Happy Birthday Card for Halloween Day!

Hello Dear Stamper Friends:
I wanted to make a birthday card for a person who has her birthday on the 31st and this is what I made...a birthday card with a little bit of Halloween theme...



Can you tell which Die I used for the egde of the cream and orange panels? It looks like a postmark edge...

Well... I used the remaining part of the "delicate chain" die!



I cut all around with the die and I got this fun edge...



Another example using this technique; I used The "heart chain border" die ...so look into your dies and find fun edges to play with...



The cake was decorated with the "delicate web" die, that I trim to fit the layers of the cake...



The tiny black flowers, the"Hydrangea bloom" die have a nice size to use in your cards and along with the sprigs, the flourish leaf and the border belong to the "Poppystamps" collection...



So The technique/tip that I shared today here with you is how to look at your dies in different ways and always try to find some other uses ...

"Stretch" the use of  your existing collection of dies...

Hope this was informative...
I think now I will be concentrating in Fall and Christmas cards...
