Cutting Edge blog hop!

  Paulina of Pretty Pink Posh is doing it again:

Hosting an awesome blog-hop.

This time, the theme is using dies.

 I'm just back from two week's holiday, then a rushed few days getting all my "men" back to school. So I'm my card-making muscles are a little out of shape.

Thankfully, dies make a great impact without a lot of work.

I used several dies from Lil'Inker Designs:

• Stitched rectangle dies for the card border
• Thanks word die
• "seriously" word die.

I also used a border die from My Favorite Things.  I bought it second-hand, so not sure of the name. 

The card-stock is "Smoothie," a yummy colour from Close to My Heart. The matching washi tape, which forms the upper border, is also CTMH.  I cut the "Thanks" die from some white card-stock, coloured silver with  Ranger Distress Stain in brushed pewter. Gives a nice shimmer.  A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and Calico Studio finish off this simple card.

Oops!

Almost forgot to include the photo of the inside:

 How awesome is that word-die from Lil'Inker? Seriously!

This card is destined for our neighbours, who hosted a seriously awesome barbeque this past weekend. Made me glad I'm not a vegetarian...

Head on over to the PPP blog, to see some of the great entries.  The link closes at 11:59 tonight.

Happy crafting,

Caroline
