Miss Monday- Sale-a-bration's Summer Shadows Dies

Miss Monday Cards featuring the Summer Shadows dies that are from Sale-a-bration! This item is a product  you can get for FREE with a $100 online order from my store. But only through September. So if you love these cards and want to make them too be sure to order before September 30th. 

Did I mention, these dies coordinate with a stamp set from the Annual Catalog (Shaded Summer Stamp Set ) but can also be used alone. I do not have the stamp set that matches and still find LOTS of value in the dies! 

 

Do tell, which do you prefer? Ribbon or no ribbon? Are you a ribbon junkie and have to collect them all? Or do you prefer the more simple, clean lines look? There is no wrong answer and I often find myself enjoying both! 

I love the embossing folder that I used to for the background of the this card. I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder (part of the Mini Holiday catalog). 

I also used another Sale-a-bration item for this card! Can you spot it? It is the greeting from the Counting Sheep stamp set! I love combing unpaired items together. It truly shows that the possibilities with these dies are endless. 

Today the winner for me is the card with the bow! I love how it matched the color of the inside of the flowers and just "ties" it all together! 

You can make this card too after you shop from my online store!
