Hand-Penned Petals for a Happy Birthday

Today’s card features the gorgeous Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. The stamp set features beautifully drawn floral images and coordinating fill stamps that give the design an effortless watercolored look I did something a little different with this card – did a zig-zag stitch to anchor both pieces of the DSP together. Sewing on cards was very popular a couple of years ago and I even had a small inexpensive craft sewing… Read More »

Bumblebee Trinkets to the Rescue!

Today’s project features the oh so lovely Wildflower Path Stamp Set from the January – June 2022 Mini Catalog. Yesterday on my Facebook group, I posted the following meme: And sure enough, I made a mistake on the card I was making. It was either throw it away or put an embellishment on it.
