Pine Twig.

Hello and welcome to another day of Poppystamps blog blitz! hope you have enjoyed seeing the beautiful card  designs by the talented design team.

I needed a birthday card in a hurry  for my Daughter! it is her birthday today along with her husband 50th! and my Granddaughters 18th (Son`s Daughter)  as we have been away I did`nt get any cards done..such a rush! 

Well onto the card.. Todays prize is this gorgeous "Pine Twig"  I have used it with Poppystamps "Stitched Poinsettia Trio" (Love these).. Two very versatile dies here.

The pink pearl string I made myself! pinched my husbands fishing line and threaded on these beads, used hot glue to make them stay in place, white pearl string I purchased.

Sorry about the picture quality!!! this is how I made the topper for the card.. cut a  rectangle, placed the "Elegant Contour" each end cut in your machine.. Next I did the same with Pink card.

Trimmed away some of the white card sides  and adhered to the pink panel..

Finished by using "Festival Tags" with Vintage Happy Birthday die,  I stamped Daughter before giving it to her..

hope this has given you ideas for using your Christmas dies.
