Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery for Day 1 introductions to the most gorgeous La Dolce Vita Collection. I’m telling you…this release is outstanding!
My first card features the Citrus Fields die set. For the background I used the Checks Out A2 Border die with Seashell & Apricot cardstock. For the sentiment I used the Rolling Hills Bella Terra Addition stamp & die set.
This next bundle of projects feature the Something Fishy suite.
This first card uses the Canned die set. I added the details using the Ciao Bella Borders stamp & die set along with the Something Fishy stamp & die set for the sentiment.
This card opens up to reveal a bunch of rainbow sardines!
Here is a video showing this card.
This little mini sardine can shaped card uses the Canned Lite die set with the Something Fishy stamp & die set for the sentiment.
I created one more card because I couldn’t stop. This one uses all the same products as above. I love how you can create such different looks with the can closed or rolled open.
Lastly, this card features the Coastal Cuttings die set. For the background I used the Cottage Tile die and for the sentiment I used the Rolling Hills Bella Terra Addition stamp & die set.
