These cards feature the Hydrangea Haven Bundle which includes the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set and Hydrangea Dies from the May 2021-April 2022 Annual Catalog.

-The bottom mat for this first card was cut from Elegant Eggplant CS.
-The top mat was cut from Hydrangea Hill DSP.
-Then I cut another piece of Elegant Eggplant CS that I embossed with the Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder and cut with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
-I stamped the Flower/Stem Outline Stamp onto WhisperWhite CS using Mossy Meadow Ink - then used Old Olive Ink & the Leaf/Stem Fill on the stem.
-Using the flower die from the featured die set, I cut out a flower from the same Hydrangea Hill DSP that I used for the Top Mat.  I used Dimensionals to pop up up four additional tiny flowers that I cut with the tiny flower die from the set to add some dimension to the flower, and added some tiny pearls to the centers.
-The sentiment is from the Lovely You Stamp set and was stamped using Elegant Eggplant Ink, cut with the Stitched Label Dies, and popped up with Dimensionals
-Lastly I added some White Organza Sheer Ribbon and a bow, and a few larger pearls.

-The bottom mat for this next card was cut from Rococo Rose CS.
-The top mat was cut from a piece of Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate.
-The flower was stamped with Memento Ink.  The flower head was colored with Rococo Rose and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends, the stem/leaf section was colored with Old Olive Stampin' Blends. The piece was popped up with Dimensionals.
-The sentiment is from the featured set and was stamped using Old Olive Ink.
-This bow was made from a piece of ribbon was leftover from an old Paper Pumpkin Set.
-Lastly I added several Rhinestones to the sentiment piece and the flower head.



-The bottom mat for this card was cut from Gorgeous Grape CS.
-The top mat was cut from a piece of the Hydrangea Hill DSP.
-The white piece was cut using one of the Ornate Layers Dies.  I added another piece cut from the Hydrangea Hill DSP to the center for better contrast.
-The flower with stem was stamped wtih Memento Ink and colored with the light Flirty Flamingo and both Highland Heather Stampin' Blends, then cut out and popped up with Dimensionals.
-I added a bow made with white Twine around the flower and hung the little tag cut from Purple Posy CS, stamped with a sentiment from the featured set using Gorgeous Grape Ink, and die cut with a die from the featured die set.



-The standard size bottom mat for this last card was cut from Seaside Spray CS and embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder.
-The top mat was cut from Whisper White CS (4-3/4 x 3-1/2"). 
-I stamped the full hydrangea outline stamp on the card positioned as shown and then used Highland Heather and Old Olive inks with the "fill" stamps.
-I stamped some "dots" scattered around the mat using a stamps from Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set
-I shaded the edges of the top mat using a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight Ink.
-I decided to stamp the flower cluster outline stamp onto a scrap piece of Hydrangea Hill DSP, cut it out with the flower head die and then popped it up over the stamped image.  The I added some individual tiny flowers cut from Seaside Spray CS and Vellum to the top using the long die from the featured Die Set.  It's a quick way to cut 9 embossed flowers at once.
- The sentiment is from the featured set and was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink,cut out with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and popped up with Dimensionals.
-I used a Mistly Moonlight Stampin' Blend to color some sheer Organza White ribbon for the bow.
