I made a lot of cards and had such fun!

I cased this from Karen Ksenzakovic. LOVE how it turned out.

Karen shared that she made the rectangle using Post It notes. Just add post it notes all the way around – I added them at 3/4″ all the way around and then using Blending Brushes, I brushed on the new In Colors Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue, and Peaceful Pine

I then removed the post it notes and ran it through the Die Cut & Embossing Machine using the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folders – all of these will be available to purchase on May 5th, 2026

This first one I used the Party Banners Dies. LOVE how it turned out

Isn’t that just SO unique. You can make banners with these dies, but also cards. I used the 5th die from the largest for the card base. To make this, you need to cut your cardstock 11″ x 41/4″ and scored at 5 1/2″. line up your cardstock just below the top of the die, so the top isn’t cut as shown in the picture below.

Then the Basic White measures 5 1/4″ x 4″ and is cut with the 6th from the largest die. You will also cut one more for the inside of the card.

Flowers Fair Photopolymer Stamp Set [167217] $23.00	Banner Sayings Bundle (English) [167051] $38.50	Granny Apple Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146990] $14.00	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [166780] $14.00

Cloud Cover 5 1/4″ x 4″
