Hydrangea Valentine Royalty Challenge #12

Day #12 of the Royalty Team Challenge. For today’s card, I am using the beautiful Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. I absolutely love the this DSP; so many gorgeous patterns in the paper. Hydrangea flowers were my grandmother’s favorite and if she was alive, I would send her this card. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years she left us. The hearts were die cut using the Stitched Be Mine dies… Read More »

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, Royalty Challenge Day #7

This is Day #7 of the Royalty Challenge for our team. For today’s card I decided to go a little fancy! I’ve been cleaning out my craft room and came across the long ago retired Embellishment Artisan Kit. I was going to donate it since I tried selling it a couple of years ago for $10.00 and it didn’t sell. I see it’s listed on the interest for $20.00 but… Read More »

I didn’t even realize that such a beautiful sheet was in the package until I went through each sheet yesterday when I was working on card #3. I keep this card simple by only using… Read More »

Inspired by impasto paintings, the floral images in the Fine Art Suite can be used to create a variety of different cards. Add one of the sentiments and you’ve taken your card-making skills to a whole new level. For today’s post, I used the Art Gallery Bundle for my card. I couldn’t decide on a sentiment so I left that part blank. I can add it later. I was inspired… Read More »
