Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

April 2, 2021

Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is.

We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting. What are your traditions for Easter?

I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out. I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

Other products used here:

Word Wishes dies
Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!)
Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
Tasteful Textile 3D folder

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
