I've used mainly the core kit along with one of the add-ons for my cards today. My first card uses this awesome silhouette die cut image of a cafe. I die cut it out of white cardstock and layered it over a panel of blended Cracked Pistachio, Scattered Straw, and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks. After stamping a simple black sentiment, I added a very thin black frame to finish this off.
*******************
My second card uses the add-on, Distressed Tile Bold Prints. I've clear heat embossed the background onto a kraft cardstock. Using a standard circle die, I die cut the bottom right corner out of the cardstock. This panel was added to a white notecard with foam adhesive over a background of splattered Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I added 2 to go coffee cups and hand trimmed my own cozies. These were added with foam adhesive to the cutout portion and stamped my sentiment.

Cool looking cards - that die is wonderful to make that lovely scene :)
Two of my favorite products from this release! LOVE the pastels on your background--so pretty! And yay for guesting with HA!
I like what you did with the cafe die.
Those are two beautiful backgrounds! This card kit rocks.
Looks like a great kit. I seem to be as addicted to coffee stamp sets as I am to coffee itself! Thanks for sharing a creative way to use this kit! I especially liked seeing the large cafe die cut on a card.
Yes to both cards, love the coffee theme and colors you used. Thanks for sharing.
I love this cafe die cut. My Son and Daughter-in-law have been to Paris and Spain several times and just the descriptions, I can see this cafe in either one of these places. Beautiful.
That blended background is just gorgeous, Amy!

Such great ways to use this release! I love your silhouette card and can't wait to play with these new products!
These are both great, but the first, with the frame die is my favorite. Gorgeous coloring.
Such an adorable kit! Your cards are both very cute!! TFS
Yes! I love how you use the die cut. I am new to blending inks as I just bought my first set (3 sets) of Distressed Inks today. Can't wait to try them.
Love your cards. I appreciate the your second card is a bit more masculine. I liked that you made your own cup cozies too!
such a lovely creation...love the color combination and the layout of the cards.
Great cards Amy. Your the first one is so enchanting with the gorgeous die and lovely colours and the second one I think is more masculine. Love them both, thank you for showing.
These are simply fabulous, Amy! Love that blended background on the first card and the distressd tile on the second with the splatters is just perfection. Loveeeeee! :)
I just love your beautiful pastel background! That fancy background die is going to be so much fun. I can’t wait to get my kit and start creating!!
Your pretty pastel background really sets off the cute cafe scene and I love the Bold Prints Tile background - looks great on kraft cardstock!
Great ideas. I really like how you did the background with the cups.
They are beautiful and sweet cards.
My favorite is the soft background with the cafe frame die.
Thank you for the inspirations!
You know, I wasn’t a huge fan of the Distressed Tile Bold Prints stamp until I saw your card. Love that you made it layered by cutting a circle off of the bottom corner too. And the background colors you used on the first card are gorgeous together. Thanks for sharing :)
I love the distress blending on the cafe scene card
This is stunning. I completely missed that there was a silhouette die of the cafe. I can't wait until mine arrives!!
These are so good <3
Love the background behind the cafe die! Fabulous cards :)
I have to say that the background is so lovely. The entire card is wonderful but I'm wishing my blending could be so smooth. TFS!
Great cards! I wasn't sure about the background stamp but great way to feature it. I like it a lot. TFS
I just love the background you created to set of that fabulous restaurant scene!!!
Love this! Love the dies and the colours you used!
Fantabulous card! LOVE those colors!! Nicely done! I thank you for sharing!
What sweet and lovely cards! Love the soft blended background on the first and the background die on the second card is so versatile.

Both cards are wonderful in their own way: the lovely pastel background and the tile each has its own "flavor." Thank you!
Super sweet cards, Amy! I love the cups in the cut out center, so fun. And it looks like you and Laurie were on the same wavelength with the rainbow background, love it!
I love coffee and this kit! I can’t wait to receive mine! Thank you HA and design team for sharing your creativity and inspiration!
Oh my ! That super soft blended background is a delight !!
