Painted Poppies in a window


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.

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.  

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.

  • Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

    I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

    It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

    That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

    If you’d like to see how to assemble this card please watch the video below. And don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here.

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


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

    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.

    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:

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