Now about the cards that I have made today.

For my first two cards I have used the stamp set Sew Suite and the new Embosslits die - Sweet Buttons for the Big Shot. The first card for my base I have used tempting turquoise with a layer of melon mambo and whisper white. The tape measure is old olive and the buttons are pumpkin pie, melon mambo, old olive and tempting turquoise.

The second card I have used pumpkin pie as my base with a layer of pacific point and Daffodil Delight.

My third card is using the button, button stamp set on page 8. My base card is one of our in colours "poppy parade" the first layer is also an in colour "concord crush" and the images are stamped on whisper white with always artichoke, pear pizazz, poppy parade and concord crush. The greeting is from the Create a Cupcake set.
