Paisley Petals DSP and Four Frames Thinking of You Card!

This card was another project for our April Play Day, and it uses the Paisley Petals DSP, which was a preview from the new 2011-2012 catalog, and the Four Frames stamp set, also a preview.  This is beautiful DSP, and fun to use with the Four Frames, as well as being a fast card, since there isn't much stamping on it.  Here is a picture:

Bold Blossom Funky Fold Birthday Card!

When I first saw a card using this fold I really wasn't sure that I liked it, but when I tried it I absolutely LOVED it!  It is so much fun to make that I honestly have trouble not using it on every card!  I keep thinking of stamp sets that would be fun to use with it.  Anyway, here is a picture of a project that we made at April Play Day:

I didn't like my first picture of this card, so took some new ones and added them!  Didn't want my lack of photography skills to detract from this card!
