Birthday Petals
Hi Friends, Finally, I have had a chance to use the delightful Scalloped Petals stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. I love the big, bold flower with the sweet little ladybug! You can choose any color scheme you like, and it will change the flavor of your card designs. I have made two so you can see what I mean. These cards were an easy […]

Happy birthday In Plaid
Hi Creative Friends, Every once in a while, or in my case, more often than not, I need a card for the men in my life. And it turns out, I have quite a few! This always presents a problem, as I usually prefer to make more feminine cards. However, I have found one sure fix… the Plaid. And there is no better plaid maker than Kristina […]

A Gardener’s Delight
Hi Creative Friends, Any gardeners in your house? We don’t have one exactly in our house, but the next best thing… a son-in-law that has quite the green thumb! So, in celebration of his birthday, I created a paper garden for him. I had loads of fun adding little details to make it special. To help me out, I used Papertrey Ink’s Above the Ground stamp and […] 
Granny Square Fun
Hi Creative Cardmarkers, I am sharing a super fun card design using another great stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. It is the Granny Square Turnabout and matching die set. This set was released just a little bit ago, and I have been saving it for an avid crocheter’s birthday this month. I didn’t use the turnabout portion of the stamp set this time, but it would have […] 
Birthday Candles
Hi Creative Friends, We have featured a few card designs recently using the new piercing dies by Concord & 9th. You might have guessed that we can’t get enough of them! They are fabulous!

Friends Make Life Beautiful
Hi Creative Friends, In the latest release from Papertry Ink is a gorgeous floral stamp and die set called Winter Iris. These stunning flowers help create a beautiful display of iris-like blooms. I used pinks and purples for mine, but they would be equally wonderful in any color… or even multi-colored!! To create these flowers, I first stamped them onto hot-pressed watercolor paper using VersaMark ink, then […]
