MY PROJECT
For my project I decided to use the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Elegant Bouquet.(page 151)  I would have to say that the Embossing Folders are gorgeous and so easy to use.

I also used the basic rhinestones (page 140) which are new in this catalogue and gives you the BLING!! you need.
The colour card stock that I used was from the Brights Set and I used Tangerine Tango, Temptin Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.  The new Brights are so lovely and are a huge improvement.

The stamp set that I used was Just Believe.

I really enjoyed making these cards and with the new products from the Big Shot it makes your projects look gorgeous..

MY PROJECT
For my project I decided to use the stamp set called Long Fellows. It is a set that is available in the Level 2 hostess set. It has 6 stamps and I think it is a really cute set. I also used a piece of paper from the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper. I love it as it is really bright. I then put my designs on cards stock that matches that paper, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Old Olive.
