You can even see them in action with step-by-step projects by our amazing designers on their blogs and our own LDRS Creative Youtube channel (make sure you subscribe)!

In this release, we are celebrating love and friendship, being on Cloud #9 with sweet new products!

There are FOUR stamp sets that are oh-so-sweet:  CLOUD NO.9 from Cre8tive Cre8tions, LOVE IN BLOOM, BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS, and HANGING OUT from our very awesome Polkadoodles line!

We also have FOUR new die sets that will help you get a professional look in no time, thanks to the LOVE LETTER LACE ENVELOPE, the FAIRY FANTASY LACE ENVELOPE, the EYELET LACE RECTANGLE and the BUILD-A-CARD GARDEN ESCAPE die sets.

Who's ready for mini hybrid inks? We are adding two sets of our very popular Hybrid inks in a mini version, perfect for ink blending, stenciling, stamping, colouring and embossing: COUNTY FAIR and SUMMER SHORE.

So its day 2 of this fabulous blog hop and I have used the stunning stamp set BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS to make a very simple CAS card. 

I measured a piece of watercolour card to fit an A6 (UK)/A2 (US) card blank and
I decided to stamp the main bouquet image twice and emboss in gold.

I used my stamping platform so that the image would be in the same position in both corners. 

I used one of the sentiments that comes with the set and embossed that to.

I coloured with watercolour markers and ‘blobbed' on (not a lot of precision to be found here I'm afraid) some pearl drops to finish. 

Hop along and leave a comment so you could win!
