I’m over at the Picket Fence Studios blog and wanted to share here too.  When I was creating today’s card, I was completely enamored with the new Petite Cup Die and wanted to focus squarely on that.  I love a stand alone die that can be great for so many kinds of cards.  For today, I created a card to support and cheer on a friend.

I started with a stack of printed papers in varied colors and used the die to cut out the cups.  On the middle cup, I simply cut it on the reverse so I could stack them better.  Super fast and think of all the papers you have that would be great for this!  To make the gingham cups pop against the background, I chose a woodgrain paper that added texture but also help highlight the fun designs.  For a sentiment, I went to the fantastic Exhale Worry stamp set.  Seriously, this is one you simply must have.  It will be a workhorse for you.  I put the sentiment on a little banner and added a button and some twine from my stash.

I hope you enjoy this card!  Don’t forget to look at your die cuts for fun and inspiration.  There are so many ways to use them!!  Thanks for stopping in today.  See you soon.
