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 […] 
Made With Love
Hello Friends! It’s Dana (IG: @dkirbystamps) here today, and I am back with a card that uses the Made with Love dies from Spellbinders. These dies create the sweetest apron and baking accessories, perfect for the chef or baker in your life! I started my card by die cutting all of my images with the Made with Love dies and Concord & 9th cardstock. (Colors Used: Poppy, Pink Lemonade, Powder, Harbor, Sprout, […] 
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! You can stitch, leave them as a blind emboss, or use a pen to accent the detail as we did in today’s project. Along with the Rectangle Frame Piercing dies, we used the […] 
Wild Meadows
Hi Creative Friends, I have two new card designs to share with you today. Each card uses the beautiful Wild Meadow turnabout stamp and its matching die set by Concord & 9th. Turnabouts are a lot of fun when creating awesome backgrounds. You can choose to rotate 1 to 4 times, depending on how populated you want your design. To top it off, there is a matching […] 
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 […] 
Simply Ravishing
Hi Creative Friends, I am hitting the pause button on the holiday projects just for a moment so I can make a special birthday card for my sister. She loves the vintage-style botanical paintings. Penny Black is the best with this kind of stamp, and the Ravisihing cling stamp is no exception. It creates a gorgeous single blossom! This single blossom is so beautiful, and since it […] 
Autumn Birthday
Hi Everyone, I am sharing a delightful birthday card for those Autumn birthdays. This one was made for a dear friend who not only has a birthday in October but also LOVES Fall colors. For me, I loved making the leaves from the Leave It To Me stamp and die set by Papertrey Ink, and adding the sweet dimensional bow was icing on the cake! This card […] 
Birthday Paw-ty

This card was for a special person who just got her own little puppy to love. I had loads of fun making this card. It gave me a chance to do a little coloring […]
