I have these lovely floral cards to share today. Both of these use Layers of Beauty stencils without the stamp set. This bundle is so versatile and all the results are amazing.

The version above uses Poppy Parade, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. I have a lovely red rose outside my front door, which inspired this card. My neighbours have a yellow rose and this inspired the card below. Which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.

As some of you know I design my cards weeks ahead of them going “live” on my blog. I was watching the Chelsea Flower Show and as you may know, my maternal family is from South Africa. The South African stand got a Gold Medal and Best Stand in the Great Pavilion. This was the inspiration behind this card.

I’ve taken inspiration for the colours from the paper. The above box uses Garden Green and Lemon Lolly and the one below is Garden Green and Peach Pie. Which is your favourite?

Memory and More cards are great for pocket scrapbooking and quick and easy cards. I’ve paired a card with a couple of stamped florals and hey presto, my card is done. Here is another example below. Which do you prefer?

Memory and More cards come in two sizes, 4″ X 6″ and 4″ X 3″. I’ve used both in the card above. The bigger card is larger than a normal card base so I’ve altered that measurement.

I love this bright floral bunch of flowers. These are all new in-colours. They work well together. The Flowers of Beauty stamp set is a two-step stamp set. The florals are stamped and die-cut as one element, giving you many individual florals to arrange as you wish.

Leaf Collection is a large bold background stamp. It is a busy background stamp and I feel all it needs to make a card is a sentiment. When I designed this card I was limited in the stamp sets I could use. I would have loved to use the retired Biggest Wish stamp set. I do think it would do well with a larger sentiment. When I get my main order from the new catalogue I am going to redesign this card with some different sentiments.

The above card uses Shy Shamrock and the one below is Pretty in Pink. They are both new in-colours I love them.

I love this colour combo for these daisies. It is Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop. They are two of the new in-colours. Aren’t they pretty? Daisies have a special place in my heart as my Granny always had a yellow daisy bush in her garden.

Cheerful Daisies is a two-step stamp set. Instead of stamping the outline in black, I used Petunia Pop for a softer feel. I love how it turned out.

I am sharing this clean and simple “Thinking of you Card”. It uses the Painted Lavender dies rather than the stamp set. The white background is embossed using the Zinnia 3D embossing folder to give some subtle interest.
