Radiant Joy
Hi Creative Friends, It is a crisp Saturday in December, and what better way to enjoy the day than a lovely holiday card! The very talented Carrisa Wiley @carrisawiley inspired this card design. She is a wonder! For my version, I used Concord & 9th’s Halo Piercing die. combined with Spellbinders Poinsettia Spray die set. To start, I reached for my trusty Concord & 9th Assorted cardstock stack and […]
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 […]
Just Picked
Hello Friends! It’s Dana (IG: @dkirbystamps) here today, and I am back with a card that uses the Just Picked die set from Concord & 9th.

Christmas Poinsettias
Hi Cardmaking Friends, I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest… Sadly,I didn’t catch the maker’s name, but it was beautiful. I just had to make something akin to it! I can never resist making at least one card every holiday season that is poinsettia-centric. I love these beautiful open flowers. They are filled with yummy festive colors. The Lovely Layers: Poinsettia from Honey Bee […]
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 […]
Winter Greenery
Hi Cardmaking Friends, The theme of today’s holiday card design is a perennial favorite of mine. I love poinsettias. They have beautifully rich and velvety petals and are so iconic of the season! To bring my card to life, Kristina Werner’s Winter Greenery was a perfect match. It has a stunning selection of poinsettias and accompanying foliage. I began my card design by stamping all the flowers […]

I love flowers and these sweet flowers in the set are such fun to create with. And speaking of fun, let’s have a little and start a $25 gift certificate GIVEAWAY. Since this is my second card design using Poinsettia Spray, why don’t you let me know which […]
