I'm always pretty pleased when I can complete a card that has texture and is still postal friendly. Have you tried out any of the Paper Layering Dies? Check out the oh-so-fun [hero_product_link sku="DI160" text="Paper Layering Pineapple"]: One of the many beauties of these dies...the awesome texture. It literally makes the card for you.

Well, I came to the conclusion that I don't have a favorite one, just because I love many colors, specially the ones that make me feel happy. Yellow is one of those.

Party Time Piñata

Once dry, I hand cut it out, and "hung" it on a white tag stamped with sentiments from the Party...
