Today we're shining the spotlight on Design Team member Rachel Alvarado, and the beautiful cards she created for the April Release! Rachel's coloring is always absolutely gorgeous. You can find all of the details for each card on her blog.

This first fabulous card combines the Next To You stamp set with the Stitched Pinking Edge Rectangle STAX Die-namics.

Rachel's next card showcases the adorable Friends Who Fiesta stamp set combined with the Stitched Diagonal Center Strip Cover-Up Die-namics. All of her images were colored with alcohol markers and cut out using the coordinating Friends Who Fiesta Die-namics. She also added a banner from the previously released YUZU Presents and Pupcakes stamp set.

Rachel says: "I love the new Stitched Diagonal Center Strip Cover-Up Die-namics because it allows you to place your sentiment right in the middle of your card, therefore breaking it up into two different sections where you can easily place your images."

This next card to share with you features the new PI Safe Place stamp set combined again with the Stitched Pinking Edge Rectangle STAX Die-namics. Note the detail of the blanket; Rachel paper-pieced it using the Pretty in Plaid Paper Pad.

Rachel's final creation for this release is a slimline card that measures at 3.5″ x 8.5″. She lined up the super cute bears from the new JB set, Bear Hugs! As always, Rachel's coloring and ink blending are fantastic!
