Today I've got a couple of
mini cards using two of the

Check out my projects:

The first card uses the Party Hat Dies
and the sentiment is from the coordinating
The second card uses the Balloon Dies
and the phrase comes from the same
You're Invited stamp set, I LOVE this stamp set!
In addition, I used a Lil' Inker Banner Die.
A fun little stampin' trick here:
