Sweetest Cherries

I was playing around with the Sweetest Cherries set last night. I created two cards that I thought were pretty cute! I went to clear up my creative mess and realized I accidentally laid one of them in my Sweet Sorbet stamp pad! Have you ever done that? Well, I believe you can fix almost anything in crafting! Here is what I did. Here is my first card. See that nasty red line on the upper right-hand corner? Bummer! I tried a few things to remove it, but it just made it darker. I decided to go to my trimmer. I ended up cutting off about 3/4 inches from all three sides of the card. I did the same for the inside since I had already stamped a sentiment in there. Here is my 'new' card. I actually like it better now! I ended up using dimensionals to pop up the front panel. I sponged the edges of the inside sentiment and put it all together. What have you done to save a card or project after making a mistake? I'd love to see your creativity! Sweetest Cherries card 1 Sweet...

Shutter window card

Hello and welcome! Today's card features a fun fold that looks a bit like the shutter on a camera. There is a bit of math involved, but it is totally worth it!

Prized Peony

Yes, I'm sharing more flowers. What can I say? Flowers are good for almost every occasion! They are a great investment. The stamps I am highlighting today are the Prized Peony set (#152504) and coordinating dies (#152701). I made several samples with the set using the different elements. At the end of this post, I have included a video of how to stack the dies to make the beautiful 3D Peony. This first example uses a card base made from the InColor Fresh freesia, embossed with the Checks embossing folder from the Checks and Dots set (#155432). These little half folders are perfect for highlighting just part of your card. I layered white cardstock on the left and a strip of Bumblebee cardstock down the center. The tiny little strip of gold is from a gold Wink of Stella I had lying about. I stamped the Peony with my Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad (#132708) and colored it with the blends in Highland heather (#154887) and Light Granny apply Green (#154885) blended with...

Simply succulent bundle....with sparkle!

This is one of the sets I didn't think I needed till recently. What really sold me on it was the large background die that came with the bundle. I am totally in love with it! Today I am sharing a few cards that focus on that background die. These first two are super easy but totally gorgeous! I used the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056) with the background die cut out in Thick White Cardstock (#159229) for the first one and Basic black cardstock (#121045) for the second one. I used a sponge on a binder clip dipped in multipurpose liquid glue to glue it all together. The saying is from the Simple Succulent set that comes in the Potted Succulent bundle (#154330). The next card was actually really fun to do. I cut out TWO of the backgrounds in white cardstock. I glued one down to a piece of cardstock (4-1/2 x 5-1/2). Using the die as my guide, I colored in the succulents using the blender markers. It looked kind of messy! After I was done coloring, I glued another backgroun...
