I wish I could send all my dear friends a beautiful bouquet of flowers each week to brighten their lives and homes! But since that isn’t possible (both because of distance and cost), I created this beautiful card using the leftover piece from yesterday’s Blissful Bloom card. Here’s the diagram I posted of how I […]
Flowers
Thinking of you with Blissful Blooms
I’m still working on alternative ideas to this month’s Blissful Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit. Today’s card uses the FMS348 sketch from several weeks ago for the layout. I started with the below card base and cut it the front off (be sure to save the back for another card idea). Then I cut the card […]
Blissful Blooms for today
Today I made the August Paper Pumpkin cards exactly how the instructions said to do it. From start to finish, including punching out all the green and clear velum leaves, it only took me 15 minutes to make the two cards! And if you did them all at once in an assembly line fashion, it […]
FMS 351, meet August Paper Pumpkin
Oh, so many craft supplies, so little time. Is that one of common things you think to yourself? Me, too! I haven’t been taking advantages of my Paper Pumpkin kits, but I fell in to love with this August’s Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s so simple to make the 10 cards; aren’t they simply gorgeous?! So I decided […]
Garden impressions of the FMS349
During last month’s designer series paper sale, I bought several DSP sets the I was on the fence about adding to my abundant paper stash. But a bargain is a bargain, especially in crafting supplies, right fellow paper crafters?! Garden Impressions was one of them, but now that I’m looking at all the prints, they […]

Sweet Soirée flowers galore
Yesterday’s card (see it here) used the Sweet Soirée DSP, but one of the more graphic patterns. Today’s card uses the bold, large flower pattern with a Rich Razzleberry background. I based my overall design on the FMS328 challenge and a combination of several other cards I’ve seen using this paper. I started out with […]
FMS326-Daisy Delight celebration
Yesterday I watched my weekly Ronda Wade’s “Creating Success” live FB post. She demonstrated a darling candy holder using the Delightful Daisy DSP and the Daisy Punch. I’ve had both for quite a while, and you’ve seen several of my cards recently made with the DSP (here, and here). But I haven’t used the punch yet. […]
Spring is in the air for this birthday card
I needed a birthday card for my husband’s admin’s birthday on Monday so I started out planning a Soft Sky, Pool Party card using the Soft Sky striped paper from Season of Cheer. But I couldn’t get the Delightful Daisy DSP out of my head and quickly migrated back to this burst of spring flowers […]
