And now for my project!

I did young Simba singing his famous "Just Can't Wait to be KING" song!

the file comes with 2 layers for the back mane... I just JB'ed it up with using the leaf die and cutting a gazillion times to create it this way.. and I TOTALLY love how it came out!

 I took the Head file that is FREE TODAY ONLY and made it into a shaped card. Its hard to see the base as I covered it in tons of layers using the Spring Dies (leaf).  I stamped a sentiment from Dream in Color onto a mini tag dies 2 and finished it all off with Orange and Red Bubbles from Queen and Company.

 As you can see, I left some of the tips of the leafs loose so that I could curl them to give my card further dimension.

Here is another view.

 I LOVE this tree stamp from Seasonal Tree. You can dress it up in SOOOO many different ways and for so many occaisions!  I chose to do a traditional tree, although my first inclination was to do a Easter Tree since Easter is right around the corner!
I used 3 of my copic markers to "fake" the leaves, and then added some green buttons from my stash for texture.  It is all on the Layered Frame and Journal Die.
I placed my framed tree on the MUST HAVE Goody Bag Die.  You MUST GET THIS DIE... You will use it 100 fold over!!

 Today I made the new Flower Treat Cup Card. I love how it came out!
These use treat cups from Stampin Up.

 The card kit included the card base, flower layers & stem and the front mat and inside mat, along with the trap door.  The Flag die is NOT INCLUDED, it is a mini tag dies 2.  The sentiment is from Seeds of Friendship.

I opted not to lay my flower flat, but to give it a dimensional look.  Ribbon, buttons and over large sequins finish it off.

How FUN is this Stud Muffin?
I used the new cut from SVG Cutting FIles and placed it on the So Jacked Handled Bag.
I used the new Birthday Dies for his party hat, and the mustache dies for his 'stache!
The Mini Tag Dies 2 came in handy to stamp the awesome sentiment from Supersized Greetings. The Stud Muffin sentiment is from Funny Valentine.
I added some bright fun Twine from The Twinery.
