Golden florals on deep green cardstock will always Golden florals on deep green cardstock will always have my heart.

I created this thank you card using the Botanical Elegance Alcohol Marker Coloring Sheets from @altenewllc, colouring the flowers in warm golden tones before cutting them out and building this bold floral arrangement.

I love how dramatic the deep green background makes everything feel, especially with the soft foliage, layered sentiment and all those little finishing details.

Would you keep the flowers golden, or go for something completely different?

You can find more details over on my blog through the link in my bio.

Soft greens, sunny daisies and a rather dramatic p Soft greens, sunny daisies and a rather dramatic pink sentiment… this card has a little bit of everything I love 🌼

I created this thank you card using the new Daisy Frame Bundle from the Every Happiness release by @simonsaysstamp.

Rather than using the floral image as one complete frame, I split the design between the top and bottom of the card to create space for that large ombré “Thanks” sentiment. A softly stamped background, vellum shadow layer, iridescent sequins and a little natural thread helped bring everything together without taking attention away from those gorgeous flowers.

Would you keep the daisies yellow, or colour them in a completely different palette?

For this card I reached for the Sleigh Bells Ring Collection from @rosiestudioinc, layering the beautiful die-cuts to create a woodland-inspired Christmas scene. I love how easy it is to build lots of dimension when everything coordinates so perfectly!

The best part? You can recreate this look using the Sleigh Bells Ring Value Pack, making it a great option if you’re looking to get started with the collection.

Can we just take a moment for this Santa? 🎅❤️ The Can we just take a moment for this Santa? 🎅❤️

There’s something so satisfying about a finished Christmas card, especially one with a little vintage charm. The combination of the rich reds, kraft postal details, gold splatters and that adorable Santa from the North Pole Mail Stamp Set has completely won me over.

I’ll be making this card LIVE on the @papertreyink YouTube channel on Friday 24 July at 6pm BST, so if you’d like to see how it all comes together, I’d love for you to join me!
