Sending Thank-you with Flowers

I’m having lots of fun playing with colors, stamps, dies, and sequins and wanted to share another card I created using these amazing products from Pretty Pink Posh  Also, joining in the challenge with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with Anything Goes theme week.

This Bold Blooms set is fantastic and so much fun to play with. I kept stamping several flowers using different colors. Plus, the Coordinating Die comes in so handy when you want to add one more leaf and/or one more flower. 

Once again, I'm using these awesome Scallop Hexagon Dies to create the shaker portion of the card. Since the Stitched Hexagon Dies fit perfectly with these dies and look awesome combined, I used them both. 

Therefore, I started out by using the largest size from the set along with blue card stock to use as my base. 

From there, I worked on the shaker portion of the card by using the mid-size dies from both, Stitched and Scallop Hexagon dies.

I love all of the latest new sequin colors so I combined 4mm NavyMini Sparkling Clear flowers and 4mm Champagne.  

Once I saw this Thoughtful Greetings set, I fell in love since it has fabulous sentiment sayings along with the combination of large and small fonts. Therefore, I decided to split one of the sayings to use a portion inside the shaker and the other portion on the bottom of the card with white embossing powder. 

To add a decorated border, I used one of the new Scallop Borders 2 dies and laid it down as a slanted curve before die cutting.

At the end, I added some foam mount under the little flowers and leaves to pop them up.

Friends with Woodland Critters

I'm so happy to be able to craft again after undergoing medical issues that prevented me from doing what I love. All I can say is that I'm grateful as life can be such a daily challenge, but I wanted to share what I did with these amazing Pretty Pink Posh products and sequins.
This Woodland Critters set is so darn cute with so many adorable animals and sentiments that I couldn't resist but to make this fun upright card. Love the size of this amazing bear where you feel like hugging him, at least for me, and so easy to cut out using the Coordinating die as it's a perfect match. 

Once again, I'm absolutely in love with these new Scallop Hexagon Dies as I enjoy the scallops inverted as it adds a nice touch to the frame. Plus, the dies nicely cut through cardstock and fun foam to create this heaxgon shaker card. I enjoy creating an upright card so the recipent can place it anywhere to view. Here, I'm using the largest size from the set.

For this card, I originally started out by die cutting the card using the Stitched Hexagon Dies and than added the scallop frame on top to add more details, plus it's cute. They are a perfect fit together.
After adding some clouds and grass to the scene, I used one of the sentiments from the set as I adore the font combination of large and small. Don't you? Next, I couldn't resist but to use some new sequin colors so I combined 4mm Navy and Mini Sparkling Clear flowers which is one of my new favorites.

I decorated the inside of the card using a sentiment and the banner from the
Birdie Friends set as well as cutting off the legs of the banner to just have the saying outlined. Than I added some foam mount to pop it up which helps to hold the card upright so one can place anywhere.
