MY CARDS:

I noticed after creating my cards for this release that I used the color green a lot. After thinking about it for a second, I realized I was desperate for the trees to start budding and the grass to turn green around here. It's been another long winter, so green was on my mind, I guess. Lol! 

This first card uses the Hopping Hexagons embossing folder. I added a bit of color with yellow and green inks, then attached a die cut sentiment. Makes for a quick and easy thank you card!

Next up is the pretty, Poised Primula die set. This is such a sweet set!

For my third card, I played with the fun, Mosaic Petals stencil set. I can think of so many awesome color combos to use with this set! I chose purple, yellow - and yes - green! 

How about a cute shaker for my final card? The Wavy Background stamp is really cool! I decided it'd be fun to use it for a congratulations card. And again, we have some green, with a bit of aqua mixed in this time.

I'm still playing with more of the products from the release and will be sharing more cards on my Instagram page over the weekend and into next week. I'd love for you to stop by!

That's it for me today. 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 thanks so much for stopping by!
