Beautiful Beginnings and Happily Ever Afters

I recently purchased the Citrus Blooms Bundle. While I’m excited to play with the oranges and sentiments in the stamp set (and don’t get me started about the incredible Designer Series Papers), the dies that coordinate with this set caught my eye from the start. Here’s a coastal card I made with the Citrus Blooms Dies:

It’s like I’m peaking through the brush to view a gorgeous coastline, isn’t it? Here’s a look at the Citrus Blooms Bundle, which is (1) currently on sale and (2) includes these amazing dies:

The frame in the top left can be used to crop that shape OR the frame in the bottom, right can be used to cut out leaves from a panel (like I did on my card OR the two can be combined to crop a frame of the leaves. How fun! Here’s a look at the coordinating dies:

I don’t know that the watercolored design is intended to depict a coastal image, but it sure looks like it behind the sentiment. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

The sentiment is front-and-center on my card, but all the other elements are also stars (there are no supporting players on this card). 🙂 Here’s a look at the Something Fancy stamp set:
