I'm playing along with PTI's Make It Monday:

Emboss Resist Using Die Cuts

 
I used the Vertical Chevron plate to create my background. I then embossed it with white embossing powder and rubbed the following colors from top to bottom: Hibiscus Burst, Berry Sorbet, Raspberry Fizz and Pure Poppy.
I die cut out the Hello (from Wonderful Words Hello) in the card base then stacked four more beneath it (it's hard to see the hello but it is raised. Then I used the Initial Thoughts die and button stacks for the embellishments. I think I'll try a blue one next. Fun times.

Virginia's View Challenge was to do some Paper Piecing.

Paper Piecing is one of my favorite card making projects because the finished project is always so interesting and appreciated. I used Papertrey Ink's Doodlie Do stamp set and fussy cut all the petals. I cannot remember where I got the paper but usually choose a 6X6 pad and use various papers so they will coordinate.

Make It Monday: Creative Card Borders using Non-Border Dies:

What a fun project...now I'll look at my dies from a different angle. I used the Friendly Flower stamp and dies and stamped them with Hibiscus Burst and Pure Poppy and the leaves with Simply Chartruese and Ripe Avacado..
I also die cut the Wet Paint Thanks and colored it with Hibiscus Burst then inlaid it back into the card.
I tried Danielle's trick of using seam binding and wetting it and it worked great. The inside of the Pure Poppy card is a piece of paper from Shakers and Sprinkles as the color was perfect.

Make It Monday DIY Notebooks:
What a darling idea for a little gift for any occasion. I used  PTI Berry Sorbet, Hibiscus Burst and Sweet Blush. I also used PTI's Take Note stamp set.  For the buttons I used the Button Stack combination and clear heat embossed them to make them shiny. The inside notes all say "Notes" on the bottom. Really enjoyed this project.
 
All the inside say "Notes" on the bottom of each page

Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday's challenge is to make an Envelope Wrap.
I used the wine bottle die and flowers from Happiness in Bloom. Also used are
the sentiments from Simply You.  What a fun project. I loved making it to
match my card.
