This is part 2 of a 4 part series featuring the Curvy Dies and Quite Curvy Stamp Set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. They were part of the Quite Curvy Bundle. These 5 cards are a bit more complex than the ones I posted yesterday.  Each of these cards use 2 die cut pieces made with the Curvy Dies.  

-I used a Mint Macaron Card Base for this card.
-The bottom mat was cut from Pretty Peacock CS.
-The top mats (2 pieces) both cut from a single piece of Mint Macaron CS using the "Burst" Curvy Die.
I cut some off the top and bottom of the two pieces so I could insert a piece of Forever Greenery DSP in the center behind them. 
-The "leaf" pieces were cut from Pretty Peacock CS using one of the Forever Fern Dies.
-The 3 birds were stamped with Memento Ink on White CS. They were colored with Old Olive, Mint Macaron and Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends, and popped up with Dimensionals.
-The sentiment is from the featured stamp set and was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink.
-Lastly I added a few Gold Sequins.
-This card was CASED from one I saw on Pinterest by Lynda Emerson.

-The Bottom Mat on this card was cut from Pretty Peacock CS.
-The Top Mats (2 pieces) were both cut from a single piece of Lemon Lime Twist CS using the Dotted Curvy Die.
-Then I used the Leaf Pattern Die from the Curvy Dies to emboss and cut out leaves from the top piece. I also repeated the cut on a scrap piece of Pretty Peacock CS and inserted the individual Pretty Peacock leaves into the holes on the Lemon Lime Twist piece.  I used a small dab of Tombow Glue to hold them in place.
-I used the same DSP set for the center piece as above.
-These two birds were colored with the Pretty Peacock and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends and then popped up.
-The sentiment is the same as on the card above.
-Lastly I added some coordinating Faceted Dots.

-For this third card the Bottom Mat was cut from White CS.
-The Top Mats (2 pieces) were both cut from a piece of Old Olive CS that I had embossed using the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder. When you use the dotted die to cut both of the pieces they do not align the same as on the above two cards. Adjust the open space as desired.
-The sentiment is from the featured stamp set and was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.
-The leaf branch pieces were cut from Mossy Meadow CS using a die from the featured bundle.
-The 3 birds were cut from Mango Melody CS, the leaf piece was cut from White CS, they were colored with Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends and popped up with Dimensionals.
-Lastly I added a few Champagne Rhinestones.

-For this next card I used Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow CS for the mats. I embossed the Pumpkin Pie CS using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.
-I used the Dotted Curvy dies for the cuts on the Pumpkin Pie Piece. And then I used the Leaf Pattern Die from the Curvy Dies to emboss and cut out leaves from the bottom piece, this time I just let the Mossy Meadow CS show thru the holes.
 -I used the same CS as on the card above to cut out the leaf piece, the leaf branches, and the birds as above, and the same Stampin' Blends to color them.
-Lastly I added some Gold Sequins as shown.
-I will add a sentiment at a later date.  I always like the flexibility of having a few cards without pre-stamped sentiments on them.

-For this last card I cut the bottom mat from Just Jade CS that I embossed using the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder.
-The top mats were cut from a single sheet of Rich Razzleberry CS - using the Dotted Curvy Die for both pieces and attaching them to a piece of White CS - this time I left a bit more space between the two halves so I would have room for the Leaf cutout.
-The leaf cutout was colored with Just Jade, Rich Razzleberry, and Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends.
-The birds were colored with Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.
-The sentiment from the featured set was stamped with Versamark Ink.
-And lastly I added some Coastal Cabana Rhinestones.
