I combined my favorite new bundle from the catalog, Art in Bloom. Notice the included embossing folder and dies!

ART IN BLOOM BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

This folder has the capability of embossing and cutting at the same time!

I also used this great grayish pattern Well Suited Designer Series Paper –

WELL SUITED 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

The two are so pretty together!

Notice the pretty flowers? Those were stamped then die cut and embossed at the same time!

The sentiment is also from the stamp set, I just stamped it and cut it apart for the card.

Check out all the terrific new ideas on the hop! We love to read compliments too!

The bundle comes with an embossing folder and a die this fits into place to emboss and die cut at the SAME time!!! Yes, it is a WOW!

I also added the embossed panel behind the flowers from the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder –

THANKS & HELLO EMBOSSING FOLDERS

I added the scallop border from the Scalloped Contour Dies. The paper below the scallops is from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.

Such a sweet pair of cards! Both of them!

Here is our newest color challenge –

Pretty color combination! I went with a modern twist –

I used the Art in Bloom stamp set –

ART IN BLOOM PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET

I also used the Stamparatus along with Bumblebee and Flirty Flamingo ink pads creating a nice background.
