I decided it was time to use up some of the very small scraps of cardstock and grabbed this gorgeous cup and books set of stitching dies and die cut enough to make a lovely display on my card. But I was not in the mood to stitch – which with these ones is absolutely fine and not necessary!
I mean aren’t they just gorgeous!
I layered up the cup with lilac peeping through the white and then the book with white peeping through the pale blue. I chose cream for the pages of the book and then chose all the scraps of green for leaves and mix of lilac, pink and pale blue for the flowers.
I decided to keep it simple and use a preprinted card blank from the Kingston Crafts ones that went well with the colours and this pink congratulations one was perfect.
I then added a foiled sentiment strip also saying congratulations and called it finished!
I love all the detail on these dies. The gorgeous floral elements are so pretty but that cup and those books are just divine!
Maybe next time I grab them I might actually sew them – but for now I will just look lovingly at this pretty card I made!
Happy crafting!

Just so lovely! The stitching design gives it such pretty detailing
