I love layering abstract shapes but, let's be honest, sometimes it's hard to come up with a pattern and this kit does all the thinking for you! I'm in love with all of the backgrounds/scenes and the Create-in-Quads - Abstract stencils do all the work. By work, I mean physical labour. LOL
This first card using the results of the first quadrant resembles a sunset with moon and water. I tried to pick a favourite but it's difficult because there's something special about each scene. I stamped the wheat grass from the Simple Silhouettes stamp set using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and I love the drama of the black against the pastel background.
All of the sentiments are from the add-on More Signature Sentiments with coordinating dies. I die cut Gold Foil shadows for each of the sentiments and glued the layers together. Some of the cards have flat sentiments and others are popped up on foam tape for dimension.
I used one of the add-on Foil It - Abstract panels for this second quadrant, which resembles a sunrise over mountains and I adore the beautiful rays! I used Gold Deco Foil with my Mini Minc Foil Applicator to create this effect.
To elevate the brilliance of this panel and put the spotlight on those sun rays, I added Gold Drip Drops in various sizes. This panel was trimmed right down to the stencilled edge and placed on a Cookie Monster card base.
This third quadrant is definitely one of my top favourites because the Boho Bowls are so adorable! They can be used not just as vases but also random shapes on your cards, not just for this kit but any card.
What I also love about this card is the subtle white-on-white border on the Sugar Cube card base, as well as the fully-stencilled panel. To finish, I embellished the card with a few Gold Drip Drops.
I'm sure you can understand when I say that this next card is also a favourite because who doesn't love rainbows and leaves? Pair them together and you have the most beautiful card!
I love the drama of this curved branch from Simple Silhouettes, especially when layered with the detailed Branch Out leaves cut from Gold Foil cardstock. This fourth and final panel was placed on a Macaron card base.

Hello, crafty friends! Can I tell you how much I love these cards? I love them so much that I want to make 100 of the same design and simply switch out the colours and sentiments. Yup, I'm that obsessed! They were so much fun to make and you can make them, too!
I'll never tire of the way the hot foil looks on heavyweight cardstock. It mimics letterpress and looks so professional. Once you heat foil, you may never want to stamp again and I'm not joking! Haha
Do you prefer the black base or the pale rose base? They're both so elegant and I love the contrasting pieces with the mirror gold accents. Both are equally gorgeous and I'm tempted to keep them, which is why I want to make 100 more. ;)

I hope you all had a wonderful day showing your love to your family, friends and especially yourselves! I'm still obsessed with the darling SpellbindersFloating Bunny(on sale) and Open House Spring(on sale) and have always wanted to pair them together on a card. These three cards are what resulted when I started. Haha!
This next card features the same bunnies but I varied style of paws used, as well as the configuration of the hearts which were die cut from Delicious Decorations(on sale) with Dahlia cardstock.
This last one a slight change to the paw configuration and the cutest strawberries from Delicious Decorations(on sale). The strawberries were die cut from Pomegranate and Rainforest cardstock with the dipped chocolate cut from dark chocolate cardstock.
I hope you enjoyed these everyday love cards and especially the different ways the bunnies are enjoying their happy mail and chocolate-dipped strawberries!

Here's a list of kits I share each month and some of the value kits:
This month's Glimmer Hot Foil Kit - Tulip Border is so pretty and perfect for spring! I can't remember the last time I used my Copic markers but I'm glad that this kit allowed me to do some quick colouring. I made two cards using the same colours but in very different ways.
I find the way the blue panel was partially embossed, it looks a bit like rain clouds but that just adds to the spring showers ideology. I love the added texture which compliments the tulips. To finish, I attached both panels to a green card base.
My second card uses the same colours but with colour blocking. It's true, I will avoid colouring whenever possible so this is my kind of card! I basically cut strips of cardstock and taped them together before heat foiling the tulips with Matte Gold Hot Foil.
I never get tired of heat foiling and I love looking at the shine! Using a different hot foil colour would provide a completely different look to these beautiful tulips and I can't wait to experiment more with this month's beautiful Tulip Border.
