Hello crafty friends, welcome to the Poppystamps & Birch Press Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Sue McRae!
Birch Press Design has released so awesome A2 sized stackable cover plate dies and my card today features the Circa Layer die set!
With the Circa Layer die set, I made a fun and playful animals card. First, I die cut all three circle cover plate from shades of blue card stock using the Circa Layer dies. I then cut kitties, squirrels, and tiny butterflies out of white card stock, and then die cut stitched leaves from green card stock using the Fall Leaf Collage die. I adhered all elements as shown to the picture on the light blue cover plate panel using double-sided tape, and then mounted them on an A2 top folded navy blue card base using foam tape. To finish it off, I embellished with a few clear sequins.
For the sentiment, I used the Poppystamps Wintertime Bears stamp set.

Look at these playful kitties! Aren’t they so cute?!
