What to do when you fall in love with a beautiful new bundle

Have you ever had this moment too? You open up a new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog and start leafing through page by page. And suddenly you spot a bundle that takes your breath away for a quick second.

That's the feeling I got when I first spotted the Dainty Delight bundle!

Although I don't have much time for creating cards that require a lot of coloring, I knew that I would want to make time for the images in this set.

So, what do you do when you fall in love with a beautiful bundle? You buy it and craft your heart out! Which is what I have been doing - here on my blog and on my YouTube channel.

Today's card offers a fun way to create your own background so that you don't have to use an entire sheet of designer series paper. This layout is perfect for using up scraps and it also shows that you can make a beautiful card using only one color of ink.
