Detailed Dogwood is a stamp set you can earn for FREE during SALE-A-BRATION. I love flowers and collecting stamps of southern flowers is a thing for me. I especially like how this stamp set includes some collage images, another one of my favorites:) Just look at the inside and envelope where I've used some of these collage pieces. The card base is Pecan Pie, and so is the next layer which I've embossed with Timeworn Type then sponged the edges with Pecan Pie ink. I stamped the dogwood cluster in Pecan Pie then colored it with alcohol ink markers (Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green). this was then adhered to Nature's Sweetness DSP. I stamped a few more pieces and glued them around the flowers and even stamped right on the DSP as well. It's all tied up with some Linen Thread.

Moooooo
These Cows ARE the cutest! The Cutest Cows bundle includes the stamp set and the punch. You can stamp cows and then punch, or simple punch out cow parts, which is what I did on these two cards.
For the first card, I used Cherry Cobbler as the card base. To get a realistic barn door effect, the card front was embossed with the retired Pinewood Planks embossing folder. The current Timber embossing folder would work equally as well for a barn texture. Next, I cut some 1/4" strips of white cardstock to glue an X in the middle and around the edges. For the door handle I used a strip of black and a couple very small circle punches.The grass was made from the Garden Meadow Dies.
Here are a whole bunch of Cow Puns to use with your Cutest Cow Bundle:
This card was made with a Granny Apple Green card base. The arch shape, the fence, and the grass were made with Garden Meadow dies, then embossed with Timeworn Type embossing folder.

Nature's Sweetness Suite
The Nature's Sweetness Suite in the Spring Catalog is really quite something. On this card, I stamped right on the DSP for some collage type background. I took a piece of the DSP, tore it on one side, flipped it around and glued to the back for a nice contrast.

This die cuts out holes with a perferation down the middle. I used it on the card base and then threaded the faux leather/gold trim in the holes. What a cool thing!

Sneak Peeks Spring Catalog 2024
These two sets are not the typical florals and the different looks you can achieve with them are great! On the first one, I used my Paper Snips Scissors to cut a small slit in the end then pulled so that it unraveled. I then used the ribbon and raveling piece to make a bow for a rustic look. One of the cool things about these two bundles is that the dies cut out images from the DSP. I just love that!
