A simple card can still make a big impact 💙

For this card, I used the Hello Friend Clear Stamp & Die Bundle from @heroarts to create a clean and cheerful design that's perfect for sending a little happy mail. The bold navy sentiment takes centre stage, while the scattered florals add just the right amount of colour and whimsy.

I finished it off with a simple twine bow for a touch of texture. Sometimes the simplest designs are the ones I love most!

Do you prefer clean and simple cards or do you like to add lots of layers and embellishments?

🚨 OLO Fine Nibs are LIVE! 🚨

I’ve been testing these for a while and I genuinely think they’re one of the most useful additions to the OLO system.

✔ Perfect for details
✔ Great for lettering
✔ Ideal for smaller stamped images
✔ Smooth enough for colouring too

Here’s a quick swatch of some of the colours I’ve been playing with.

Sometimes you just want to sit down, create, and not spend half an hour choosing supplies first. 🌸

This card was made using the Floral Elegance Greeting Card Kit from @altenewllc. Everything works together beautifully, making it easy to create elegant layered floral cards without having to hunt through your stash.

I followed one of the included designs for this card and loved how quickly it came together. Perfect for a crafty afternoon when you want maximum results with minimal decision-making!

Comment “FLORAL” and I’ll send you the link to the kit.

The way these layered flowers come to life with just a little ink blending gets me every single time 🌸✨

I used the Floral Trio Die Set from Alex Syberia Designs to create this soft floral thank you card, and honestly… I’m obsessed with how the peach and pink tones pop against that deep background 😍

Sometimes simple die cutting + blending is all you need for a really striking card design.
