For my first card, I used the beautiful Miss You set along with the always lovely, Bird & Butterfly Labels. The Miss You wildflowers were stamped with Versafine directly onto a piece of designer paper from the ODBD Christmas 2014 collection.One of the smaller bird labels was stamped with the turquoise pigment ink onto black card stock and embossed with a mixture of baby blue & mint pastel embossing powders. The greeting from Miss You was embossed inside the label and I used a Versamark pen & the same powders to edge it after it was die cut. A narrow ribbon and some beads I strung were added.

My second card features the wonderful Life is a Gift set. The white panel was die cut using the outermost die from the Flourished Star Pattern die set then I die cut a circle in the top. The image was stamped on a separate piece of white, colored and I cut around some of the top to slide them on top of the circle from underneath. The Happy Birthday as well al the backing layer & corner die (from ODBD Ornate Borders & Flowers die set) were die cut out of paper from the ODBD Christian Faith paper collection. I used the balloon on the inside.
Here are the Copics I used.

Beautiful cards, Julie! I especially like the second one. I love how you brought the flowers outside the circle and over the mat piece.
Julie, you did a great work as always. I’m not used to comment every time I see beautiful stuff but I just had to say that my favorite on your creations on this post, is the second card. Looks just perfect!
Your wildflowers cards are stunning! Love the circle one with the wildflowers popping out, what a great idea. 🙂
These are stunning Julie!
Love both of these!! The two tone silhouette card is just stunning! And I love your window card where you have some of the flower hanging outside!!
Oh my goodness….the wildflowers are just breathtaking. Beautiful creations!
oh Julie, how perfect to pair with B&B Labels!! genius!! gorgeous card!
I absolutely love the out of box (circle in this case) of the second and the finished inside!! well done!!
So, so love the cards that you made..the black and the baby blue/mint colors—spectacular. Cutting around the top of the flowers so that they’re on the front of the card…very nice touch.
You certainly made the images and dies shine!
Absolutely stunning cards! You are so talented and creative and I love how you used all the stamps, dies and papers. GORGEOUS!
Each of your cards is amazing. Just beautiful.
Both cards are so pretty, love how the flowers extend past the border and the cut out circle.
What a pretty sample medley! I really like the creativity in each one.
I can’t decide which project I like best, Julie! I love the colors on the first and the combination of sets used is brilliant. The second card is so beautifully colored and I love the out-of-the-box element. Just gorgeous, my friend! Hugs!
Such beautiful creations Julie! Love the die and the wild flowers background! Have a Blessed day!
Absolutely inspiring.
I love the coloring.
The third card is so cute!
Oh Julie… both are just breathtaking! Love the blue and black combo of the first and the soft blues and the coloring on the second one is beautiful!!! Love how you did the inside as well!!!

Beautiful samples Julie. Your color choices and creativity always inspire!! The first is so creative with the bird and butterfly labels set embossed to coordinate so perfectly!! And your second card is so sweet – love the out of the box touches on both as well!!

The second is gorgeous with the coloring and the out of the box design. Perfect use of the dies!! You are so inspiring my friend!!

beautiful cards – your copic coloring is awesome!
Your cards are lovely! I never thought of a balloon being used with a baby card, but it fits well and I love it!
Julie, such beautiful cards. You do such great work, Sarah W
Great job. I loved the wildflowers overlapping the circle. Beautiful.

the cards are beautiful love the dies thank your for sharing your creativity
You never disappoint. I love how you fussy cut the top the stamped images in the first two cards. What a wonderful idea. Stamping the word die cuts was also a great idea. Well done. Well done.
So nice to see you back. I’ve missed your postings. Your card is gorgeous. What I like about your work is it is always so unique and you think outside of the box.
Beautiful cards, Julie! I, too, love how you placed the top of the wildflower “outside” the frames. Makes the image come alive!
Love the use of black and turquoise on the first card and the way you cut out around the image on the second. TFS
You are so creative! Love all your work!
Lovin’ both of these fabulous cards.
Julie, the fuzzy cut on both cards are perfect…as always fabulous creations! Hugs ~S~
