I'd love to see how it would look if you scooched the cardinal toward the center a little and then added a simple dry-embossed border to the card. I think that would balance it out nicely. Please forgive me for not saying I love it the way it is. >;-) I do love the other two.<br /><br />Heather ChabriesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-49044254384458337662011-12-09T15:25:20.813-05:002011-12-09T15:25:20.813-05:00I love cherry cobbler red.

He-ho, file 13! Haha! I do adore cardinal card #1. I agree that the lattice edge does bring a fence to mind. The second card w/the rough edged panel and twine, floats my boat. Your third ETM (as Debbie Olson refers to them), is nice as is. I would not add anything. I "found" PIT about two years and have ordered from them nearly every month since. I consider their stamps, dies, cardstock/paper, buttons, trims, felt, and ink (haven't had any "trouble" w/my original inks and do not have any of the "new" they are now producing, but I'm sure it's fabulous, too) my most prized paper crafting supplies. I am amazed at the cards and projects Nichole and the DT produce every month to showcase their new peoducts. I hope you will like crafting with your new sets and that you share "evidence" of that with us. BTW, a belated Happy Birthday to you! :)Gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040333894048257419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-60684107491935937972011-12-08T11:20:44.770-05:002011-12-08T11:20:44.770-05:00Love the first two cardinal cards, most of all the...Love the first two cardinal cards, most of all the first one.

I hate it when you get new pti as I don't have any and no one in my family thinks to get me gift certificates like that! I hope you will try to CASify the card again.

All I want for Christmas is PTI stamps! :) I've suggested it to my husband and he's a good listener (okay, he likes to take the path of least resistance!) so I'm SURE I'll get a PTI gift certificate too!

This set is on its way to me, too (it takes up to two months for PTI orders to arrive in Australia, so you'll have yours before I have mine). And Modern Basics has been on my wishlist forever, so now I'm going to have to go and get it, so that I can use it when you inspire me. ;-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593478482380900371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-32908451807392436712011-12-07T19:46:59.515-05:002011-12-07T19:46:59.515-05:00I don't own any PTI stamps, but I see so many ...I don't own any PTI stamps, but I see so many cool cards made with them online that I had decided my next craft order will be from PTI.

However, I think the first is my fave--I like how you used an edge punch at the bottom of the square. Thanks for your kind comments about my two submissions this week. I'm a relatively new follower/disciple, but I must tell you how much I enjoy your challenges, and how much I am learning about card making design from reading your posts.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628064051832366762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-88795527484397437082011-12-07T11:12:28.300-05:002011-12-07T11:12:28.300-05:00The cards are great.
