A few months ago, my friend, Kim Kesti, sent me the My Happy Place Dies and today I am sharing this set of four cards I created with this amazing versatile die set!I love that these dies can be used to create not only fun buildings, castles, houses, etc. but also candles! The possibilities are endless with a die set like this. These cards also utilize one of my most favorite techniques: mixing and matching from multiple companies! I used Simon Says Stamp, Spellbinders, and MFT Stamps for these cards today.

I love creating multiple cards while I have all the supplies out. These birthday cards are bright and fun and all use the same supplies, just different layouts of the blocks dies and different stamped phrases. The subtle stamped and embossed backgrounds add to the overall look and feel of the design(s).

Hello friends! Today I'm super excited to be sharing a couple of brand new shaped gift card holders with the Simon Says Stamp Latte Gift Card Slider dies and MFT Stamps Merry & Bright Die-namics.

PREPPING THE PANEL
I trimmed two panels of smooth white cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4". From one background the MFT Stamps Huge Hugs Die-namics was die cut from the background. Front the other background the MFT Stamps Big Smile Die-namics was die cut.
On the back of the panel I added double side adhesive tape and lined up the strips behind the die cut sentiments. Any excess stripe was trimmed away with scissors.
Funfetti hearts were added to both cards above the kitties.
