It's been a very productive day here so far :)
I made the cutest gift card set (if I do say so myself.. lol!)
I used the latest sketch at Card Patterns:
I made my cards 4 1/4" square and used the My Favorite Things "Decorative Doily" die for my circle mat. All papers are from Authentique's Free Bird "Delight" 6x6 pad.
Isn't he so cute?! That adorable bear and "bear hugs" sentiment are from the Paper Smooches set "Chubby Chum Pals". Here is the set of 4 I made:
Authentique and Paper Smooches are our featured manufacturers at AWDML.. all of their product is 25% off through January!
