Heartfelt Get Well Cards Featuring The Greetery Wood Hearts Slice Dies


Oh but I needed a get well card recently.  I had made a bunch of The Greetery Botanticuts Forget-me-nots using the dies and watercoloring the die cuts and adding accents with Polychromos pencils.  So I decided to pair the pretty flowers with The Greetery Wood Hearts Slice die cuts and it is a good match.


The patterned paper in the background was very inspiring, so I'm sure you'll see more cards with a similar vibe coming soon!

Comforting Cards Featuring Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood Stamps and Dies

I was inspired by Yana Smakula's video using Colorado Craft Company's stamps and decided to pull out my Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood stamps and dies to see if I could recreate her look.  These two cards are the result of that effort and I really couldn't be more pleased.  I stamped the images onto Bristol cardstock and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color the die cut images.  So pretty!



 It is always difficult when you need a sympathy card.  One of these went out right away and the second card is in the stash for the day when sending some care and encouragement is needed.

Crafting Together Utilizing The Greetery Balloon Blooms Stamps and Dies




My good friend Kyle and I had a crafty get together.  I made a similar designed card for her birthday last year and she wanted to try to make some to give away this year.  Of course, I'm up for a crafty good time and these cheery balloons using The Greetery Balloon Blooms stamps and dies are just the trick.  She did a lovely job on the stamping, that MISTI really does the job nicely!



I also put a few together for my stash following our crafty session.  It is good to spend time with our friends.  I think Kyle sometimes tolerates my craftiness, but that's one of the things that makes her a good friend!

Landscape Notecards Featuring Art Impressions Watercolor Stamps


I'm back today with a few watercolor cards that I created a while ago and they sat in the stash unmade for a while.  I just love, love, love my Art Impressions watercolor stamps and always enjoy using them.  This should mean I use them more often, but somehow I get busy with other things.  This first card is my favorite... so charming and sweet.




 I guess I'd have to say I like them all.  Never a disappointment, they always deliver a satisfying, artsy result.

Notecards Featuring Unity Stamps Funky Flowers Slimline Stamp


I've been a pretty unabashed fan of Ann Corbiere-Scott and her artsy goodness.  This means that I jumped on the chance to pick up the Unity Stamps Funky Flowers slimline red rubber stamp.  I set about making these two cards utilizing Taylored Expressions Mini-slim Scalloped Rectangles dies to back the finished coloring.  The first card was stamped onto Bristol cardstock and colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  It makes a striking take on the card.


The second card was stamped onto Bristol cardstock and colored with my Polychromos pencils.  Woo Hoo!  Not as striking, but I do love me some green and this card makes me unreasonably happy.


 There are more in the making, but these two cards are definitely a great start.  Go check out Ann's design printables as well.
