The Blossoms in Bloom made a great study in black & white! I can’t say that I’ve ever done a card without some additional color, and I really think this set makes it work! It’s a Puzzle! First I cut the thinner of the two dies from Basic Black.…

How is everyone faring? I trust you all are “sheltering in place,” as we Californians have been told to do! I suppose that is really the only way we are going to stop Mr. CV! Thank God for this craft of ours to keep our brains creatively working! So join…
I love the Poppy Parade color in Stampin’ Up!’s Peaceful Poppies DSP, but the native state flower in California is really more of a Pumpkin Pie color. Here is a photo from our front yard, showing a CA Poppy bloom: This vibrant orange and green is breathtaking. I had to…
