Flip it cards using Lily Impression DSP and Golden Honey DSP

Welcome to my blog. I’m at an Agility trial. It’s a very nice day and the dogs and I are having fun. I meant to publish this Sunday but got home late from the trial. After feeding dogs and hubby I fell asleep.
I love Stampin Up but I also love other crafting items in my stash and like to use them together.
These 2 cards are examples of how Stampin Up is so versatile with other vendors products.
Card 1:

I used Basic Black cardstock and cut the base out using my die(not Stampin Up). I then cut the layering pieces from the Golden Honey DSP using dies from the die set. The circle piece I also cut from the DSP I also cut one out of Whisper White cardstock.You notice the flowers are colored. I used Gold Wink of Stella from my craft stash.
Using the a Honey Bee bundle I stamped and die cut the bee. Again I used Gold Wink of Stella to color. I stamped the set on the white circle. I then assembled everything. I popped up the Bee using dimensionals.

Card2:

I did the same except I used Rococo Rose cardstock for the base and Lily Impressions DSP for layering. I stamped the flower from the Lovely Lily stamp set and colored using Calypso Coral Stampin Blends. I used the die to cut it out. I also die cut a couple more flowers out of the Rococo Rose cardstock. The sentiment came from Peaceful Moments stamp set.

3. Squirrel I stamped in Cajun Craze and the mouse in Crumb Cake. I then die cut them out with the dies(available February 4th). Then glued them to the front.
