Here are the samples I made with the sets:
Looking back at all the samples which I created for the month, I now realize I was on a blue and green kick. Next month I will have to spice things up with some other colors! :)
This one allowed me to use a coloring technique from the Master herself (Theresa). I used a nestability to die cut the main image, left it right in the nestie and sponged it! Super easy!

I am going to have a great stash of birthday cards in my basket! This one has a masculine feel, don't you think?

I have never done the chalkboard technique and really wanted to try it! Here it is with the great poster board sentiments set! I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and versamark. Once the sentiment cooled, I sponged the black cardstock with a dauber dipped in white ink! I lightly smudged the white ink all over to give it the "wiped chalkboard" effect.

This card was so simple and easy to make with some designer paper and some buttons!

Beautiful projects. I am a slave to pink, really loving this. I have not yet tried the chalkboard technique, guess it's time to dive in.
Love those cards ^_^
Awesome cards. I love the look of the chalkboard so I probably should check it out.
Love them all, but that blue tree card is my fav!
These are all so pretty! Beautiful work.

Hi, Beth - what a gorgeous selection of cards to show! Love your color choices and the designs of each one!
Super cards. Love the blue trees.
Thank you for the wealth of beautiful specimens! Especially love the CAS tree treatment with the dots behind the image.
Beth, I love what you did with your Northwoods stamps. Both cards are really sweet looking. When I first saw the Northwoods stamp set, I thought, "That's nice," but now that I've seen the DT creations using these stamps, the stamp set went from just being "nice" to being amazingly awesome! I don't have the set yet. I've already spent my crafting budget for March & April, but as soon as I can, I will be purchasing this set to see if I can capture the same beauty in my cards as you and the other DT have done. Awesome work Beth!!!
The Northwoods set is just so pretty and I love both of your cards using those stamps. The poster board sentiments are so versatile and I like your chalkboard rendition.
The poster board sentiment stamps really lend themselves to the chalkboard technique. Love your trees also - I like how you combined some different trees on the first blue one for a more realistic effect.
I'm just going to say "wow!"
really loved the first two tree cards. The 2nd one would be good for a guy card
Perfect use of the stamps, I love your cards. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Very nice cards. I esp. like the first one....blue is my fav color.

These are such pretty cards. I have got to try the chalkboard technique.
Love the blue card but each card has it's own beauty.
I love the detail in both tree cards. Very nice.
I love these cards! I must get these stamps!
love all the cards, but I really like the simplicity of the green card birthday. TFS
The tone on tone are my favorites especially the blue with the trees.
the trees are amazingly versitile and your cards are wonderful. the new sentiments just the best.
All your cards are great! I especially like the blue one.
Love your Northwood cards! Especially the soft blue one.
What gorgeous cards!
Fabulous cards, I love the colors you used. Thank you

These are so pretty! Great inspiration!

I love polka dots and the first two cards are my absolute favorites - especially the first one.
There is nothing like the beauty of a single tree on a card. That is my favorite.
All your cards are beautiful. But I specially love the blue one.
Wonderful cards.
Beautiful cards, love the colors you chose for each one!
Beautiful cards! Loved the chalkboard technique!
Okay, well, you had me at the dots...LOL I love the Dots stamp set, couldn't buy it fast enough. Now, it just can't get here fast enough!! LOL Love your creations. Love the dots set, and how you used it with the other sets. That is so great, more bang for my buck when I can use more than one set on the same card. I am anxiously awaiting all the sets I purchased!! Even bought the cut-files. I am seriously into these sets! LOL Thanks for the inspiration...this entire hop has given me so many ideas! Just need those stamps! Just like Christmas! Ha!
Loved the dotsy card and chalkboard effect!
Lovely cards!
OMGosh, love the blue one!

the blue card is my favorite. It's so serene.
