Flourishing Florals
Hi Creative Friends, My card today features the new and beautiful spray of flowers in the Flourishing stamp by Penny Black. As you know, Penny Black excels at gorgeous flowers, and this one is no different. I don’t know the names of many flowers, but these are delicate and sweet, just the same! This card design begins with a piece of hot-pressed watercolor paper, the stamp, and […] 
Fluttering By…
Hi Creative Friends, Today I have another Papertrey Ink card design for you. In their last release, there was a myriad of butterflies to choose from. The Build-A-Butterfly and its matching stencil set really caught my eye! I often don’t have a preconceived notion of what my card design will look like. When this happens, I dive into creating the main subject and hope I’ll have a […] 
Fine Red Petals
Hi Creative Friends, I wanted to share one of the new stamp and die sets by Penny Black that our in our shop. I chose Finest Petals for this handmade card. Letting the flowers be the main focal point, I went for a clean and simple design. Starting with the flowers. Using a stamp positioner and a piece of hot-pressed watercolor paper, I stamped the flowers in […] 
Violets In Bloom
Hi Creative Friends, I saw a beautiful card with an awesome layout by Elizabeth Price (IG: @seeinginkspots). I have had it in mind for some time now, and finally, I’m going to give it a go. I used a few rectangular die sets by Penny Black and Into The Blooms: Violets for my flowers. I started with a sheet each of Alabaster cardstock by Spellbinders and Neenah […] 
Blissful Blooms Duo
Hi Creative Friends, We have lots to share today. First, we have a duo of card designs made from the same Blissful Blooms stencil by Kristina Werner and Concord & 9th. Using a nifty trick, we created the fronts of both of these cards at the same time. Check it out below. Then, the winner of our $25 gift certificate drawing is Marianne Chapman – YAY1 for […] 
Simply The Zest!
Hi Creative Friends, I am back with a fresh and sweet card design using the brand-new Into The Blooms: Lemon Blossom die set by Papertrey Ink. I love the Into The Blooms series but this one really struck a chord as it is exactly like the lemon branches on the tree in my garden! There are so many ways you can use this die set, but for […] 
Everything Is Coming Up Roses
Hi Creative Friends, In the last release of Concord & 9th and Kristina Werner, there were some awesome stamps and dies. One of them is the Long Line Roses set. Included in the set are a stamp, die, and stencil. I used all three of them for my project today. The set is well-thought-out and is beautiful too! As is often true with me, I wasn’t sure […] 
Graceful Flowers
Hi Creative Friends, Today, I’m sharing a clean and simple card that comes together quickly but packs a big, beautiful, flowery punch! As you know, Penny Black has awesome floral stamps with incredible detail. The ‘At Grace‘ cling/rubber stamp is just that! You only need a few supplies to make this fun color-resist card, and as I mentioned, you can make it in a hurry. I started […] 
Sending Sunshine
HI Creative Friends, I have another project for you today, It features the charming Dry flowers die set by Waffle Flower, accompanied by another great die, Cross-hatch. The minute I saw the Dry Flowers die set, I was smitten! I just love the wildflower look this set exudes! When I started this project, I was not quite sure what I wanted to do. So, when this happens, […] 
Glorious Peony
Hi Creative Friends, I am back with a project using another of Penny Black’s beautiful floral stamps. This time, I am using “Peony“, which has two glorious blossoms. This is a rubber cling stamp, so it requires less fiddling. In fact, I think the secret to these types of stamps, one that is not an outline but rather a fully detailed flower, is to stop sooner than […]
