#DOswts383 - Stamp/Die Bundle Inspiration Hop: Art Gallery Abstract Beauty card within a card

 

Greetings!

Welcome to the Stamp/Die Bundle Inspiration Hop.  Today's card uses the Art Gallery Bundle which is one of the bundles you can purchase at a 20% discount this month!  Woohoo!  And if you need the machine to cut the dies, well, great news!  The Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine is also 20% off this month.  What a great way to welcome in the spring season.

I love the Art Gallery bundle and the first reason is because of the "just want to say" die.  There's just something special about die cut words and having a great introduction to whatever you want to say from there makes it even better.  The stamp set offers a wonderful variety of options for completing the sentence, and a cute postage stamp type edge die to cut them out in.  Pair all of this with lovely flowers in this stamp set and you have a winning combination.

How cute is that message cut out of the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP)!  I layered on vellum with another print from the Abstract Beauty DSP behind it.  These papers are so gorgeous and have such a beautiful variety of prints.  

If you noticed the title of this blog I call it a card within a card and here's why.  When you open up the front of the card, another card is revealed.  This card has the lovely flower cluster from the Art Gallery bundle mounted on to the reverse side of the Abstract Beauty DSP.  

The inside of the little card gives you plenty of space to write your personalized message.
