Today's card spotlights Treasured Words stamp set.  I am also using Borderline stamp set and Verve's Cut Above Mini Vintage Oval, Pennant Trim, Rounded Rectangle  and Rounded Scalloped Frame dies.

 I started with some MME Lost & Found Sunshine dp.  I decided to keep this card fairly simple since it is a baby card.   I stitched the inside panel only.  I stamped the adorable baby buggy that comes in the set and paper pieced.  I did accent the dots with copic marker.  I added the layer sentiment.  I told you all I LOVE these new mini frame dies.   I just had to use this one.    I added three little pennants trim pieces to the bottom of the scalloped frame each topped with a tiny button brad.  I finished with a coordinating seam binding bow and button.
