First Edition book card

Hello,
When I first saw Deb Joy Smeak of "Delight of My Art" make this book card, I knew I had to try it. She called it an Elegant book, and I thought it looked like one of those First Edition books. I used two different corners for these two cards from the Joyful Squares dies.
Here is the inside of the card.
This is another color version.
And the inside.
And here's another version with a different style of corner.

Here are the pieces you need to make one yourself.
Here is the full video tutorial.

Phrases and Frames cards

Hello,
I really like the Phrases and Frames bundle, nice sentiments and really great frames. I used the Impressions Plate to make the designs really "pop."
I made a sampler to showcase the bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) and you can really see the difference when you use the Impressions Plate in the Cut and Emboss machine. Can you see the how deeper the die cuts are?
Here is a card where I added some die cuts from Bordered in Beauty. I love how both bundles look together and I really love layering two different colors of the trim dies at the bottom.
                       
Another one with different color butterflies.
Here is another card, this time a "Happy Anniversary" one.
Can you see the "trim" I used in the bottom right corner? It was created with the negative of the trim dies from the other cards, pretty cool, right?

Forever Florals card

Hello,
These cards use the dies from the Forever Florals bundle. Such a simple, yet elegant card that "WOWs!"  It's the largest die with the sentiment stamped and embossed with White Embossing powder.
This one uses Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock as the background.

This one uses Lemon Lime Twist.

Which do you prefer? 
Crisp Cantaloupe or Lemon Lime Twist? 
Portrait or Landscape?  Let me know.

Mixing Bordered in Beauty bundle and Eyelet Blooms die cards

Hello,
I love using different bundles and dies together, sometimes I forget to "mix things up." I usually default to just the bundle or the suite only.
For these cards I used three of the Everyday Arches dies, Eyelet Blooms dies, and the butterfly stamp and coordinating dies in different colors.
Here are three different versions:

I used the same ink on the coordinating paper, but Barely Blush was too light, so I used Berry Burst on the Barely Bluch.

The key to using the dies and the Eyelet Blooms dies, remember to die cut the arches first, then run it through the Eyelet Blooms.  Otherwise putting it through the arch dies after the Eyelet die will "smooch" the delicate holes. You can do it either way, it's the way I did it to maintain the elegant eyelets.


And I made a border using the Bordered in Beauty die that was my favorite for a possible scrapbook page.
