This card was made with the Winnie the Pooh and Friends Cartridge. The flowers were cut at 3 inches and the butterfly was cut at 1 1/2 inches. The background paper I used the Fiskars texture plate. I run it through my Big Shot Machine, so much easier then using the texture tool. The Thinking of You is a Studio G stamp. I stamped it on pink cardstock and then put it on black cardstock and used my Perfect Layers Ruler to make a 1/16th border around the stamped image. I glued white ric-rac to the bottom of the card and rounded the corners. Enjoy!

Decorative Panels made with Inkscape

This is a card I made just playing arund with inkscape. The 2 black border strips were made in inkscape. I used a decorative font. I took the image and made it to the size I needed and copied and pasted 2 more times. I then put one below the other and grouped and used the union button to weld them together. I then saved the file as an .svg and imported it into SCAL. I then cut out two with my cricut. I does not show but I used black diamond stickles on the design. This is a gate fold card. I used my fiskars border punch on both sides of the card.

Not sure what I will use this card for yet but it is ready to be used. Enjoy!
