I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects as well! 

MY CARDS:

I've got a few cards to share with you today. I loved playing with some of the products from this awesome release! Up first is this soft, pretty design created using the Daisy Oval Frame die set.



I kept the colors basically the same for my next card because I thought they were perfect for a cute wedding design. This is the adorable, To the Happy Couple stamp and die set! The background is again kept soft, using the fun, Dash and Dot stencil.



Okay, next up is this fun and colorful rainbow design! I just had to make it a shaker! I used the fabulous, Sunrise Overlay embossing folder, along with Simon's new, Starshine Embellishment Mix.



For my last card, I created a very simple design using the beautiful, Organic Leaves, 6x6 clear stamp and some pretty, green ink colors. I matted it onto some gold cardstock, then added a gold, die cut sentiment. 



And that's a wrap for me. I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products from this fabulous release!

Enjoy the rest of the hop and thank you so much for stopping by!

There's a lot to love in this collection of cards you've made. I love that you simplified the oval frame set a bit and it coordinates with the sweet colors you used for the happy couple card.
