Hi Everyone,
Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us and I love the holiday so I was making one Valentine card after another. So, I have a backup of handmade cards for the cherished heart day.
Here is one of them, created using the Penny Black Red Blush stamp set and the Hero Arts Heart Infinity dies. The rose and bud are so pretty in this stamp, I knew I had to make something. My only regret was I didn’t get it done sooner!
Hello there,
Today we have brought big, beautiful pink camellias for you to enjoy. These camellias are from the Penny Black Camellia Die Set. I love how you can make this lacy flower just by cutting out the flower blossoms with the open petal die and back it with any paper or color it. In this card, the pink and red background is watercolored.
It is a bright winter day and it is such a pleasure to share Zinia’s sunny flowers, in anticipation of Spring, using Dylusions Paints. For those of you that may be new, Zinia Amoiridou of Abstract Inspirations is a very talented and super creative artist that loves art journaling or canvas creation. We feel so privileged to be able to share her beautiful and fun exploits.
This canvas is created with minimal supplies, but lots imagination! Try your hand at it, or scale it down and make a scrapbook page or even a card using these techniques.
If you want to learn more about Zinia, then scroll down and read her bio. Before you do, watch her latest video below. It is so vibrant and cheery, it makes you want to smile all day through!
It is nearly Christmas and what could be more timely… and beautiful than Saria Simmonett of Little Princess Cards DIY Christmas Wrap. Yes, Sarita has been creating again and has so kindly shared this project with us. Her elegant style makes this wrap extra special. Who wouldn’t love getting a gift wrapped like this?
Hey, hi there,
This is Amber and I am super excited to be back to share with you a 2fer – two different cards using the same PoppyStamps Poinsettia die set. This die set can be used to stack the layers for a truly dimensional flower or keeping them separate for a simpler flower. Take a look how each card has it’s own flavor and dimension.

Hi,
The card featured today is a card I had the pleasure of making with my sister, Sue who was visiting. She needed a special birthday card for a dear friend who has had a lot of medical heart-ache. We thought the Neat & Tangled Succulent Journaling Card stamp set would be a perfect starting point.
