OKAY - THIS was my FIRST attempt at NOT FUSSING. So much for that, because I just kept adding one more detail until it sang to me, and then it wasn't simple anymore. sigh. BUT, the GOOD NEWS is THIS!! Am I the first person to discover that when you cut this wreath out you can do both dies at the same time? I am always reading things that say it's easier if you do the inside before the outside, and I discovered that it's even EASIER if you do them both at once!! You make that arrow point up on the stamp - mark the paper with an up arrow so you remember what is the top. Then you put the big one on - or the outside of the wreath making sure to use the up arrow to help you with placement and THEN YOU LINE THE LITTLE ONE UP EVEN WITH THE OUTSIDE ONE AND VOILA!!! PERFECT EVERY TIME!!! (I felt like I was nothing short of a genius to discover it so if it's old news and everyone knows this, don't pop my balloon okay?) I already failed at my own dessert so if I can pass along some wisdom it will make me feel better!! Haha. Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

So this must be your super-elegant fussy card, right? It is gorgeous! What a great tip about cutting both dies at the same time, and No, I did not know that. You're brilliant. This card is so lovely!
