 I had a lot of fun playing with this stamp set.  
I wanted to show how you could use this stamp set in other ways.
I have created  both a layout and card using this set and the same sketch for both.  
Here is the sketch I used, it was created by Susan Stringfellow.

To start with, here is the layout.  I have stamped the Kraft cardstock with the bouquet stamp using Versamark ink.  I used a piece of paper to mask as I continued to stamp the full strip.  I then heat embossed with our gold embossing powder.  This is a favorite technique of mine, to create my own pattern paper.  I also swiped the Versamark ink pad on the edges of the photo mat and then used the gold embossing powder.  LOVE THIS EFFECT.   

I created the Beautiful Moments title using the Spruced Up - Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cut set and Espresso ink.  I used the French Vanilla cardstock for this layout.

Don't you just love the look of that gold embossing?  My husband couldn't believe that I made that paper this morning.

Here is the card.
I have used most of the same paper, just added a strip of Spruced Up paper.
The bird is from the Spruced Up - Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cut set.

I used the same techniques and supplies on this card as well.  I cut the largest Stitched Bracket die in half and used half on each of these projects.

Our Stamptacular Sale started today and both of the Spruced Up sets are a part of it so you can get them at a discount.
