A sweet and simple design with an impactful sentiment. I love the exposed brick embossing folder on the background, but you could use any embossing folder from your stash or simply crumple the cardstock panel and flatten it out before adhering to the background. The photos show the dark layers as black, but they are Blackberry Bliss, which looks fabulous with Fresh Freesia. Let’s see what see what you make with this design.

It’s flowers upon flowers in the bold, beautiful Textured Florals bundle. Use them to create projects for weddings, Mother’s Day, spring, summer, and so much more! See what you can do!

Such a cute little gingerbread boy! Sadly the dies that coordinate with the retiring Sending Cheer Stamp Set, have sold out, but don’t let that stop you from getting this adorable set. All of the shapes are easy to cut with your scissors. Get this before it’s gone for good.
This holiday season, make your own gift tags and cards with the Sending Cheer Stamp Set. Stamp an image, then punch or die cut it and you have a tag—it’s quick and easy! But quick and easy doesn’t mean boring. Stamp a gift image in one color, then stamp a bow image on it in a bright ink for fun contrast. Or stamp a stack of stocking images and top each with a different color cuff. And don’t forget cards! Just imagine how festive these images will look on handmade cards.
