For my card today, I used the Folk Art Blooms and Potted Garden stamp sets from The Craft's Meow. I also used the Perfect Squares and Perfect Layers tools from Perfect Paper Crafting. Take a look at my card.....
I must admist, I have had the Perfect Layers tools for a few years. I used them mostly to mat my photos for layouts, but I never really thought to use them on my cards and I must say that they really made the job so much easier...no more uneven matted borders (since I tend to just eyeball the alignment). I also got to try out the Perfect Squares tool and I love the rulers on it....makes it so easy to get a square angled cut for my project.....
The flowers on my card are stamped from the Folk Art Blooms stamp set. I used the Potted Garden stamp set to stamp the sentiment.....I am always in need of birthday cards. ;)
