This week’s colors were perfect for use with a stamp set I just recently got – “Gift from the Garden”. I used my Stampin’ Write markers to ink up the stamp, and I used the new Layering Ovals Framelits to frame the image. The greeting is from “Thoughtful Banners”. I … Continue reading
This card is not obviously a z-fold card, but there are actually two z-shapes here. The panel at the middle of the card is one section of the second “z”. You can see this smaller “z” as the card opens… Isn’t it fun? It’s clever but easy, and it also satisfies … Continue reading
I kept the layout and embellishments simple on this one, so that we could appreciate the two-step flower from “Touches of Texture”. I stamped the outline in Crushed Curry, with added Pumpkin Pie from my marker at the center of the flower. I used a light touch of So Saffron (stamped … Continue reading
My plan for this card changed a bit as I created it. It is basically an inlaid die cutting project with two Night of Navy thinlit hearts under the Washi Tape heart. I had intended to stack the thinlit heart shapes directly on top of each other. In the end, … Continue reading

The birthday greeting is a single stamp “Stylized Birthday” and that great thank you is from “Thankful Thoughts”. … Continue reading
My first two cards created with “Jar of Love” use fireflies. Not only is a jar of fireflies a sign of summer, it’s a throwback to childhood for me. We would collect those little wonders as long as they were out…just to let them go before bedtime. I stamped the … Continue reading
The new Layering Ovals Framelits create a beautiful frame for this flower and greeting from “Bunch of Blossoms”. The flower is stamped with Pink Pirouette and Flirty Flamingo, and the greens are Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush. Have a great weekend!
What a soft and lovely color challenge we have this week! I think it’s highly unlikely that we will get a masculine card out of this challenge, but who knows? If you really want a challenge, make a masculine card with these colors! I am thinking ahead to when my … Continue reading
