Sweet Strawberry set and Strawberry Builder Punch

 This card uses the retired Sweet Strawberry set, with

Strawberry Builder punch.  They are just a wonderful combination.

 I colored the berries and leaves

with Stampin' Blends.  The retired Berry Delightful DSP

was used as a background layer.

Bird Banter Happier Than Happy Owl

 This card combines the Happier Than Happy set, bundled with

the Happy Forest Dies, layered on to 

retired Beauty of the Earth DSP.  I really like this combination

for a more adult theme.  The sentiment comes from the retired

Bird Banter set, cut out with a die from the Meadows Dies.

Tulip Dies with New Horizons

 For this card, I used the Tulip dies to cut out the

New Horizons DSP.  This save you the trouble of trying

to color the petals and creates a really nice texture.

Paradise Palms with Oceanfront

 This is a fun, clean and simple card using the Palms dies.

I simply masked out a circle and used dies from the

Oceanfront set to stamp the beachy background.

I then cut out a Palm and layered it over the backdrop.

I added the sentiment from the Paradise Palms set.

He's the Man Specialty DSP

 I love the He's the Man Specialty DSP.  It's the best thing

since sliced bread with a slab of butter on it, for making

masculine cards.  I would never have put these colors

together, but they work so well.  The elements that coordinate 

with the DSP reflect the background paper.  Love it!

Amazing Silhouettes with Quiet Meadow

 This card features several In Colors, including Tahitian

Tide, Orchid Oasis and Polished Pink.  I colored the stamp

from Amazing Silhouettes with several colors before stamping.

I then added some speckles from the Quiet Meadow set.

I used the Plenty of Patterns Layering Decorative Mask to 

add a background and then ran the card base through an

embossing folder.  The sentiment comes from the Well

Written Dies.  Finally, I punched the edge of the Polished

Pink layer with the retired Tab Punch.
