Shop My Latest Cards

Some stamp sets make you smile before you even start creating. This adorable little cow from the Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness release was one of those products for me.

The Storybook Illustrations Collection by Josh Griffiths reminded me that not every card needs more. Sometimes the strongest design choice is trusting beautiful artwork enough to let it tell the story. In today’s post I’m sharing two woodland-inspired cards, along with the creative mindset that shaped both designs. Visit my blog for the full story, project details, and linked supplies.

This month’s Together by Design collaboration started with the same product for everyone, the CZ Design “Ho” die by @czdesign. Instead of thinking only about Christmas, our group embraced the playful way “ho” has become an ironic term of endearment among close friends. It was so much fun seeing how one little die inspired completely different cards. Here’s where my version landed. 😊

When I saw these adorable critters holding tiny pinwheels, I knew they needed one giant pinwheel to gather around. Today’s card for the Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Blog Hop features a handmade interactive pinwheel with a fun surprise.
