Bringing a little summer to my friends in the north who are enduring winter right now. Dandelions and Dragonflies. You’re welcome! The new Dandy Garden Suite brings us the best of summer with Dragonflies, lady bugs, and a rich color palette of Calypso Coral, Bumblebee, Mossy Meadow, Misty Moonlight, and Blackberry Bliss what’s not to love? I paired this card with my Dandelion Wishes stamp set and the pretty patterned paper with the Dandelions. My little Dragonfly was punched out of another piece of the patterned paper, but I could also have stamped and punched him using one of the two Dragonfly stamps in the set.

A Merry Hello Two-Step hostess stamp and set brings holiday cheer to this quick and easy fun card using only three colors, one sheet of patterned Designer Series Paper and white cardstock. Two-Step stamp sets use coordinating stamps to layer on ink to make a complete image. For this card, the stockings are one stamp and the stocking patterns are another. Images can be stamped in the same color, stamped off to create a lighter version of the same color using two different colors as seen on this card. So cute and versatile!
