My first card for today uses the new Budding Beauties: Spring stamp set paired with the new Painterly Stripes background and a few older favorites that accent these cards so well! It seemed that you all liked that I used some previously released sets yesterday as well, so I hope these make you happy as well!

To begin this series of cards, I die cut a BUNCH of the budding beauties shapes and then worked on them assembly line style, switching colors as I went! Once that was done, I got to work on the jars and bottles.  This card uses the mason jar from the Just Mason Around stamp set and the coordinating Just Mason Around dies. I had fun playing around with different colored flowers, jars, and bottles!

I also used the Postal Frames Dies, which have been a favorite with this release, and the Pretty Postmarks stamp set. The Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You stamp set and the Sentiment Suite Basics die added just the right touch! I think there's a lot of people that we've been thinking more fondly and frequently about!

Each of the cards in this series is similar in feel and form, but with a few tweaks here and there. I only ended up with this one photo of this lone card, but this is one of my favorites! I paired the Mason jar with one of the bottles from the Bottled Up stamp set. I used the "Happy Spring" and "wishes" sentiments that are included in the new Budding Beauties stamp set, but the label outline and center line image are from the Bottled Up set. I just love the blue background paired with these bright yellow tulips!

Before I started on the bottles, I had created a host of backgrounds using the Painterly Stripes background and lots of fun springy cards. It was so fun to use them trimmed down on the Postal Frames or just 4 by 5 1/4 inches like this one! 

Of course I couldn't resist adding a few more postal elements to this design as well! I used the heart from the Pretty Postmarks set popped up in the upper right side.

This one uses a single bottle with the fun sentiments from the Just Mason Around stamp set. I just love the cherry blossom stamp; it pairs so nicely with the tulips. There is a baby's breath stamp as well, and I inked up four of them, but didn't end up by using any of them. 

Each card has a trio of sparkling clear sequins here and there for some added detail and shine!

This is my last card in the series; this is one of my favorites because it is so cheery! My kids are home because of the COVID-19 situation, so they've been seeing me make quite a few cards. My sweet son asked me " what inspired me to start making cards". We had a fun conversation about that. My daughter was watching me while I was making this particular card and I gasped when I stamped the "thinking of you" sentiment crooked! She said it looked fine, but fine wasn't going to cut it! LOL! I told her this was a "make it work moment" and I lopped the crooked sentiment off and added the panel to the white card base!

I had originally stamped the sentiment on the right hand side of the yellow stamped background, but moved the panel over to the right and added the sentiment to the left hand side! What do you think? Did I make it work? LOL! I really like how it turned out!

I'm so in love with this next collection of stamps; the Fresh Air Collection, which technically, the entire release is called that, but this is the actual stamp/die set that bears the name! I had so much fun on all of my budding beauties cards, that I only have this lone card to share using this set, but man-oh-man, it is coming right back out for me to play!

This is one of those fun and versatile collections; for this card I used the Fresh Air stamp set ***die delayed*** and the window frame die ***die delayed***. I also used the Brick Layer die as well, which is so much fun!

I was going for a Mediterranean look for this and when my daughter saw it she said it reminded her of Mama Mia! I was so happy she got that vibe!

This is a very simple design, but with all of the special details like the die cut brick and window frame, it really makes it feel special! I added a simple "hello there" to the top, which is included in the set. All of the sentiments are perfect for our current situation and any card made with these would brighten anyone in quarantine right now! I added some grey ink blending around the edges to make it seem like an older structure! I hope you've enjoyed today's reveals! Everything will be available for purchase on March 27th at 10 AM EST! Thanks for fluttering by!
