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.

(I knew I didn’t have one at home, […] 
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 […] 
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 […]

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
