• The colors include Calypso Coral, Pebbled Path, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce. 
• The tree, leaves and toucan are all from the Jungle Pals dies.

I love it when the inside is stamped to match the front!

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here. 

Save

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!  

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here.  She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper.  I just love this card!!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here.  It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last. 

Save

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe.  Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star! 

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

Save

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

~~~

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper. 

Save

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.  

It's a simple fun fold too!

  This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy.  It involves a bit of scoring and trimming.

  The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  It's retiring and discounted.
