Here's a card with another craft item I haven't used in a while – Sizzix's Baby Dresser die. The last time I used it was in 2022 as a new baby card for my great-niece's arrival. Even though this die-cutting set is supposed to be for a new baby, I've used it a lot through the years for all sorts of other occasions like Halloween, Christmas, and this Easter card. In fact, I copied that last Easter design for this card, using Beccy's Place Cool Chicks digi and punny sentiment. Just an aside here, but I discovered when looking up the link for this digi that Beccy's Place is shutting down her digital store in June. I like Beccy's digis and have quite a few; I really hate to see this.
Which brings me to another point, although I've been talking about trying to use what I have instead of buying new in my last few posts, this doesn't include digis. The fact is if we don't support (within reason of course) the digital stamp designers we like, they won't stay around. Furthermore, if I happen to find a very good buy on something that's probably going to be a little bit hard for me to resist, e.g. the new wonky stitch rectangle dies I've been wanting for the longest time and found for only €0.99 (now tell me, how could I refuse that?).
This card is going to an old friend of mine as a combo Hi/Thinking of You/Happy Easter card. Paper is Craft Sensations Lovely Flowers. I dressed it up with a button topped Toga bowtie die-cut.
