Birthday Dress Card

Today I'm going to share with you a card that I made using the scraps of  Ruffle Stretch trim and the Dress Up Framelits both of these items are on the retirement list. The sentiment is from Thats the Ticket Stamp set which has a co ordinating punch - Ticket Duo Builder. Remember that there are only 12 days of our current catalogues left, to place your order before its tooooooo late. Happy Stampin'  Sue
