Petunias in Bloom and A Hummingbird in Flight
This dimensional card features gorgeous products from Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s Summer Solstice Garden Collection at Spellbinders. I used the Petunia Cascade embossing folder to create a soft, elegant background, then layered in 3D petunias and a delicate hummingbird for a lifelike, garden-inspired look. The blooms are shaped and shaded to add incredible depth — perfect for showcasing by hand or in a gift box (definitely not one for a standard envelope ✋💌). This card is a little breath of summer in paper form, and it was such a joy to create!
A Wreath of Love for Mother’s Day
This floral card features the You Are My Favorite release from @SimonSaysStamp and is perfect for Mother’s Day 💙 I built a sweet wreath of tiny blue blooms around a bold sentiment and added just a touch of sparkle to finish it off. Simple, heartfelt, and full of love. #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
A Sunshine-Soaked Card
This card features the gorgeous gladiolus from Lisa Horton’s Wildflowers Collection at Spellbinders, paired with soft golden tones and elegant layers. I used a BetterPress plate to add delicate script texture to the background, blending in warm ink for a soft, sun-kissed glow ☀️. The stitched oval panel gives the florals a clean focal point, while the sentiment — “You make every moment golden” — brings it all together beautifully. It’s the perfect way to brighten someone’s day with a little handmade sunshine!
A Sweet “Hi” with Fresh Florals
This cheerful “Hi” card features the May 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month from @teamspellbinders! I paired the subtle embossed texture with bright, die-cut florals for a fresh and layered look. Aqua embellishments and a soft teal background bring a cool, calming vibe—perfect for my teal-loving crafty friends! 💙🌸
The Boldest Crayon
This bright + cheerful card features the May 2025 Clear Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month from @teamspellbinders! I created a rainbow row of stamped and die-cut crayons with a softly blended background and subtle embossed texture. The bold sentiment and playful layout make it perfect for sending a little encouragement—because you are the boldest crayon in the box! 🖍️🌈
Sending Warmth, One Bloom at a Time
This cozy card features the Mandala Blooms stamp set from the You Are My Favorite release by @SimonSaysStamp ☕ I used it two ways—Copic-colored on a die-cut mug, and tone-on-tone in the background for a rich, layered look. Warm colors, sweet details, and a little twine tie it all together! #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
Just Because…and Just Beautiful
This vibrant “just because” card features products from the You Are My Favorite release by @SimonSaysStamp 🎨 I watercolored the embossed florals with liquid watercolors and added a whole lot of splatter—white and black—for an artsy, expressive finish. Bold, bright, and perfect for sending a little sunshine! #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
Hello There, Sunshine!
🐥💛 This cheerful shaker card features products from the You Are My Favorite release by @SimonSaysStamp 🐥 A sweet little duck peeks through a circle shaker window filled with sparkly yellow sequins and surrounded by soft floral accents. It’s bright, happy, and perfect for sending a friendly “Hello There”! #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
A Bold, Geometric Hello
🌟 This clean and graphic card features the You Are My Favorite release from @SimonSaysStamp, and I’m loving the bold look! 🖤 I used the new A2 Rectangles die set to create a geometric layout from layered rectangles and topped it off with a bold “Hello” and a few enamel dots. Simple shapes, big impact! #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
