This month it is all about FLORALS and FLUTTERS.

Florals & Flutters Cardmaking Kit

My first cards use the cardmaking kit along with 6x6 maps to make creating multiple cards a cinch!  For my cards, I've used the Take Two - Beads & Blooms Stencil with Bleu Cheese cardstock and coordinating ink.  Each card uses the new sentiment set, Softly Spoken, white heat embossed.

My second card uses a softer palette of colors including Royal Icing, Pineapple, and Sweet Corn ink.  This panel was gold foiled with Champagne Fun Foil using my Mini Minc.  Sentiment is from an older set called Hello Lovely.  The foiled panel was die cut using the Additional Arched Stacklets Dies along with the Petite Arched Stacklets Dies.

APRIL was decorated with A Tisket A Tasket Die Set - Easter along with a die cut sun from Here Comes the Sun Die Set.

MAY was decorated with A Tisket A Tasket Die Set in fresh, spring colors.

JUNE was decorated with the Let it Grow collection of stencil and dies.
