Loving playing with our 2026-2028 In Colors, in particular the return of Crisp Cantaloupe and the new Peaceful Pine on today's card. The delicate flowers on this patterned paper called Bloom Boutique with gold accents is a real stunner. To get these nicely matted, cut your patterned paper to 3 inches by 4 inches and the matte to 3.25 inches by 4.25 inches. Cut them both in half on the diagonal and they will match up beautifully. Give it a try!
We had a great time at my team member, Jane's home for our Shoebox Swap yesterday! I'll be showcasing everyone's cards. Such varying styles and great designs. This was my card using the de-bossed side of the Sunflower Embossing Folder with three inks: Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso. What a stunning backdrop it makes for this birthday greeting. I snuck a butterfly on there for good measure, too!
I've definitely been on a "circle" kick with my card designs! It's just a great way to a) use up some scraps of pretty papers and b) show off several patterns on one card. Today's features the Moonlit Flora which is my current go-to pattern. I've die cut the circles with the you-gotta-have-them Stylish Shapes dies layered over the Paradise Garden hybrid folder. Love how all the layers add texture and depth to this card. Enjoy!
Happy to share this lovely card from Melva Peters in our new catalogue swap. The vase of flowers is not a stamp at all but from the Artisan Sketched Garden patterned paper. There are oodles on two sheets to make loads of easy cards by using your favourite colouring medium: pencil crayons, Stampin' Blends, ink pads using eith er a Blender Pen or Water Painter. Super easy and very effective as it is framed by the Phrases and Frames dies. Love it!
