Two by Two Tri-Shutter Card

My neighbor has a Baby Shower this weekend for her Niece so I told her I would make her a card.   I love this "Two by Two" stamp set in the 2012-2013 Catalog -- works perfectly with the 3" Circle die for the Big Shot.

World Spectacular Pop Up Bday Card

Another version of the Pop Up card (for my Stamp-a-Stack).   The new Designer Series Paper, World Spectacular works nicely as "wrapping paper".     Although I think the Blossom Triple layer punch makes a better "bow" for the top of the presents, I used the Boho Blossoms punch as it is a current product.   Enjoy!
