Okay, but can we take a moment for these florals? Okay, but can we take a moment for these florals?

I created this card using the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Fragrant Florals from @altenewllc and honestly, that huge floral image does not need much help to look absolutely gorgeous.

I went with soft pinks and deep green leaves, then cut the circular aperture so the “Stay Beautiful” sentiment could peek through from underneath. Of course, I couldn’t leave it there, so we’ve also got foam tape, a bold black sentiment strip, twine doing its own thing and a little scattering of sequins for sparkle.

Soft and elegant… but still with enough going on to keep me happy!

What colour would you use for these flowers? I’m already thinking this would look incredible in blues.

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?

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?

There’s something about a soft, neutral Christmas There’s something about a soft, neutral Christmas palette that gets me every time. 🤍🌲

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.
