I had so much fun putting this one together! 💙🩷 T I had so much fun putting this one together! 💙🩷

The star of today's card is the Altenew Classic Alphabet Die Set. Instead of using a traditional sentiment, I die cut the word GIRL from a bright pink panel and popped it up over a bright blue card base for lots of dimension.

I then added flowers from the Mini Delight: Stylish Shades Stamp & Die Set, coloured to match the background, and finished everything with a simple "You Are Awesome" sentiment and a little black splatter.

Sometimes a bold sentiment and a few florals are all you need. 😊

A simple card can still make a big impact 💙 For t 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 the 🚨 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.
