If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all.  Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog.  I love her style! 

I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!  

This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White.  I love a black & white card with a pop of color.  

Floating Technique All Together Save

The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May. 

I used the 'Floating' technique here.  I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies.  Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder. 

Products retiring:

  • Dandy Wishes dies
  • Garden Wishes stamp set
  • All Together 6 X 6" DSP

I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts!  They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold.  The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.  

I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.

Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog. 

I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring.  It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale! 

Retiring items:

  • Dandy Wishes dies
  • Garden Wishes stamp set
  • Flowering Fields DSP
  • Tailored Tag punch

  • Pansy Petals cards kit to go; pretty & spring-like!

    The new Pansy Petals designer paper is so pretty it was easy to create beautiful, eye catching cards with it. 

    Pansy Petals all Save

    Here are a few reasons why I love this new Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper:

    • It has three different sheets of gingham; all in the new In Colors
    • There are full sheets filled with life-like pansies and pretty leaves
    • The pansy dies coordinate with these flowers and leaves!  No fussy cutting if you have them. 
    • It features each of the 5 beautiful, new In Colors!!  

    Anyway; this pre-cut kit to go is available through May May 18th.  There is also a pdf tutorial available.

    This kit includes the following:

    • 1/2 pkg of Pansy Petals DSP (6" X 12")
    • 2021-23 In Color jewels
    • Soft Succulent ribbon
    • 10 pre-cut cards; 3 of the 5 designs are fancy folds!
    • the PDF tutorial including measurements, photos, supply list & step by step directions

    The kit does not include pre-stamped images, adhesive or stamps. I used the Pansy Patch bundle for greetings and the dies to cut out the flowers & leaves from the DSP.  You can also fussy cut them if you choose to.   

    *This kit will likely be mailed in early June due to a back-order on the In Color jewels. 

    Go here to order the kit to go.

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.

    I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card: 

    Quiet Meadow Save

    I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts.  It was actually very easy to do!  I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors.  I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems. 

    You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging.  I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.  

    I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink.  The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen.  That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies!  Can you see the shimmer on the flowers?  I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.
