the perfect card front layer!

Hello!  Yesterday some great new dies were released at The Stamps of Life.  I showed you the super fun Hello My Friend circle  yesterday, and today I'm going to show you the large rectangle.  Yes, I said rectangle.. rectangles actually, there's 2. :) That doesn't sound very impressive, does it?  but guess what?  IT'S GENIUS!  Seriously, I can't live without them now, and I've been using them on most of my cards.  Here's the card I made as an actual example/sample:

The striped paper was cut with the largest rectangle and the bee with the other: perfectly layered card front!  I don't know how I manage to do it (I blame my cutter), but often I cut my layers crooked, which really bugs me!  or I don't measure with a ruler, I just eye ball it holding it up to the paper.... sometimes ends up too big or too small.........  who knew two rectangle dies would make me so happy.  :) 
Also on this card, I used the happycalligraphy2stamp stamp for the sentiment, and the honeycomb die from the Sizzix Bee Triplit die set, and a flower from the mini flower die set. AND! the paper is TSOL, too!  It's from the Blessings collection.
