I'm sharing three projects with you today, as I couldn't stop making beautiful cards with this amazing die set! 
Project 1 - Slimline Birthday Card
  • Die cut the Slimline design in white smooth card, and also in a med green, and attach to a slimline card base. Be very careful when removing the green die cut as you want to paper piece all those teeny tiny dots back into your card (the swirls). I love adding small details like this to my cards! You will want to create a drop-shadow with your two die cuts so the green peeks through. 
  • Use purple alcohol markers on smooth card, light, medium, and dark, then die cut three outer cuts in light, mid cuts in medium, and base cuts in dark purples. Assemble. 
  • Die cut 12 small flowers and 8 medium flowers in white smooth card. Ink up with Kitsch Flamingo, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. Layer up with foam pads and set aside. 
  • Die cut a ton of florals, and ink up with Squeezed Lemonade, and Grass Green Distress Oxide. 
  • Assemble the leaves, and florals onto the slimline card base. 
  • Hot foil in gold the Happy Birthday Sentiment, and attach with foam pads. 
Add Nuvo White Gloss Nuvo Drops to the centers of all your flowers, for the perfect finish. 

Project 2 - A2 Hello Card
  • Die cut the slimline die two line in smooth white card, and set aside
  • Die cut 2 large base flowers, 3 medium, and 7 small flowers. Set aside. 
  • Ink blend a panel 4.25" x 3" with Kitsch Flamingo, and Squeezed Lemonade. 
  • glue one of the white panels onto the ink blended background, and trim. 
  • Glue the other white die cut onto a white smooth piece of card, 5" x 3.75", making sure it's the same pattern as the ink blended panel. 
  • Attach panels with foam pads, onto an A2 card base. 
  • Glue florals onto card, and hot foil the hello sentiment, 
  • Add small gold embellishments to finish. 
Project Three - Thanks
  • Trim a piece of white smooth card, 5" x 3.75". 
  • Die cut 12 small, and 12 medium flowers. 
  • Ink blend the flowers, small in Squeezed Lemonade and Kitsch Flaming, and the medium flowers in Kitsch Flamingo. 
  • Glue of the flowers to the card panel as shown, and the add a second layer of flowers with foam pads. 
  • Hot foil the sentiment and add White Gloss Nuvo Drops to finish. 

Those are my three projects using this month's Large Die of the Month, and hope this has given you some inspiration.
