Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a wonderful March break...some family time maybe, down time or just plain old fun! Ours was great and I've started on my My Digital Studio scrapbook pages that I'll be sharing in the near future:)
In the meantime, my nephew Matthew's birthday is the same day as Nathan. So we had a joint party (although according to Nathan it was all about him....well, maybe it was:) This is the card we made for Kayleigh.
I LOVE this Sale-a-bration stamp set....Sweet Summer. I love the stems and the flower options that come with it. But more importantly, I LOVE how I can use my buttons on the stems! Aren't these flowers sweet? I love it!
I did a couple of other "tricks" on the card as well. I wanted to sew on the card and adjusted the tension on the card.....I like the way this looked:) I did the straight stitch around the outside of the card and then the zig zag on the inside of the card.
The other little "trick" is the punched greeting on the card front. I saw this on Mary Fish's blog and just loved it! I used the Decorative Label punch and punched out the full punch first. The I fed it back in the punch and made this little label. I just love how the brads fit so perfectly on the little nubbies and the points top and bottom.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a WONDERFUL week! See you again tomorrow!

What a lovely card, Heather!! I love the Sweet Stitches dsp. May I also give credit to Tracey Vidal (my sister-in-law) for the punch idea, although it was featured on Mary Fisher`s blog, my very talented s-i-l was the genius behind the design!!
