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

  • Quick cards for Men using paper strips!

    I thought paper strips were a perfect way to create cards for men.  So I chose some 1/2" strips of blues and greens and adhered them to a piece of White 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card stock at an angle.

    Add them at an angle, graduating colors as you go if you wish.  Once you're added strips trim off the excess on the edges.  

    Next I used the retiring Well Written 'birthday' dies seen here and cut it out of the stripes piece.  I wanted the greeting to reflect the same colors in the background.  So easy!  

    I adhered it to the Tasteful Labels die-cut with Multipurpose Glue. I stamped 'Happy' from the coordinating stamp set Well Said seen here and fussy cut it to add to the card.

    Next is another card with the exact same colors but totally different.  I adhered 1/2" strips to the edge of a White card base.  I didn't worry about the outer edge until I was done; trimming it off afterwards.  I focused on the left edge being even.   

    Paper Strips diagonal Well Written Save

    I added a skinny 1/8" strip of Night of Navy to cover up any unevenness on my left edge.  A length of Navy twine wrapped around and into a bow finishes it off. 

    The 'you' is from the Well Written dies and the 'make me smile' is rom the Well Said stamp set (heat embossed in White) on a Navy Tailored Tag punch.
