Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple 247

Botanicals Theme Last Week!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week. This is our theme for this month:

Stampin’ Up! always has the prettiest stamps, dies and designer paper prints to make this theme easy to fulfill. This week, I used the Lily Of The Valley Bundle, Valley In Bloom Designer Paper and the Phreases & Frames Dies:

I used a partial card base and added a framed layer on the front. You can see close-ups of the pretty flowers and leaves with the products that I used this week:
