    27. Allie, although my favorite stamp this release is the feathers, your piggy bank has made the piggy a number two...had to buy that cricut cut, it was too stinking cute, and I know my Granddaughters will love putting it all together to make for their friends...was there instructions for that anywhere that I could print for them so they don't drive me crazy while they are crafting? Thanks for sharing such beautiful creations!

      1. There's a link to the file at Cricut Design Space. I cut two of the back pieces in Dusty Rose and made a fold line near the top and placed my glue above that line to create the card base, then added the top layer of Peach Bellini. I scored the pigs feet as well, from the back so it would stand out. I also inked the edges and used a flourish from the Sending Love set for eyelashes. Hope that helps!

    35. Fantastic cards and projects.
      Love the little piggy - he can be kept out on
      display after the event is over - a reminder
      of someone thinking enough of them to make a
      darling gift.
      The multi-colored feathers are beautiful.
      thanks for sharing some wonderful things.

    42. Allie: So many new pretties!!! Although I am “color challenged,” I do enjoy looking at what others have created. Your last card is my favorite. I almost always want one of every color, because it is so hard to choose “just one” of something that comes in several colors.

    43. Love the feathers. You know that when I do the hops I look to see how many different ways to use the sets that I get and I love them all but the colors of the feathers are striking.
