Garden Lane Designer Series Paper is a beautiful mix of greens. And only greens. Well, with a smidge of white here and there. It’s pretty and fresh — makes me want to hold a garden party! I used the Floral Essence Stamp Set and Leaf Punch along with the DSP…
I chose Follow Your Art DSP for today’s post because, well, it’s Friday! I gave you Mosaic Mood on Monday, Washi on Wednesday, now Follow Your Art on Friday. See what I did there? haha! Here is my card: OK, raise your hand if you love this DSP. That was…
Oooooo, Pressed Petals is another new favorite! I held off getting this one when I was prepping my Paper Shares because 4 of the sheets are designed in a way that you can’t really cut the sheet in half. You’ll see what I mean when you see the video. Little…

This card is all about having fun. My 5-year-old grandson, like most kids his age, is fascinated with dinosaurs. So what could be more perfect than an “I love you” card made with Dinoroar Designer Series Paper?! I did a simple layered card front with Balmy Blue for the base…

Framing has become very popular in the papercrafting/cardmaking industry. I’ve seen it in a few places and thought I’d try it with a jar of flowers. I am very pleased with the results! The frames are easy to make with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. First I glued a 5-1/4″ x…
Really, with paper this gorgeous, who needs fancy die cuts and embellishments? I am using the Designer Series Paper called Petal Promenade. It took me awhile to warm up to this paper — why? I don’t know– It is gorgeous! I guess it took seeing it in person to really…
