Gina K Designs' March Release Hop, Day 3

Today is the day I get to show you cards I've made using my latest Lovely Labels 3 set. As you probably already know, I love my Spellbinders Nestabilities and have an affection for anything vintage. Add to that the need I had for masculine labels...so I just had to design this set! :-). I also had the military and expats (which I am) in mind when I added the sentiments.

For my first card, I used the labels to make this vintage masculine card. Who said we can't use lace on a masculine card? :-). I die cut one of Spellbinders' Elegant Posts for the post.
LL3 Card 4
This next one is a quick card to make and used up some ribbon scraps. I die cut the label image with the Oval Nesties, so you don't have to use the specific labels the stamps were designed for.
LL3 Card 2
This card uses Rupa's Cute as a Bug set. I created a scene using Echo Park's Springtime papers. I just love the sentiment, which was die cut and sponged using SB Grommet Tags dies, that came with the image.
Cute as a Bug
Finally, I have Tami Mayberry's Perfect Pennants on this card. I die cut the banners borders and tassels from the SB Basic Banners dies. The papers are also from EP Springtime.
Per Pennants
Check out what the rest of the GKD team has created using these new stamps:
