All three of these cards feature the Cup stamp mounted on Embossed Backgrounds and Die Cuts.  The Cups were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Stampin' Blends and then fuzzy cut.

For this first card I used the Night of Navy and Old Olive Stampin' Blend Sets to color the Cup.

I used Blueberry Bushel CS for the bottom mat and also cut the sentiment from the same paper using the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies.

The top mat is Old Olive CS and was embossed using the Country Floral Embossing Folder.

I cut a Doily out of Whisper White CS using the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies.

The layers were all attached using Tape Runner, but I popped up the Cup using Dimensionals.

For this second Card I used Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend Sets to color the Cup.

I used Pear Pizzazz CS for the bottom mat and to cut the frame piece using two of the Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies.

The top mat was cut from Cajun Craze CS and embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

The sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a scrap piece of Pear Pizzazz CS using a stamp from Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.  The outside frame for the sentiment was cut from Whisper White CS and the 2 pieces were taped together using Tear & Tape Adhesive strips.

The Background piece behind the Cup was cut from a scrap Whisper White CS using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies.

The layers were all attached using Tape Runner, but I popped up the Sentiment and the Cup using Dimensionals.

For this third card I used Balmy Blue, Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin Blend Sets to color the cup.

I used Pear Pizzazz CS for the bottom mat and also used the inside piece that remained when I cut  the frame piece for the card above.  I used one of the Layering Square Framelits Dies to cut a square from the center of the piece.

The top mats was cut from Dapper Denim CS and embossed using the Tufted Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is from the kit and was stamped in Dapper Denim ink and cut using a die from Petals & More Thinlits.

I wrapped 2 pieces of Balmy Blue Organza Ribbon to the ends of the top mat before attaching all the pieces together using Tape Runner, though the cup and sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals.

I finished all 3 cards by attaching some Rhinestones.

All 3 of these cards feature the YOU picture from the kit.  And I chose to make the cards pretty much as suggested in the kit with the exception of color scheme and sentiment.

In each case I began by attaching with Tape Runner the picture to the Basic Gray Mat that came in the kit, centering the 2 pieces.

The sentiment I choose to use was the Celebrate die from the Celebrate You Thinlits.

This top card was mounted on Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and the die was cut from the same color and mounted to above the word YOU on the mat.

I used Fresh Fig Cardstock for the bottom mat and die cut for this second card.

And used So Saffron Cardstock for this third card.

I finished off each of the cards by adding 3 Rhinestone in the bottom right of the card front.

 I cut the picture for this card to 3-1/4" x 3-3/4".

Then I cut a 2" x 5" strip of Poppy Parade CS,  used the Triple Banner Punch to cut both ends, then cut it into 2 pieces  I used Tape Runner to attach the pieces to the picture as shown.

The sentiment is from the Home To Roost stamp set and was stamped on the picture using Poppy Parade ink.

I attached the picture with the attached banners to one of the Gray Mats that came with the kit, and then attached the mat to a White Card Base and added a few Rhinestones.

This second card is very similar as I used the same color scheme.I cut the picture piece down to a 3-3/4" square.

And then attached to the bottom mat of Shaded Spruce CS and attached to a White Card Base.

I added a bow tied with Coordinating Twine and a few Rhinestones to finish off the card.

Next I stamped 4 images using the Cup stamp from the kit onto scrap pieces of Whisper White CS using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut them.

For this first card I mounted the piece on a bottom mat (5-1/4" x 4") of Mossy Meadow CS that I embossed using the Country Floral Embossing folder.

I began by stamping the insert for the cards.  This first one was stamped in Crushed Curry and Old Olive inks onto a piece of Whisper White CS 4-1/2" x 3-1/4" and mounted onto a piece of Crushed Curry CS 4-3/4' x 3-1/2".

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and was stamped with Crushed Curry ink.

Then I created the pocket for the insert by die cutting a piece of Whisper White CS with the Edgelit die from the coordinating Lovely Flower dies.  I trimmed the piece of WW CS to 4" wide  x 4-1/4" tall (to the top of the die cut).

I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Old Olive ink.  The stamped the 2 flowers from Forever Lovely in Crushed Curry ink (2nd generation stamping) across the sentiment as shown.  Then added the leaf sprigs and hearts in the same colors as shown using other dies from the set.

Lastly glued the card front onto a  5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White CS mat to form the pocket, mounted  it onto a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" base using a thin line of Tombow glue on the sides and bottom edges .  Let it dry completely before inserting the other inside mat to complete the pocket card.

This version of the card was stamped using Highland Heather and Old Olive inks and Highland Heather CS.

And this version of the card was stamped using Peekaboo Peach and Mossy Meadow inks and Peekaboo Peach CS.

These two A2 size cards feature the Falling Flower stamp set from Stampin' Up!

For this first card I used a piece of Whisper White CS for the top mat and created a background using what I call a "texture stamp" -  this one is from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set.

Then I stamped the  flowering branch from the Falling Flower stamp set in 2 places with Versamark ink, sprinkled it with Recollections Eggplant embossing powder and heat set it.  I cut a flower using one of the dies from the coordinating May Flower Framelits and embossed  it with the same Eggplant embossing powder.

The sentiment is from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and was also heat embossed and then banner cut.

I assembled the card by adding 2 pieces of White Organza ribbon, gluing on the flower and then the sentiment banner.  Lastly I mounted the top mat onto a bottom mat of Night of Navy cardstock.  And the finished piece was mounted on a White card base.

This second card was stamped similarly but the flower piece was cut with one of the Layering Ovals framelits, then mounted on a mat of Wisteria Wonder CS cut with one of the Rectangular Stitched Rectangle, layered on a bottom mat of Night of Navy CS that was  embossed using the Tin Tile embossing folder.  The finished piece was mounted on a White card base.

These A2 size cards feature the Forever Lovely Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!.

I used the 2-step flower and leaf stamps from the stamp set which are easily aligned with the Stamparatus. Place the flower stamp on a scrap piece of CS, set slightly down from the top center of the Stamparatus base. Hold the CS in place with one of the magnets provided.  Stamp the image on the scrap piece to make sure you have it positioned as desired.  Lift up the plate and leave the stamp in place. Leave the CS in the same spot, line up the leaf stamp on top of the stamped image, and pick the stamp up with the other plate. Test stamp the leaves.  Once you have the 2 stamps aligned properly you can proceed with the stamping.   It may be helpful to mark the corners on the Stamparatus grid paper so that as you rotate the CS it is re-positioned correctly.

On this first card I started by stamping the flower on the left end of the top mat of Whisper White CS with Wisteria Wonder Ink. And then switched to the other plate and stamped the leaves in Soft Sky Ink.  I rotated the piece 180 degrees in the Stamparatus and repeated the process on the other end.  Then rotated the piece and repeated the process on the top and bottom edges. I mounted the top piece onto a bottom mat of Soft Sky CS.  The sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set was stamped on a scrap piece of Soft Sky CS, was die cut using the large label die from the Stitched Label Framelits, popped up with Dimensionals and placed in the center of the top mat.  I finished off by adding a few Rhinestones.

This second card uses Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz CS and inks.

And this third card uses Lovely Lipstick and Lemon Lime CS and inks.

Here are some cards I made in early February featuring the Meant to Be stamp set and coordinating Be Mine Stitched Framelits from Stampin' Up!.

I made this first card for my husband for Valentine's Day. The background DSP is from the All My Love series.  The heart dies and bottom layer were cut from Merry Merlot & Soft Seafoam cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Bloomin' Love stamp set using Merry Merlot ink.

This second Valentine Card uses the same All My Love DSP which was mounted on Lovely Lipstick cardstock.  The hearts were die cut from Lovely Lipstick and Soft Seafoam Cardstock.  The sentiment on this card is from the Meant to Be stamp set using LovelyLipstick ink.

I made this third card for my sister & brother in law for their wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day.  I used Pink Pirouette, Merry Merlot and Soft Seafoam for the hearts.  The top mat of Merry Merlot cardstock was embossed using the Lace Dynamic embossing folder.  The sentiment was stamped in Merry Merlot ink using a stamp from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.







These last 2 cards use the same color combinations.  One was embossed with the Lace Dynamic embossing folder and the other with the Tufted Dynamic embossing folder.
