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!

Aqua embellishments and a soft teal background bring a cool, calming vibe—perfect for my teal-loving crafty friends! 💙🌸

A Little Edge… A Little Softness
Bold blooms with a moody twist! 🌼 This card features the Yana’s Daisies Collection by Yana Smakula for @teamspellbinders, with dramatic ink blending in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, and Black Soot. I paper-pieced the flowers in a black outline for extra depth and layered it all over a soft ink-blended background with splatter details. Finished with black twine and a simple sentiment, it’s bold, modern, and full of heart. 💜🖤
