Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!
This Positive Thoughts stamp setseems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.
I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.
This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.
I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.
You're going to love these fancy fold cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for this month's swap. I shared a few others yesterday and here are three more:
She used the Take a Bow DSP seen here and the Peaceful Christmas dies too. She wrote the 'Merry' greeting by hand. It's like a pocket card except the top is a fold that pulls up the inside like this:
She used the Christmas Friends stamp set (seen here) along with the Deckled Circle dies. Isn't her coloring fabulous? She has a knack for coloring with the Blends markers.
Next is an adorable card made by Sharon who chose the Sweetest Star bundle and also used the Take a Bow DSP.
She scored her colored Santa from center to each point and added it to the inside of her punched star window with two stacked dimensionals in the center. Love this idea! See the Sweetest Star bundle here.

Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team for our October card swap. The theme was winter or Christmas. And both of these cards feature Online Exclusive products! If you haven't shopped these items yet you're missing a huge selection of products! Click here to see them all.
Paula's card is made with the Iconic Imagery bundle. I cannot believe the amount of die-cutting she did on her cards; she made 14 of these!
Her gingham designer paper is also on Online Exclusive. I honestly cannot believe we haven't fun out of stock on this one. It's called Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper.See it here.
See that cute greeting & die-cut? They're both in the Iconic Imagery bundle.
Next is a beautiful sled card made by Deloris. Isn't this stunning? Did you notice she used the same gingham designer paper that Paula did above? It's the Green & Gold Specialty DSP.
She featured the Sophisticated Sled bundle seen here. You can find it in our Online Exclusives. It's a gorgeous set of stamps & dies. I especially love the sled made from wood DSP and gold foil. And those skates and laces are incredible!!
I love so many things about this card – the pretty dies and that fabulous Painted Trees 3D embossing folder too. I adhered the Season of Elegance DSP (seen here)to the Beige layer before I textured it. A neat trick to showcase them both.
Notice the 'Merry' die-cut layers. There isn't a coordinating larger die-cut for this so I cut this in half horizontally to add a nice gold layer above and below. *watch the video here or below to see how I did it.
It also shows off the pretty die-cuts once again. I really like the ribbon slots in three of the dies in the set. Here I used the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler/Gold satin ribbon seen here.
This Peaceful Season bundle is a big hit with many of my customers. It has beautiful die-cuts and the greetings are wonderful as well.
I'm sure the embossing folder caught your eye as well. It's the Forever Plaid 3D folder. It's one of our large folders so I could place the Beige CS on an angle.
I especially like this layout as it truly does not matter what size your DSP layers are. Simple offset them from each other to form an interesting mix.
**Did you know you can get the entire Season of Elegance Suite for just $99 (regular price $154.75)?! And shipping is free! Add it to your Starter kit here by October 31st. An incredible deal!
