Cut up your Stamps - did she really say that?

Gonna let you in on a secret with today's stamp....it's a Background stamp called Floral Vignette with a lovely dotted oval pattern all around but I wanted more versatility so I cut the floral image out of the frame. What?

Yes, I cut it out. Photopolymer works great for that so now I have the oval frame separate from the floral stamp and I can easily put them together on block to use as it was intended. So very happy with this thank you card.

Moonlit Flora Divine Circles Card

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!

Sweet Birthday Card featuring the Nests of Winter Paper

Along with butterflies, one of my other favourite focal points on a card is birds. All kinds - all species - all colours. At my bird feeders in the backyard oasis, I am frequently visited by the Grackles so I've switched to Songbird seed to attract more colourful and less "pushy" types. This card was born out of seeing some cardinals, finches and sparrows visiting the perch. This paper is retired but I still have loads of the birds to continue making more cards like this.

Fluttering By with a simple layout

Sharing a sweet card combining some of our retired and last chance products with the All Aflutter stamp set and punch bundle. It's a butterfly punch and that makes my heart sing! What I love about this card layout is how versatile it is - just change up the patterned paper and embossing folder then swap out your butterflies and you've got a design for any occasion or holiday!
