To make the You Are the Sunshine card, we cut Old Olive, Garden Green, and Shaded Spruce Cardstock using the rotary attachment on the Take Your Pick tool. Note: if you use this attachment, be sure to cut on a mat or a glass surface. We adhered the cardstock to our Soft Sea Foam card base and added a few flowers that we cut from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper using the knife blade attachment.

To make the Hello, Friend card, we drew a line in pencil diagonally across a square of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper to outline where we wanted to cut. We used the knife blade attachment to cut across the paper, then we cut out a daisy and a few extra leaves. We adhered the Designer Series Paper and additional flowers and leaves to a panel of Gray Granite Cardstock. On the left side of the panel, we pierced holes into the cardstock using the paper piercer attachment.

We had so much fun using the Take Your Pick tool in our card making. Try out the tool this week and see how many fun projects you can make!
