Have you used our corkboard yet?

Here is a simple card to close out my week of "bliss".  I cased this from Rebekah Jensen, but changed a few things.  I would love to help you get this set for free.
Just about any color would look great on this card.  The "B" is cut out of our corkboard.  It looks cooler in person.

Supplies: 
Stamp Set: Bliss(SAB)
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: Daffodil Delight
Tools: Big Shot, Framed Tulips embossing folder, Serif Essentials Alphabet die
Accessories: pearls, dimensionals

More Framed Tulips

Here is another card using our framed tulips embossing folder.  It is really growing on me.  This card was cased from Selene Kempton with a few changes.

Choc: 5-3/8" x 4-1/8"
Vanilla frame: 5.25"x 4"
smaller Choc: 3.75" x 3-7/8" (before using scallop trim border punch)
smallest vanilla: 2.5" x 3-3/8"

Supplies: 
Stamp Set: Bliss
Paper: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip
Ribbon: 1/8" pretty in pink
Tools: Big Shot, Framed Tulips embossing folder, scallop trim border punch
