Oh did I ever have fun with this card kit! I received this card kit from mbg10001 ~ Mary in The Magnolia card kit swap Round #1. I tried a couple of things I've never tried before with this card. One was the paper pleating and the other was using a border punch on the circle background verse. As you can see I didn't do a very good job on the paper pleating! My paper cracked in the seams! Next time I'll use a thinner paper and make it wider. The border punch worked wonderful I clipped and worked the border around just like I would if I were sewing a sleeve on a blouse. Mary sent me the kitty image but something was still missing the one side was to open for me so I found this cute little puppy to add to the other side! The puppy is from a High Hopes Image. Thanks for looking! Oh if you'd like to play with us here is the link to Round #2 of the Matilda card kit swap. Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Very Sweet, Cute, and Fun Card! I made a card with lace doiley punch around a big scallop and didn't realize how to do it like you did and cut each piece for each scallop bump. Thanks for the inspiring idea, I'll try it soon. Love the giggle phrase and your Tilda, Kitty, and Puppy are so cute! It sure brightened my day!
