into bright reds, yellows and oranges.

This week, I made a card with a Strawberry die.
Hope you like it.



Die - Stephanie Barnad Sizzix Framelits( 664115) 5 dies included
Papers- Red and green dotted card stock, red and green card stock.
The seeds come with the die, and I just cut them out with white
and colored them yellow with a marker.  The picture on the die
shows them cut in black, but I thought they looked like watermelon
seeds on a strawberry!
Yellow bow.
The inside sentiment is Penny Black-Sprinkles and Smiles clear set (30-297)


I'm loving these dies that make a sweet little card. They are fun to create
and are great for kids and adults alike.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great day
Until later........
