The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.

January 8, 2020
For January I chose to feature the Parisian Blossoms specialty designer paper for my cards kit to go. The champagne foil accents and gorgeous patterns were sure to help create beautiful cards. Look!

Save

I am thrilled with how they turned out. Two of the 5 designs are unique fun fold cards which are always a delight to create. There are 10 cards in this kit; 2 each of 5 designs. I used the following inks: Pool Party, Black, Petal Pink, Cherry Cobbler and Grapefruit Grove.

This kit to go includes $20 in actual product (before tax & shipping). You're getting the 10 cards kit for just $4.35! If you like pre-cut cards you will LOVE my monthly kits to go!

I added the So Sentimental bundle for my greetings and some die-cuts. It's my top favorite bundle in the new 2020 mini catalog. Look; it's full of awesome greetings and lots of stitched die-cuts!

Painted Poppies in a window

January 7, 2020

Adding dimension and interest to a clean & simple card can be a challenge. Adding a window with the Stitched Nested Label dies does it easily.

Save

I had this window piece in my bag of White scraps, so it was extra easy to make this card. I used the Stitched Nested Labels; which are a 'must have' in my opinion. Next time you want a die-cut, consider die-cutting it in the center of a larger piece so you can use both pieces!

The top White piece is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", the second White layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8". The Granny Apple Green piece is 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".

Just like yesterday's card I used my Dark Poppy Parade blends marker to color the new 1/4" White Crinkled ribbon for the bow. Both of the images are stamped in Black Memento ink. I colored the green leaves and bud with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker. The poppy flower is colored by stamping with one of the stamps in the Painted Poppies set.

Save

The greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set; it's free with any $50 order right now during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see all of the free items here.

I love the new Peaceful Poppies suite and have created 10 project sheets to send to everyone who places an order in January. Details below:
