This first card was made using the True Love collection.  I had a few pieces left of the cut apart sheet, and it looked really fancy, so I trimmed along the lace and used that as a decorative piece. The sentiment is stamped in Sapphire Ink and is also a piece from the cut apart sheet.  The flower is from the Stitched Flower Thin Cut, and the colours are Sugarplum and Fern.  The flower and sentiment is popped using 3D Foam Tape.  I also added some Rose Gold Sequins.

For the second card I created I dug into some scraps from Sweet Girl, I used the Border Thin Cuts(sold out sorry), to create the grass, it is a fringe cut.  Totally awesome right.  Again, I used the cut apart sheet, that is where you will find this awesome hedgehog.  The sentiment is stamped in Black ink, and I doodled using the journalling pen.  Again I added some Rose Gold sequins.

Now "Hop" on over to Wendy's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

For my project I decided to pair Sweet Girl with May's Stamp of the month.  I needed a few birthday cards, and this stamp set is just perfect the right fit.  I used the Happy Birthday sentiment along with the flower from this set.I used the shimmer brushed to color in the flowers to give them a soft and shimmery look.  Also used is the White Ribbon.  The sentiment is stamped in Heather Ink.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Colleen.

I decided I wanted a soft looking card to give to my best friend, just because, and May's SOTM fit the bill.  I used the sentiment "I could not ask for a better friend" because she has seen me at my best and at my worst and still loves me just the way I am.  The Sweet Girl paper collection fit the soft look I was going for.  I used Ballerina and Sapphire ink for my stamping, and I used Mink and Peach cardstock along with the Sweet Girl paper.  I also used a piece of vellum to soften the bottom layer.  For some detail I used the new Lace Border Thin Cut on the Peach cardstock.
