The products you can earn include lovely papers, whimsical, artistic and beautiful stamp sets and dies, and the best part is they are designed to coordinate with products from the current Mini and Annual Catalogs. Ingenious!

Today's card features the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. The Dahlia was the perfect flower choice, as it comes in a multitude of colors so you simply have to decide what color you want to make it. It is a DistINKtive ™ stamp which means it creates different opacities in a single stamped image. This feature gives your flower a very dimensional look. It's also a two-step stamp so the flower has the petal fill in one stamp and the petal outline is a separate stamp. These features give you endless variety for your creations.

a lovely piece of art to send a friend

How gorgeous is that flower! The lovely long-stem die cut flowers to accompany it are from the Harvest Dies and the sentiment is from the Lovely You stamp set. The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch gives the tag beautiful edges, and the Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins add a little sparkle. See how wonderfully all these different elements work together to create this lovely card!
