Forever Flourishing Beauty of the Earth

Greetings!

The Forever Flourishing Dies are a perfect pairing to use with the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (DSP)!  This die set has so many wonderful leaf and botanical cluster type dies, which are ideal with these papers for creating gorgeous pieces to use as accents and focal points.   The Beauty of the Earth DSP has so many rich colors and the subtle color of the Blushing Bride cardstock behind the die cut botanical cluster really enhances those beautiful colors. 

 

Beautifully Textured

The Very Versailles stamp set provides a vintage look with the beautiful script stamp and the versatile "Have a Beautiful Day" sentiment.  Notice the wonderful texture added with the Bark 3D embossing folder which is also used for the small strip of Cinnamon Cider cardstock .

One of the things I love the most about Stampin' Up!'s © products is the coordination and versatility they offer.  Mixing and matching dies and papers and stamp sets gives so many options!  This is what makes it easy to find the look of what works best for YOU and have fun with it!
