Charming Day Sneak Peek!

This one is TOO pretty to pass up! The "Floral Charm" Suite coming in July as one of the newest Online Exclusives was absolutely gorgous on my preorder screen - but to open the box and pull it all out was even better!!

This new suite is my absolute favorite so far this year. Why? It has ALL the elements that are my favorites: 1) My favorite colors (puples and pinks) are paired up with my favorite season - Fall! The oranges and greens in the fall colors are so soft and can be used with more neutral tones or even bright fall colors.

2) This has the perfect mix of stamps with matching dies AND stand alone dies! Whether you enjoy stamping, coloring and then die cutting beautiful flowers for a project, or using stand alone dies for a creative bouquet, this set of dies offers BOTH. The etching on the stand alone dies is so soft and delicate, yet the cardstock pops out easily without having to "pick" a bunch of tiny pieces out from inside the die itself. There are five stand alone flowers, buds and leaves to mix and match. All three floral image stamps have a die to cut them out as well. The lightly etched pieces in the stand alone dies pairs *so* nicely with the Textured Notes dies as well - here's the more "up close" view:

Adding details to this suite will be so easy. The little package of bling that is included with the suite and the beautiful ribbon will help projects take on completely different looks. I used our Bubble Bath Stampin' Blends to color some linen thread added a small touch of color around the greeting. Recognize that retired punch? It's our old Ticket Duo Punch that matches this particular greeting perfectly. I am not sure about you, but I have a thing for small greetings. Making the card scene the focal point and adding a smaller greeting is usually my style, so when we sell a punch that works for smaller greetings I *aways* snap one up to use in future projects. Thanks for looking today, enjoy the sunshine if you've got it!
