Merry Christmas
Hi Creative Friends, I am sharing a Christmas card design featuring a beautiful stamp set by Penny Black called Snowbird Song. I couldn’t go through the season without using this stamp and die set at least once as it offers crisp and delicate pine branches, and if you choose, charming little birds. I didn’t use the birds this time (surprise, surprise), but I will be sure to […]

Friends Make Life Beautiful
Hi Creative Friends, In the latest release from Papertry Ink is a gorgeous floral stamp and die set called Winter Iris. These stunning flowers help create a beautiful display of iris-like blooms.

Enchanting Love
Hi Creative Friends, I am sharing a new card design featuring the beautiful stamp and die set, Enchantingly by Penny Black. Since Penny Black is the queen of florals, it is no surprise that this set has both a gorgeous single flower and a stunning floral bouquet.
