Spring and Sunshine for Easter
What better day to celebrate spring than Easter Sunday? Today I used the Spring and Sunshine stamp as a focal image and glittered butterflies from the Flying Butterfly Border in the background. Happy Spring!

Wishing you a day that Sparkles
What kind of cards come to mind when you read this sentiment? "Wishing you a day that Sparkles"
I think I'd use it for Birthday, Cheering up, Thinking of you...even a Get well or Surprise...I was thinking of you today kind of card. It'd bring a smile to that person's face when they pulled it out of the envelope, don't ya think?
I used shimmering bliss, a piece of scrap glitter card stock and flashy gems to create this sparkly card.
Stamps used: Wishing you a day that Sparkles and Delicate floral borders (set of 2).
Product used: Shimmering Bliss (Mermaid).
The new April release of stamps is 15% off through 4/8.

Card featuring the Agapanthus Silhouette
Did you know another name for the agapanthus flower is Lily of the Nile? The internet is full of all kinds of fun little tidbits of info.
This card features the Agapanthus Silhouette stamp from the April release. Have you seen them yet? You've got to take a look. This month is loaded with happy spring, floral, cat, wine, and sparkly sayings.
A cloud background, like I used on this card, is a nice go-to for so many cards. The blue and white clouds set the perfect backdrop for most cards, especially sympathy. You can find cloud print background paper at most craft stores or you can create your own with stencils, stamps, or a torn paper towel with a cotton ball and white ink dabbed lightly along the torn edge, then moving the towel down and dabbing some more on a blue card stock (or blue clouds on white card stock). Lots of creative ways to create a pleasant cloud background.
I also used the Sending Caring Thoughts stamp from the Difficult Time, set of 2.

Oh My Sequins!
Hello!
Years ago, I bought a bunch of sequins to use as embellishments on my cards. I haven't used them in a long while and they are just collecting dust. I wanted to see if I could find a creative way to incorporate them into the card and make them a focal point. I used a rainbow die as a template/pattern because I was worried if I "winged it" I would make a mess of it. I love how it turned out.
