I have two cards to share today and I'm excited to get started!  

Best Friends are Like Thighs...

This sentiment cracks me up!  "Best friends are like thighs...they stick together!"  How fun for a friend card!  This sentiment is from the new Galentine's Day stamp set.  What is Galentine's Day you ask?  Well, I looked that up for you and found this explanation:

Galentine's Day is a holiday Amy Poehler's Parks and Rec character Leslie Knope created that occurs every year on Feb. 13, the day before Valentine's Day. As Leslie herself explains on the show:

"Oh, it's only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies."  

So...now that you know that, on to the card!

First I started with the free gift with a $75 purchase Quilted Stitched So Knotty die for the background of the card. I love the texture it added.  I die cut the animals with the Farm Love Dies and then stamped the images with the coordinating Farm Love Stamp Set and colored them with copics.  What an adorable set!  And I love that this set can be used for so many occasions including Valentine's Day, Birthdays, Belated Birthdays, friendship, etc! 

For the sentiment I die cut one of the stitched Wonky Rectangle Dies out of patterned paper and then stamped the sentiment from the Galentine's Day stamp set.  The little red hearts, stamped with Rockin' Red ink, come from the Love is Love stamp set.   I popped up the sentiment panel and the animals.

You're the Thelma to my Louise

This sentiment is, of course, a nod to the 1991 movie Thelma & Louise who were BFF's. :)  I went rainbow crazy on this card.

I started by die cutting the super cute Quilted Stitched XOXO die in 8 different colors of cardstock.  Then, I cut each piece a part by rows for each color creating lots of wonderful rainbow colored strips!  I have made so many rainbow cards with these strips which I'll be sharing over the next few weeks.  

I used the Love is Love dies to spell out LOL (Laugh Out Loud) and also used the Quilted Stitched XOXO die to create the fun pattern on the letters also.  I popped those up with dimensional tape.  I then heat embossed the sentiment from the  Galentine's Day stamp set in white.
