Potted Succulents Dies

 For this project, I made a mask out of the Potted Succulents

die, coloring it with Stampin Blends.  I cut out the sentiment with

another die from this set, and layered everything up.

Soft Seedlings

 This card features the Soft Seedlings set from the

July-December mini catalog.  This set is so pretty,

and features lovely sentiments that look hand penned.

Build a Butterfly

 This is a card that I made while stamping with good friends

Mary and Jo.  The butterflies come from the Build A Butterfly

dies.  I'm fond of calling them "bulky butterflies".  I used a 

layer of retired DSP, with the butterfly layer cut out with the

retired Stitched So Sweetly dies.  I liked the 90º positioning

of the background layers.

All the Good Things

 Every once in a while I have to bring back on old set.

This is All the Good Things, and also includes some

lovely Koi fish, which remind me of gardens I have seen.

I love the option to color components of these images

 with markers.

Heron Habitat Bundle

 I enjoy the Heron Habitat bundle because the set

has so many images and dies that are perfect together. 

Even the sentiments have beautiful shapes that go so well

with the animal and grassy components.  The other feature

is that you can use them together, or individually, as

your creative juices dictate!  I like to add some texture

to the background, to pull it all together.

Happier Than Happy Bundle

 This card features the Happier than Happy Bundle 

(Happier than Happy set with Happy Forest dies).  I love

all the cute images that help bring the forest to life.  The

bear looks like it is pointing, or holding up a sign, so it makes

it easy to set up the card elements.  For this card, I used

a retired Embossing Folder as the background.
