My first card use Embrace Beauty which is concepted by Jami Sibley and illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes Collection. It is a full sized set on a 5.75" x 8.5" full color sturdy storage panel and includes 9 images/sentiments.

Embrace Beauty is designed for use with Spellbinders Fleur de Lis dies, Spellbinders classic circles, and a 1 ¾” circle punch. It coordinates with Summer Afternoon and Discover Your Wings full sized stamp sets.

I stamped one of the beautiful images right on my DP. I used the largest die in the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die set to mount the image. My papers are Lily Bee - Picket Fence 6x6 Tiny Tablet. To form my bottom border I layered to rows of grass cut with the new Grass Border on the fence cut with the Pickett Fence border die.

I added pearls to my die and used distress ink on the edges. I stamped a sentiment from the set, machine stitiching and ribbon to finish off the card.

My next card uses Bugabee which is concepted by Charmaine Ikach and illustrated by Taylor VanBruggen for the *TE* Collection. It is a full sized set on a 5.75" x 8.5" full color sturdy storage panel and includes 27images/sentiments.


This is a super fun set that allows you to combine and layer images to create lady bugs, bees, butterflies, and flowers and comes with big bold sentiments to create happy greetings. This stamp set coordinates with:

Bugabee Bug Dies - set of 6 dies to create layered ladybugs, bees and butterflies

Bugabee Flower Dies - set of 6 dies to create flowers with our without the coordinating stamps

Grass Border Die -  6 " long - this is a die you'll use and use and use!

Lots of Dots Impression Plate - one plate with 2 sides.  The impression plates work well with the Embossing Pad Kit.

To make my lady bugs I die cut their bodies from black cardstock. Then I stamped their wings with Memento Lady Bug and die cut them out. Love the way the die punches the holes in the wings!! I stamped the frame that is included in the stamp set in black and then "thanks" in red. I added two row of grass cut with the new Grass Border and flowers cute with the Bugabee Flowers Dies.

I added black glaze pen to the swirls. My papers are Hometown Summer 6x6 Paper Pack.
