Sparkle of Love
Hi Creative Friends, I am sharing a sweet bouquet bursting with charming flowers from the Papertrey Ink die set called Into the Blooms: Mixed Bouquet.

There is an illustration on the back of […] 
Full of Love & Happiness

I couldn’t leave it without using the flowers in a totally different way to show you how versatile this set really is. The last time, if you remember, I used the whole cover plate, […] 
Happiness Blooms
Hi Creative Friends, I am sharing a new card design where the focal point is a sweet little bird among sprigs of tiny leaves.

This one comes from the stamp and die set of Happiness Blooms […] 
Birthday Peonies
Hi Creative Friends This card design was made especially for my daughter. She loves peonies, and what better way to say happy birthday than to make these gorgeous peonies from the Spellbinders Peony Celebration die set. Of course, it all started with the flowers. This set has three parts to it. The first is the solid background, which was cut from white cardstock. The second and third […]
