EZ Strips Rectangles

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project inspired by a talented artist. I adapted the pattern to paper using the EZ Strips Rectangles dies and added a sentiment with the CZ Swoopy Thank You die.

Jane’s Doodles-Surprise

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a card using an adorable set called Surprise designed by Jane’s Doodles for Creative Expressions. For the die cut letters I used the Burst of Cheer die set by Concord & 9th.

I stamped the image with black ink and colored with copics. Then I masked off the image and blended & flicked distress inks for a colorful background.

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to share some products featuring the newest Bibliophile Collection.

The Greetery-Mini Shape Cards

There are so many gorgeous products in this new release. To begin I am sharing a trio of mini shape cards. These are so cute for adding to a gift or small note or even valentine. The first one uses the new Have a Spine: Short Story die set. This allows you to create a small book looking card. I added a sentiment from Shelved and framed it using the Folk Heart set.
