Hi Diane with you today.

I have a rather large but fun Americana card to show you.

I used a Sue Wilson embossing folder for the background.

I cut two PoppyStamps Small Madison Windows

and two PoppyStamps Small Madison Shutters.

I hand cut the star curtains from Bo Bunny Anthem collection papers.

I decorated the windows just in time for Memorial Day

with a wreath cut with Memory Box Starry Wreath.

I cut it three times using Pearlized Esse White Metallic for the base

and So Silk Fair Blue and Stardream Jupiter for the randomly places stars.

I just cut them apart, very easy.

If you haven't tried any of these card stocks yet,

give them a try, they are a wonderful heavier weight and beautiful!

The Best Wishes is a Spellbinders die.

A tip for adhering your words.

Cut a piece of Scor-tape double sided adhesive to fit your word

and place on the back of the paper you are using.

Place your die on the paper side(not the adhesive side) and cut.

To make this even easier,

I use daily either the Cuttlehug Large shim or

Mini Adapter Plate.

To help get the paper with adhesive out of your die,

another daily tool I can't live without are

the Crafters Tools by Cheery Lynn.

These really come in handy with the more intricate and smaller dies

like the word dies.

I finished my card with a pretty bow.
