WHAT I LOVE! Don’t you adore that curvy edge? It’s easy to create with the “back” side of the “lacy” die from Around the Border Dies. I used one of the small label dies from Happy Little Things (available March 5) for the “you’re all kinds of amazing” sentiment. I snipped off the detailed ends for a clean look.
