Pretty Flowers with Boutique Blooms Dies

What a creative way to use these Scalloped Blooms dies! Thank you Marcy Denning for this beautiful card in our Silver Sister Swap. To add texture, scrunch up the cardstock after die cutting (yes I said scrunch it up) and add a little coordinating ink to the edges with a sponge dauber, wedge of sponge or blending brush. Then layer them up. I love how Marcy incorporated two embellishments on the same card - I never would have thought to do that - with the Antique Pearls and new In Color Butterflies. Oh so pretty!

Using up Boho Vibes paper with cute treat holders

Was looking for the perfect treat holder to help me use up DSP and to add cuteness to these treats for my Elmira Community Living class this week! First off...let me just say that for $6.99 for 15, these full-sized bars are a great price for surprise and delight treats to hand out. I was thinking of making the bars, but decided I should stay in my lane and use the time to make the cute holders. This is the Boho Vibes patterned paper so when you're placing your new catalogue order, pick it up off the Last Chance list for $13.60 for 48 sheets! How did I make these? I used the retired Envelope Punch Board. If you've got one, you know how to use it. Your first score on the 6 x 6 inch paper is at 2 5/8 inches. Fold and adhere. Made 10 in less than 10 mins!

Happy Mother's Day 2026

Sending warm thoughts out to everyone today on Mother's Day - those close to us, those in heaven, and those many miles away. Thinking of all the amazing women who have touched my life and helped shape me into the person I am today. Have a beautiful day!

Gorgeous Moonlit Flora Thank You

Lush elegant colours on today's card from my Silver Sister Cindy Piggott where she used the gorgeous Moonlit Flora paper with one of our new In Colors, Golden Glow. This is a really economical way to use your pattern paper, too. From a 2" strip, you can get 12 cards out of a sheet of 12" x 12" paper by using it on the left with cardstock on the right. Hide the seam with a cast off strip of cardstock to hide the seam. This is a gorgeous card, Cindy!

Nature's Symphony Masculine Card

 Do you find Masculine cards to be a bit of a challenge to make? I do. Finding the right texture - ribbon or no ribbon - colours and just the right stamp - can all be a bit daunting. Nature's Symphony is such a versatile stamp set and with this large leaf in the coordinating die set, we've got you covered. The one die made this hashtag cut out above the greeting. What a nice touch. Embellished simply with the matching ribbon. This one's a keeper layout!
