While I'm not officially a part of the Mark's Finest Papers blog hop today, I did make two cards using today's set -- Lots of Words. This particular set has two images, a butterfly and a sprig of flowers; and, as the name of the set implies, lots of words. I stamped the butterfly twice -- once on the card and once on a sheet of vellum. After coloring it (on the back of the vellum), I cut it out and glued it in the center with a couple of glue dots. I used some patterned paper from a DCWV matstack I bought several years ago, adding a couple of pearls. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment.
For my second card, I used a new Sizzix die set I recently bought -- Framelit Flip-Its. What I like about these dies are that, not only do you get the die to cut the card base, you also get a number of other dies -- including two which cut layers slightly smaller than the base. There is no need for measuring your patterned paper if you layer paper.
