I have three (actually four) cards to share with you today!  This first one is filled with sunshine and features the beautiful Build-A-Garden Radiant Blossoms stamps, stencils, and dies.

The card base is A2 sized and is layered with Fresh Lemon Crafty Necessities Cardstock that I embossed with the Batik Blooms 3D embossing folder.

I stamped the florals from the Build-A-Garden stamp set with Obsidian black ink.  Then I used my beloved Mini Blending Brushes to add in shades of yellow and green inks.  I used inks from the Pocketful of Sunshine and the Green Valley Fresh Dye ink collections.  The basket is lightly shaded with Limestone ink.

I cut out the flowers and basket with the coordinating Radiant Blossoms dies.  Then I adhered the pieces with Instant Dimension Foam Tape.

There is lots of subtle sparkle on this card!  I added the new Clear Iridescent Stellar Stellar Sequins (3 of 5 sizes used) to the flower centers and then a few more around the sentiments.  The sentiments are also in the Radiant Blossoms stamp set and cut out with the coordinating dies.

My next card is filled with lots of beautiful shine and features the stamps and dies from the Crafty-Your-Life Bold & Beautiful set.

I'm going to keep the rest of this post fairly brief.  Be sure to check out the product links in the list below.

This card has gold heat embossing, a gold cardstock layer, and gold die cut flowers!  I love the Craft-Your-Life Project Kits since you get the stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folder all together!  This Bold & Beautiful kit can be used so many ways, as demonstrated in my next card.

I added more sparkle by placing some Sparkling Gold Sequins to the flower centers.

This next project is a two-from-one stenciling session using the beautiful Craft-Your-Life Bold & Beautiful embossing folder and stencils.

My Stampwheel 2.0 gave me plenty of room to use the Bold & Beautiful stencils and color the panel I had already embossed with the embossing folder.

I used Mini Blending Brushes to color through the stencils.  I used inks from these Fresh Dye ink collections:  Sweet Dreams,  Green Meadows, and Cherry Blossom.  Then I used my paper trimmer to cut the piece in half.

Each half piece was adhered to coordinating teal cardstock (embossed with the Bold & Beautiful 3D embossing folder) with Instant Dimension foam tape.  The sentiments are included in the stamp set and popped up with foam tape.

This card is just the same as the previous card except for the foiled sentiment.  This sentiment is from the Versatile Greetings 3 Press Plates.  (You do know that these press plates can be foiled, right?)  I was happy to find that I had the perfectly coordinating foil in my stash!

Both cards have Clear Iridescent sequins adhered around the sentiments for some pretty sparkles!

I just have to finish up by sharing a photo of the awesome new Crafter's Showcase Mini Blending Brush Storage!  I love how this keeps all my brushes together and within easy reach!  I actually have it front and center by my work space!
