Dies from a Friend

The challenge this week at The Paper Players was to create a card using die cuts.  I knew the dies I was going to use as soon as I read this, although I knew I wouldn't meet the deadline.  But I still had to finish. 

So back during the holidays, before my life turned from fun and crafty to studious and stressed, I had participated in a bit of a crafty swap with my online friends at StampNation.  From a lovely member of StampNation named, Charlene, I received some stickers and glitter ribbon/tape that I was itching to use . . . and I used a few before school swept me away.  But I also received some die cuts.  Some of them were stamped and die cut using a Cricut.  When I saw this challenge, I knew exactly what I wanted to use.

So here is my card using four of the dies in the packet . . .two trees, a deer and a sentiment.

 

And it's a shaker card . . . the trees are in the shaker, and the deer and sentiment dies are on top of the shaker. 

My thanks for those die cuts from Charlene!
