My first card is a slimline card:

• I cut two scallop panels from the GKD Master Layouts 4 adhered them together and adhered it to the base of the card that measures 4 x 9 (8x9 scored at 4).  
• I then cut the next layer at 3 1/2 x 8 1/2.  I inked blended the background with GKD Blue Raspberry ink and used the Thick Brush stencil in the background for texture.  
• I stamped and heat embossed the butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies 2 stamp set and inked blended with GKD inks.  
• I stamped the sentiment from the Butterflies 2 Stamp Set and heat embossed in black and used the sentiment strip from the Master Layouts 2.  
• To finish off the card I added some GKD Angel Aura rheinstones.

My second card is a mini slimline:

• The base of my card is a top folding card measuring 3 1/2 x 6, the black layer measures 3 1/4 x 5 3/8, and the top layer is 3 1/8 x 5 5/8.

• Stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies 2 stamp set. Finished off the card by adding GKD Disco Ball embellishments.

My next two cards I created using the Simple Sentiments Stamp set illustrated by Beth Silaika.

To create this card I used GKD inks to create the background, using my Misti to keep the lines straight.  I die cut the two panels using  GKD Master Layouts 2. Added the sentiment from the Simple Sentiments Stamp set, I heat embossed the word "birthday" on black cardstock with GKD white embossing panel.  I finished off the card by adding some GKD Rainbow Hearts.
