Nested Domed Arches

More Geometric Inspiration

February 19, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing another fun, geometric inspired card using my beloved Geometric Builder Circles & Squares dies. I also used the smallest of the Nested Domed Arches dies along with a bunch of solid colored cardstock scraps.

SSS-Geometric Builder Squares & Circles, Nested Domed Arches

My inspiration came from this gorgeous Colorful Geometric Bauhaus Poster. If only my house could be this stylish.

Here’s a short, little reel showing how I created this card. I had to leave in the blooper where Frankie steps onto the Press n’ Seal. That cat is always trying to steal the spotlight!

Rainy Days

May 29, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using some older products. I was busy cleaning and organizing my stamps & dies yesterday. You know what happens when you do that? Well, first of all, you get completely overwhelmed and want to light the house on fire. Then you find old stuff that you forgot about and loved and feel inspired to use it again.

SSS-Rainy Days, Nested Domed Arches, Cozy Autumn Hugs

We have had a ton of rain here in Illinois, which inspired this card, but also, rainbow umbrella!!! I love the pop of color over the dark peacock teal background. I used the Rainy Days die set for the girl and one of the Nested Domed Arches dies to frame here. For the sentiment I pulled out the Cozy Autumn for a very something very simple. Forgot to mention, I used a tiny white gem for the center of the embrella and a tiny scrap of old pattern paper for the girl’s skirt.

I think everything looks better framed with an arch, don’t you? Here’s to some sunny and dry days ahead. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Out of This World Release Blog Hop

June 24, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Out of This World Release Blog Hop. You can check out all of the fun, new products HERE!

My first card features the Sunrise Stem Die. I framed it using one of the Nested Domed Arches and embossed a sentiment from Folksy Cats in white onto black cardstock.

My next card is pretty much the same, but this time featuring the Layered Perky Flower Die.

SSS- Layered Perky Flower, Nested Domed Arches

These cards are very simple, but sometimes I love the uncluttered, white space that gives the flowers a chance to shine.
