Stampin' Up! has an early release of a suite that will be in the next annual catalog.  The Ornate Garden suite has both simple designs and intricate cuts.  I LOVE the designer series paper!  I actually am going to use it to decorate my craft room.  It is full of daisies, which are my favorite. 
I had fun playing with these 5 border dies from the Ornate Thanks bundle.  I'm not a huge fan of the photopolymer stamps, but I couldn't pass this stamp set up.
These are 3 of the cards I made.  The Thank You is cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The border with the mixed flowers is almost 6", so rather than cut something off, I decided to put it diagonally.  

I thought it looked best with the paper right up to the die.  So I used the die to cut out the ede of the paper.
 Then its like a puzzle - just slide the border into the grooves.  Make sure you pay attention to which side of the die you used, as they are not the same.
 I thought it needed a little pop of color, so I added the white flowers on top of saffron ones.  My sentiment is not quite at the right angle, but I may be the only one who notices.
I hope to be able to play with this bundle more soon.
You can order it starting April 1st, along with the rest of the suite.  I hope you will like it as much as I do.
Let me know if my instructions aren't clear.
What will you make today?
