Hello!
Today I am participating in a blog hop to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Clearly Besotted Stamps. I just love this company. Not only is it a UK company (which makes me very happy - I adore buying and promoting quality UK products), but the owner, Stephanie, is one of the kindest, sweetest, most generous and talented people EVER. Seriously.
If you have arrived from Stephanie's blog, then welcome. If not, head there now and start from the beginning - there are prizes to be won on every stop, as well as awesome inspiration from an amazing line up of designers...
So I have two cards to share with you today… both are created with a brand new die set called Ornamental Style.
First up, a Christmas shaker card. I used the three ornament dies to create windows in some Bo Bunny patterned paper, then filled the shaker element with a mixture of silver sequins and fun confetti. The sentiment is from the Ornamental Style stamp set. LOVE it.

I love coming up with unusual colour combinations for my Christmas cards and I am loving pink and grey today!!
And my 2nd card.
When I was cutting out my ornaments for the previous card, I decided that the ornament die looked rather like a hydrangea petal! So I created a quick and simple wedding card using the Ornamental Style dies, paper from Carta Bella, a silver die cut heart, and a sentiment from the previously released Love Blossoms stamp set.
I curled the petals with my finger for some extra dimension.

Hello Lucy. Fabulous cards and using the die cuts gives so much more mileage to the dies. I too love CBS and Stephanie's products are so easy to use and always give great results. As you can see by your cards today. Lovely. x Margaret Col.
Lucy, your two cards are great. The ornaments filled with sequins and confetti look really festive and I like the colours.

When beautifully designed stamps and dies meet gorgeously created cards it's like a magic potion that makes me want to buy everything, knowing I can never produce anything as lovely as I see - sigh! But, I can dream can't I?
These are beautiful.. the tiny silver stars really look perfect in the shaker. Love the stitching down to the ornaments as well.
