Sending Big Floral Hugs

Hi Creative Friends,

I fell in love with the simple and “piecey” style of this floral design. And lucky for me, it was super easy to create this modern print by using the new Concord & 9th Spring Print stamp and die set. The die plate cuts out all the pieces for you to create your own by either using colored paper or in this case, blending inks onto each piece.

Double Fun with Peonies – video

Glimmering Peonies

Hi Creative Friends,

Today I have a card design to share with you that features beautiful peony flowers in a stunning floral display. It is the Glimmering Peonies by Spellbinders.

You can hot-foil this floral spray in any color you like and get different looks just by varying the cardstock and the hot-foil color. For a super fast card, just hot-foil on colored cardstock. Or, you can hot-foil and color it using your favorite medium. I chose to watercolor mine so I used hot-pressed watercolor paper.
