Paper Smooches Floral Thank You

Today, I’m sharing a spring-themed “thank you” card created with Paper Smooches dies and stamps.

Paper Smooches Floral Thanks

I cut the Dainty Flowers outlines twice from white cardstock and adhered the layers with liquid adhesive. I then adhered the outlines to the card panel and inserted the leaves and petals, (I added a little glue inside the outline areas beforehand), which I’d cut from colored cardstock. I used several other floral die sets to cut additional scattered flowers. I heat-embossed the sentiment from Lovely Thoughts and cut the sentiment out with a circle die. I adhered the sentiment circle to cardstock dry-embossed with the Taylored Expressions Weathered embossing folder.

Celebrating Sunny Days

Today I’m sharing a spring/summer-themed card featuring the Hero Arts Color Layering Graphic Flowers stamp set.

I created a one-layer card (with the exception of the dry-embossed strip on the left) using the stamp set and a MISTI. I’m completely sold on the MISTI at this point. (Note: the sentiment is designed with that distress on some of the letters; I realized that after stamping it something like five times!)

Mother’s Day Felt Blooms

Today, I’m sharing a Mother’s Day card crafted with die-cuts cut from the wool felt at Taylored Expressions.

Taylored Expressions Felt Project

This felt cuts like butter in my Big Shot! The colors are so rich and vibrant. I cut a variety of floral elements (stems, blossoms and centers) from Lip Gloss, Butter, Persimmon, Split Pea, and Carrot and the terra cotta planter from Latte.

I debossed the background with the Weathered embossing folder after stamping it with a sentiment in the Simply Succulents Stamp & Die Combo set.

I used a liquid glue that was designed for foam and felt to glue the pieces together. Because the felt sticks to itself, a lot of glue is not required.

I’ve got a long list of felt colors on my “to buy” list!

A Little Birdie Told Me

Despite rain and cold here in the Pacific Northwest, the birds seem incredibly happy. This CAS spring-themed friendship card was inspired by those hearty birds!

Die-Cut Spring Friendship Card

I paired a Hero Arts sentiment (I like the typeface, the length of the sentiment in terms of placing it on an A2 card AND what it says!) with the Paper Smooches die-cut birds and branch.
