SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
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!)

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 …

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 …

Since my all time favorite color – Mint Macaron is retiring very soon, I am torn between using it or holding on to it (like a hoarder) for no other reason than not wanting it to be gone forever. A little crazy, I know. 🙂 My kids are always telling me I don’t …
This Special Reason Bundle (stamp set and Stylish Stems Framelits Dies) is so versatile. I decided to make this card very simple with just a few extra touches. I used So Saffron card stock and Subtles DSP along with a piece of Whisper White that I ran through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling …
These little note cards came to be when I was looking for an alternative to one of my Easter cards that we will work on at my next in-home workshop. I usually like to add a little something to the stamper’s gift baggies to store the cards they make at the workshop! 🙂 The …
