A Smile Card Set Featuring Papertrey Ink Into the Blooms: Peonies Dies

I purchased the Papertrey Ink Into the Blooms: Peonies Dies and instantly thought of some crepe paper in the stash and decided to play around with the paper to create these blooms.  I am not sure that these photos do the cards justice.  They didn't turn out as nicely as I'd have liked, but they are still very different and, in the end, a lovely card set.

A Notecard Featuring The Greetery Oopsie Daisy Stamps and Dies


I was playing around with The Greetery Tartan Builder Stencils and created this background.  The stencil was offset wrongly and it left the white space that you see.  I decided to pair this background with some pretty florals made with The Greetery Oopsie Daisy stamps and dies.  In the end, I think that the background fits the white in the die cuts and so I am proud of the finish, even if  each piece isn't just exactly how I meant for them to turn out.

Let's Party - A Birthday Card Featuring The Greetery Big Balloons Dies


 I needed a very pink birthday card in a hurry and decided that this patterned paper makes a great background for some ink blended The Greetery Big Balloons die cuts.  I'm very pleased with how this card turned out, simple and effective.

With a Grateful Heart Notecard Featuring The Greetery Mimosa Musings Stamps and Dies


 I had some of the The Greetery Rustic Wreaths Twigs die cuts sitting in a pile so I decided to pair them with these The Greetery Mimosa Musings stamped and die cut images with a few The Greetery Layered Leaves stamped and dies cut images.  I am pleased with how this card turned out as it is a bit different than my usual.

I paired by favorite Distress Oxide ink colors with the Papertrey Ink Blooming Thoughts stamp and die set to make this set of cards.  The background die cut was cut using The Greetery Postage Stamp die set.  The Bible verse sentiments are all from Stamp Simply Words of Encouragement stamp set.

Hello Notecards Featuring WPlus9 WPlus9 Hello and Thanks Stamp

This simple set of cards features stamping with white pigment ink on kraft cardstock.  The classic look paired with the image colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers is a nice focal point.  I used a white pigment pen to create the stitched edge to the card.

Notecards Featuring Altenew Stamptember Fabulous You Stamp

I so enjoy the Prize Ribbon Distress Ink that I used it with a very damask background to keep the color the center of attention.  I used one of my first layering stamp sets, a Stamptember set from Altenew called Fabulous You.  Classic and simple.

Valentine's Day Notecards Featuring The Greetery Botanticuts Forget-me-not Dies

I had my The Greetery Botanticuts Forget-me-not dies out and decided to put together a couple of Valentine's Day notecards using the flowers made with these dies.  I paired them with The Greetery Heart Leaf Jumbo Posy Pocket die cuts and some lovely patterned papers.  So fun!

I made this delightful Wedding Shower card using my The Greetery Heart Wood Slices dies.  The card practically put itself together once I decided on using the heart wood slices. The flowers are made using The Greetery Botanticuts Forget-me-not dies.

Simple Enclosure Cards for Valentines

I decided to make a few enclosure cards using my valentines products.  This first was die cut suing my The Greetery Heart Leaf Jumbo Posy Pocket die and then stamping with a floral and sentiment from The Greetery Sealed with a Kiss stamp set.  Simple and pretty!


My next card is also a shaped card using the Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart stamp and die set.  The stitched edge adds a bit of complexity, but I really like how these cards turned out.



The last card - simple design as well - using Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart stamp set.  These cards allow for a more CAS look and I really like the look.

Getting into the Valentine's Spirit - Featuring The Greetery Signed and Sealed with a Kiss Stamp set

I used a designer card example from The Greetery Signed and Sealed with a Kiss stamp set as inspiration for a set of valentines in order to get me in the spirit of the season.  Kraft is such a pretty contrast to the red in this card and offsets the white so well.  I'm very pleased with how these cards turned out.
