Simple Beauty

 

I saw a similar layout on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. The die-cut piece is only cut on the right-hand side of the image with a Designer Series Paper under the cut image. Such an elegant way to dress up the background on a stamped image. I added a Wink of Stella to the roses to make them shine... I left the other flowers bare.

Thanks for stopping in!

Bundt Tags

My niece (who is in kindergarten) was principal of the day for her school. Her mom and her purchased bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cake to give to all the teachers. She asked me to create a sticker label to place on top of the containers.

I realize after she showed me to picture, that I made the sticker label a bit too big for the container top, but it worked out well anyway.

Designed in My Memories Suite digital software and die-cut out with circles dies.

Thanks for taking a closer look.

 

2025 Graduate

 

My nephew just graduated from high school! We are so proud of him as he struggled this last year. We hope that whereever he decides to go... it puts him on a path to a great career.

I designed this within My Memories Suite digital software. The sentiment is one piece... yet I recolored the "graduate" a blue color to match the tassel.

Thanks for looking!

Twinkle Spotlight

 

I loved the simplicity of this card by Heidi Collins. I changed mine up a bit to make it my own, but wanted to share where I got my inspiration from. Thanks Heidi!

Now, when I saw this card... I'm like - good, it has a die-cut to match the stamp image. Boy was I wrong. I'm impressed with your cutting skills Heidi! I'd rather have a die-cut than to fussy cut, but I believe I did an ok job! lol

Memorable Leaves

Thanks Julie for your inspiration!

Ice Skating Birthday

 

My niece is taking ice skating lessons and will have her birthday party at the ice skating rink. I didn't have a Stampin' Up stamp of a ice skates or an ice skater, so I went online and found this one on FreePik website. It's perfect for her! 

So, once I created it... I felt it needed more to the card, so I added the Melon Mambo ribbon detail.

Wonderful Nature

 

I finally received my 'Spotlight On Nature' stamp set (it had been on backorder for so long)! I chose to re-create Karen Trelfa's card just with different colors and background embossing folder.

I added a Wink of Stella to the petals and butterfly to make them shine.
