English Garden Blooms

Hi Creative Friends,

I have been captivated by the stunning display of flowers you can so easily make with the new Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms. They remind me so much of the beautiful array of flowers you see in English gardens. So, it only follows that I had to make a card featuring these lovely blooms.

Pretty Pink Birthday

Hi Creative Friends,

I am loving all ways you can use the new ‘YOU‘ die from Penny Black. It is a fantastic die to have in your stash!

So, with that in mind, here is another card design using this die, along with sweet, French-style flowers from the Flower Medley stamp set by Penny Black and one of my favorite elements, a sentiment banner. I am always so enamored by banners; they are so easy to draw too! Give them a whirl!

But, if you are feeling a little intimidated by drawing a banner yourself, I have included a copy of the one I drew for this card. You can access it here or at the bottom of this post.

Happy Birthday To You

Hi Creative Friends,

Penny Black has some brand new stamps and dies that we were dying to give a try. To start, we used the giant “YOU” die for our centerpiece, then accompanied it with an adorable hedgehog from the Cheerful Critters stamp set and the Balloons die set for a super fun, but simple, card design that works great for male or female, young, or old!

A Bold Happy Birthday

Hi Creative Friends,

I am changing the theme today from holiday to birthday – you can never have enough birthday cards, can you?

I fell in love with this bold, color-block Happy Birthday die set from Spellbinders. It helps create a very special birthday greeting. Another great thing about it is that all you have to do is change the color scheme to create a whole different look. Since this card is for a special birthday for a guy, I wanted masculine colors, but I think it would be fantastic with each letter a different color or choose more feminine colors. Either way, I love the look you get with one simple die set!

Happy Birthday Sunburst

Hi Creative Friends,

I have another Lawn Fawn favorite to share with you today. I am using the GIANT Happy Birthday die. Lawn Fawn has many giant word dies and they are all terrific!  They are perfect as the centerpiece of your card, work swimmingly when making a platform pop-up card, and are great for shaker cards too. The one that I am using today is one of my all-time faves!

Also, today is the last day of our Lawn Fawn sale. We have a huge selection so grab your favorites and SAVE 15%. Use code: 15LF722 (more details at the bottom of the post).

Sent With Love

Hi Creative Friends,

I have lots to share today. First, I had so much fun making this Vintage Postage card design. I love postcards or postage-type things.  Then, if it is vintage-y… all the better! So, this is my take on some of the latest products from Papertrey Ink that are chocked full of awesome stamps and dies that are perfect for this theme.

Second, we are having a Summer Sale extravaganza! Starting today (YAY!), enjoy 15% off for 5 full days on all Papertrey Ink items *excluding stand-alone dies*. The coupon code and other info are listed at the bottom of this post.

A Trio of Bouquets

Hi Creative Friends,

A few weeks ago I shared a sweet bouquet card using the Simply Graphic Bouquets stamp set. Now I am sharing the two others I made at the same time.

I just love this stamp set. The bouquets are simple and understated making them perfect card designs for any occasion. They are wonderful for a set of note cards…just change the sentiment or make simple, yet special greeting cards like these.
