Kimberly created this awesome card by cutting out four arrows with our new Points & Plumes die set through the front of her card. The color you see is from the inside of the card! So fun! The sentiment is from the Adventure Awaits stamp set.

Adventure is waiting card by Stephanie Muzzulin | Points & Plumes dies & Adventure Awaits stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook
Stephanie found the perfect arrow paper to create her card! She used the fun papers to frame the sentiment from the Adventure Awaits stamp set. Then she finished it off with the die cut arrow from the Points & Plumes die set.
