I am very excited to be included in the hop, and couldn't wait to see what designer templates I'd get to work with. I was graciously sent the Tiny Holiday and Abbie Road Mini sets. I think the Tiny Holiday set could be used on both cards and layouts. The Abbie Road is definitely geared more towards cards, but I could see using them as boarders for journalling or certain pictures on a layout. The products really are very versatile.
Since National Card Making Day is during the hop, and there is a fun challenge at Kiwi Lane in honor of that, I made two different cards. Be sure you check the challenge out, and get in on the fun!
My first card is very clean and simple. I used one of the borders and the ornament from the holiday set. I wanted to show how easy the sets are to use for different ideas, so I turned the ornament upside down and turned them into balloons. The balloons have some stickels on them for a bit of interest, and I used twine for the balloon strings.
For my second card I wanted to have less white space so I used both the A and B sides of the borders, but cut them in different spots. I then tucked on pumpkin under part of the boarder and popped the other up with foam dots. A few fall stickers and I was good to go. There is a lot of depth and interest, but with the matching waves it doesn't look overly busy...I love it!
