Happy Easter Greetings with a half sunburst layout

I've shared this card with our online Demonstrator group and got some great feedback. Want to join that FB group? Get the Starter Kit! I'd love to have you join my team, The Inksters.

They loved the half starburst look with these soft subtle spring colours: Lemon Lolly, Balmy Blue, Old Olive and a touch or Pretty in Pink. For these angled starbursts, I cut three strips of 2" x 3 1/4" patterned paper. Then I sliced each one in half diagonally. I started in the centre so the two long straight edges matched up then moved out from there. And it came together just like that. Enjoy!

Paradise Garden Hybrid LEAF Embossing folder

 I love leaves in card making: stamps, dies, patterned paper, embossing folders. All of them. They add just the right dimension. Let me tell you that this new Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder is my new fave! Holly used this and the coordinating patterned paper for her Stampin' Social Swap. Love it so much, I had to get the bundle for myself. You'll be seeing much more of it in my craft projects. Thank you Holly, I love it!

Beautiful Pattern Arrow Card

My long time friend and Team Member, Dawn, really knocked this one out of the park for our March Team Stampin' Social Swap! This is a variation on the Arrow Card layout. Still fits in a standard envelope, but packs a wow with the angled look and showing off your patterned paper to the fullest. I've seen a new way of getting your hand cut greetings to be evenly spaced by tracing around the stamp outline with a light pencil. Then cut out the stamped image just inside that pencil mark. You'll follow the stamp's outline perfectly. Love this card, Dawn!
