Tasteful {Trim} Birthday Cards

These Kwik & Kool Birthday cards are sure to please.  I love the funky look achieved by using the Tasteful Trim Bigz Die in my Big Shot.  

Using designer paper (like this fun collection, called Woodland Walk) allowed me to create a pulled-together look in a flash.  These two cards only took me 20 minutes to create from start to finish.  Replicate this look by changing out your DSP!

Butterfly Bling

With many June birthday's approaching, I decided to make some simple butterfly birthday cards.  You'll notice on these cards that there is very little stamping.  Only the sentiment in the lower right corner is actually stamped, making these cards so easy; Kwik & Kool!

I used two different designer series paper collections for the butterflies, Sweet & Sour Specialty and Blueberry Crisp.  Both papers are on the Last Chance List, so if you love these DSP collections (or any of your other favorites), BUY THEM NOW before it's too late.
