Today I wish to share a trio of cards I made this past week using Stampin' Up!'s Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and the You're Delightful hostess stamp set. I also used the Designer Series Paper pack called Delightful Daisy.
May your creative juices flow too!

Next:
1. Using photos above cut, stamp and assemble cards as shown
2. I embossed my card front mats first.
3. Then cut and assembled the Old Olive scalloped square with the Delightful Daisy DSP.
4. I wrapped the assembled scalloped square with the ribbon/linen thread
5. I then attached the square to my card front/mat with stampin' dimensionals.
6. Then I die cut all my honey bees and glued them to the card as shown in photos.
7. I then inked and stamped my greetings as shown onto scrap and punched out with the classic label punch (and for Card #3, I stamped greeting directly onto bottom of card front).
8. Last, I used the Glitter Emamel Dots to decorate as desired (use photos for ideas).
Enjoy your creations (can you imagine the may different color combinations and other DSP you can try out? whoo-hoo - this will keep us all busy for quite some time to come!)
