The base card is Bermuda Bay Cardstock and Layer 1 is the retired Fine Art Floral Designer Series… Read More »

Batter Up with Pansy Patch!

Today’s card was created with the Hat Builder Dies. I don’t wear baseball caps but if I was going to wear one, then it would have to have flowers on it! I paired it with the Pansy Patch Stamp Set and the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to add a bit of elegance and floral to the cap. The background was embossed with the retired Painted Texture Embossing Folder and… Read More »

New Horizons and Good Friday

Today’s card features the New Horizons Designer Series Paper and was inspired on a card I saw on Facebook. I used the same package of DSP but a different sheet. The sentiment and crosses are computer generated. Did you know that this awesome DSP is retiring on 2 May? Thanks for stopping by today – have a great weekend.

Happy Anniversary with the Floral Heart Die

When you first see the beautiful Floral Heart Die, you may think it’s it for only Valentines, but it really can be used for so much more such as birthday, sympathy and thinking of you cards. For today’s project, I created a Happy Anniversary card with the die. I cased this idea from page 74 of the annual catalog and changed the colors. If you are new to card making,… Read More »

I got the idea for the coloring and layout from Alisa Tilsner. Though… Read More »
