  Greetings die cut fans, today I am excited to share my first creation for Dies R Us  .  The cheery card features Sizzix's Geo Trio.    As I am always looking at new way to use my dies, I decided to try cutting my die in a "repeating" fashion to create multiple windows!   I was in a "purple' mood and chose purple shades for my 5 x 7 card, but you can easily adapt the card to any color or size. So lets get started.  Start by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 4 3/4 x 6 1/2.
