Day 1 of Bloomin' Love...

I've been using the Bloomin' Love stamp set and coordinating products over the past month and wanted to share some of those projects with you.  This is a great set and more versatile than just for Valentine's Day.  Today's card uses some words from the set, but also the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits dies, the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper and the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper.

The flowers are included the die set and were cut from Blushing Bride card stock.  

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GLIMMER PAPER!  It doesn't matter what color, I love them all!

Here's a quick tip for cutting these beautiful intricate dies - Cut Glimmer Paper face down with the die using the Precision Base Plate on your Big Shot Platform.  Then use the new Big Shot Die Brush gently with the glitter side down and gently roll out those tiny pieces.  Works perfectly!

Bloomin' Love stamp set and Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies
