 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Marsh Silhouettes"



  The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Lily of the Valley"
                                                    

Everybody loves movies!  For that reason this set is a great one to have in your stash.  Its called "Now Showing":


I thought this would be the perfect set to make a card holder with, expecially if you give a movie theatre gift card as a set.  My first card uses the set as intended:




For the second card I thought I would do something a bit more unexpected.  I really like the shapes of the sentiments in this set, and I found a free cartridge in the Cricut Craft Room that I didn't realize was there. Its called "Flower Shoppe" and it contains quite a few rolled flowers which I love!  I'm not sure if the cartridge will permanently be free so I may cut a whole bunch at once to use in future projects.   Using the set and a few of the flowers this is what I came up with:




As you can see this set can be quite versatile.  I'm glad I have this one in my stash! :)

I hope you enjoyed my cards, but the fun isn't over!  You still have all of the rest of Mark's Finest Papers Senior DT to visit!  There is lots of inspiration to be had....



And don't forget to visit the Mark's Finest Paper's Store, where you will find all of the May sets, and lots of other lovely sets.  There are also lots of supplies to go along with your stamps.  Why not click on over and have a look?

I hope you enjoyed this month's hop.  Stay tuned for some upcoming posts  as I will be talking about some other projects I've been working on.  See you soon! :)

    Your cards are really great, I love how you did the doodling on the one card and used the rhinestones.
