MY CARDS:
First up is the beautiful, Alstroemeria die. I love how this die comes with a few extra petals for layering. I did some simple Copic coloring and used an oval die, an embossing folder and a die cut sentiment, all older products from Simon, to complete my card.
Next I have a card I created using the Dimensional Cubes stencil set. This set is fantastic! I mean, the possibilities are endless! Is this cool, or what?!
I must have been into blues and greens when I was creating these cards. Lol! Does that ever happen to you? The Talavera Vine cling stamp is another wonderful product from the release. I white embossed it, then used some Distress Inks for the resist technique. And adding sparkle is always a good idea!
And yes, there's some blue in my next card too. What can I say, it IS my favorite color. This is such a darling stamp set! It's called Born to Sparkle and I know it's gonna sell fast, so go grab it quick if you want it! It's so fun to play with for a slimline scene! And there are so many other images in this set. I only used a few.
Okay, so that's it for me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products from this wonderful release! Next up on the hop is the very talented, Jennifer Kotas!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Oh Wow! You created so many beautiful cards! I especially LOVE your first one..so elegant! I ordered that flower die along with the hummingbird die and can't wait till they get here!
I did not realize the die came with extra dies for layering. The way the bloom weaves around the oval is stunning. Very very pretty.

Dear Barb - You're such a phenomenal papercrafter and example for us! I love the cards you've shared here. I agree that the Dimensional Cubes stencil set from Miriam is amazing!! I also loved your alstroemeria card - simple at first glance, but actually a lot going on. The "You Shine" card is uber-elegant!! The Talavera Vine is such a pretty stamp and you've showed it to excellent advantage in your card. The You Sparkle card is adorable - Alberto did a fabulous job!
