I recently won a gift card to Whimsy Stamps from the Lunar New Year Challenge, and I purchased the Postage Window A2 Die Set with my gift card. Here I paired it with Altenew's Bright Blooms Die Set and a butterfly from Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Butterfly Bush as well as Altenew's Labels and Tags 1 Die Set and Altenew's One-Go: Solid Sentiments 3 Press Plate and Coordinating Die.
I used the following papers from Your Paper Insider: Bright Gold Gloss Glitter, Canary Yellow Shimmer Cardstock, Pumpkin Colormates Cardstock, Black with Color Florals: Yuzenshi, White Holographic Confetti, Jr (all from Box 13) and Violet Thai Unryu from Box 12. This card was fun and easy to create, and I think the next time I use the Postage Window, I will try a shaker card with it.
