Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
I love the Grateful Bunch stamp set, but one of the images I love the most is the border lace. I think it’s so dainty. This set is available as a bundle with the Blossom Punch. The punch reminds me of Boho Blossoms that we used to have a couple of years ago. This is a 3 x 3 card – it’s not mailable, but …
Today’s card features the Birthday Blooms set and Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (DSP). One of the things that attracted me the most to this set was the font – it just seems like a cheerful one, doesn’t it? I colored the flower with a Blender Pen and put my scissors to work to cut the flower – a lot of twists and turns but well …
Today’s project combines the Botanicals For You, Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack (Sale-A-Bration items), Botanical Blooms Stamp, Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper and the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies.

Happy Home is a nice stamp set with some cute sayings. Several of my customers have said the art work reminds them of Winnie the Pooh. What do you think – do you agree?

Today’s cards were made with the Cottage Greetings Stamp and the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I like the font and the small flowers in this set. If you look closely, I stamped another flower in the set on two of the cards, embossed all 3 with the Brick Wall Embossing folder and sponged the lines around the bricks for added dimension. I used the Deco …

Have you tried the new Whisper White Thick cardstock yet? Here’s what I think of it in comparison to the regular Whisper White cardstock.
