SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
This is a great neutral card to send to that new little blessing in someone’s family! I used the Fruit Stand DSP for the layering piece which coordinates with the So Saffron ink I used for the carriage. This stamp is from the Something for Baby stamp set. I popped it up with a square …
Good news…. The new Clearance Rack has been updated and the discounts are really fantastic! Now is the time to stock up for sure! Click on the photo for the updated list. I am so sorry to see this Serene Scenery DSP go away, but I’m sure these butterflies from Watercolor Wings would work beautifully …
I used the retiring Crumb Cake Note Cards for this quick little Thank You set. These notecards are still available for purchase but will be discontinued and no longer available after June 1st!

Basket Bunch Bundle… so cute for Easter week! 🙂 This is all Basket Bunch stamps and dies layered on a checkered piece of DSP from Succulent Gardens in the Sweet Sugarplum color. I cut a few squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies and ran an aqua pen with some Sweet Sugarplum ink over them …
This Succulent Garden DSP is truly compatible with just about any stamp set. (FYI: The Succulent Garden DSP is on the retiring list. As of today, it was available and the price is discounted!) I used this DSP with both the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the Everyday Jars Framelit Dies for the Mint Macaron …
The Stylish Stems Framelits Dies (Special Reason Bundle) seems to call out for that glimmer paper every time! 🙂 For this card, I used the smaller floral die as a stencil first and then sponged through the stencil with Sweet Sugarplum ink around the negative space of the larger die from the Stylish Stems …
Probably my last two cards using the Avant Garden stamp set for a while…. This was one of the free stamp sets during Sale-A-Bration, and definitely my favorite!

I think this Dragonfly Dreams set was just made to pair up with the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper! Super simple to put this together with layers of glimmer paper, an embossed (Hexagon Embossing Folder) layer and the beautiful dragonfly as the focal image! I used a sentiment from the Suite Sentiments stamp set. This glimmer …
