For my card I am using Cross of Christ stamp set. I combined some of my Stampin Up In color patterned papers for this card. So far I have not purchased any new designer papers this whole year. I am trying to use more of what I already own. Sort of a fun challenge for myself. I added some stitching and layered inked distressed corrugated cardboard. I decided to use one of my older spellbinder frames that I have not used in awhile. I stamped the largest Cross in the set with Memento Cocoa ink. I ink distressed the edges. I finished with some tiny gold pearls, seam binding bow, and pearl button.
For my card I am using the 5th Anniversary Release Quote Collection 3. I combined the quote above with ODBD Antique Labels Designs stamp set along with the 
coordinating ODBD Custom Spellbinders Antique Labels and Border dies. 
For my card I am using ODBD As You Graduate for the focal image. I stamped the background in a soft aqua color. I stamped the sentiment using Memento tuxedo black. I decided to add a little bit of flair using the ODBD Blessed Christmas set set(yes...Christmas in March and without a Christmas theme) along with the ODBD custom Poinsettia die. 
As you see I only used the curly cue leaves and vines on the edges of the poinsettia to tuck under the frame. Love using stamps and dies in different ways. I stamped, die cut, and added some glitter. Next, I decided to add a butterfly. I chose the butterfly single image. 
I stamped in Memento ink, die 
cut with the ODBD custom butterfly die. I colored with copics and added some glitter. I finished the card with a seam binding bow in soft green with a glittered button.
Welcome to my blog where I love to share the things I do with paper.
