I like to call Card 1 a one layer wonder. I measured my sentiment and cut a piece of the masking paper just slightly larger. I centered it in the center towards the top. This gave me a 1/2" border on 3 sides and a slightly thicker border on the bottom. Kind of like a Polaroid photo which I thought was kind of fun. I then used my flower and leaf masks to determine placement and create a flower border around my masked rectangle and removed the masks when I was done. Before I removed the rectangle, I took a Gold Signo gel pen and drew a square around the edge of the masking paper, creating a beautiful shiny frame for my sentiment. I then put the card into my MISTI and positioned the sentiment to stamp in the white space. I stamped it in beautiful Delicata Gold ink several times to get a nice rich finish.
I also think this would be fun if you masked the outside and created a pattern inside and drew a frame around the space before removing the outside mask to reveal a pretty white border. To see me create this and another card check out my YouTube video here.
For Card 3, I cut the heart patterned paper down to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and then cut it on a diagonal. I then took the striped pattern paper and cut out each of the skinny "washi" strips. I used 2 of them plus a scrap from my first card to create an arrangement of strips for the card on the left below and then used part of the largest strip to create a thin border for my heart paper. I then attached everything to an A2 card base. After assembling the card I attached some hearts to the top to create more dimension and interest. The sentiment is from the puffy sticker collection.
Card 4 is made using the beautiful wildflower paper. I cut 2 strips to 4 1/4" x 1 1/2" and attached them to each end of a top folding A2 card base. I did stamp surgery on one of the sentiments from the stamp set by cutting off the "ever." I first stamped the "friend" stamp from the Simon Says Stamp Stained Glass Love stamps on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card stock panel. I then stamped the "you are simply the best" slightly over the "friend" stamp to make them seem attached. Underneath the "friend" stamp, I did the same. These were all stamped in the same Simon Says Stamp Spring Rain Hybrid ink. I trimmed the panel down to 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" and popped it up in the center of the card with foam tape. I colored the heart with red pencil and added a few puffy stickers for some added interest and dimension. The card was complete after I used my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round each of the corners.

I love the pretty mint paper that came in the kit and decided to create a card with it as the show piece (Card 6). I cut an A2, top folding, card base out of the Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue card stock that came in the kit. The layering pieces are white cut to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"; the patterned paper is cut to 3 3/4" x 5"; and the sentiment panel, 3 7/8" x 1 1/2". I layered and glued the panels to the front of the card and then I stamped the sentiment using my MISTI and the Spring Rain Hybrid ink. I finished by adding a few stickers from the puffy sticker pack to create a stemmed flower to place next to my sentiment. I love the monochromatic look of this card. It is so peaceful.
For Card 7, I stamped the teacup flower arrangement once on a piece of the mint patterned paper in Spring Rain ink (just the teacup because I would be fussy cutting it to paper piece); once with brown ink on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white card stock; and once on a scratch piece of card stock (to practice coloring and to cut out and pop up larger flowers on finished card).
I cut out the patterned paper teacup and set it aside to wait for assembly. I colored the remaining flowers and leaves using an assortment of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils (Cadmium Orange, Dark Chrome Orange, Leaf Green, Dark Cadmium Orange, Light Green, Cobalt Green, and White). I then took a piece of patterned paper and trimmed it to 4 1/4" wide and attached it to the bottom of the card panel, overlapping the stamped teacup creating the impression that the bouquet is sitting on a table.
I then fussy cut the 2 large flowers out of my scrap/test piece and popped them up on top of the card panel with 2 layers of foam. I popped the patterned paper teacup with only 1 layer of foam. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and applied some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the flowers to add some shine.
The background for Card 8 is the thin lined triangle background paper (cut down to 4" x 5 1/4"). I created the background of this card by stamping flowers from Everything Together stamp set onto the cut down piece of patterned paper. To determine my positioning, I placed the pre-stamped and cut out masks on the card front. Once I had determined placement I moved the masks and stamped. If I was layering another flower underneath, I used the mask, then reapplied it to the backer sheet for future use.
I used the third and fourth My Favorite Things Stitched Circle Stax dies. I cut the larger one from the Smoke card base and the smaller one from a scrap of white card stock. The white circle is stamped with a sentiment from the Everything Together stamp set in the Spring Rain ink.
To assemble the card, I used tape runner to attach the patterned paper to the card base, and to attach the 2 circles to one another. I popped the circle sandwich up with some foam tape. I completed the card by adding some random dots and hearts from the Everything Together stamp set plus an epoxy heart. And then some sequins to the card background.
