Good Morning & Happy Saturday, Everyone!
Hope your having a great start to your weekend!
I've got a pretty set of Valentine's Day cards to share that I made last week for Audrey.
This is the last set that I made for her. I do have some baby cards to share soon that were also part of her order but next week I have some really cool things to show that I made for myself! LOL
This set uses the Country Bouquet stamp set and the Country Bouquet Punch. I wish this set would have come with dies because there are so many cute images in the set that would be so nice not to have to fussy cut! I am not a fussy cutter because it makes my hands hurt but sometimes I do give things a whirl but I pay for it later! This set comes with a coordinating punch which is a great thing but I still think dies would have been wonderful.
Also on this set of cards I decided to try something called Stack & Shuffle.
Take a look and i'll explain after the pictures...
I have seen many different demo's sharing this but it was when I saw LeeAnne Greff share her cards with this technique that made me want to give it a try!
You start out with 4 different sheets of DSP that measure 6 x 6.
Also be mindful of a directional pattern.
Then you cut them in your paper trimmer all together at one time.
Here is a diagram on how to cut your DSP.
So you stack your papers to cut then you have to shuffle them around on your cardbase, Such a brilliant idea!
There are so many stamp companies today that sell their papers in 6 x 6 size so this technique would be so easy to try!
Card Details:
Stamps: Country Bouquet
Ink: Sweet Sorbet, Mint Macaron
Cardstock: Sweet Sorbet, Basic White, Country Floral Lane DSP
Accessories: Country Bouquet Punch, Something Fancy Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
I hope you give it a try!
I know you will love it if your looking for something different!

What a cool and fun way to use those designer papers we all have in our stash! Love these colors and wonderful the fun Valentine theme too! Thanks for sharing that template - I need to try this :) Enjoy your weekend!
What a great idea, especially with DSPs that coordinate! I'll have to give this a try!
Came over by way of Carol's blog. Love your card, but I really love how you used those beautiful papers! Such a great idea for those paper pads we all have or even left over snippets. Thanks so much for sharing the measurements. New PA follower. Hugs, Brenda
I too came here from Carol's blog - what a GREAT idea this is! If you use snippets we'd love to see you join in the fun over at The Snippets Playground sometime!
