I have this bright, summery birthday card to share with you today. As I’ve said before, hearts aren’t just for Valentine’s Day. They are great all year round. This heart has two layers and is from the Country Bouquet stamp set.

I’ve made this card in two different colour ways. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

I’d forgotten how much I love this die and matching stamp set. They are gorgeous. I love the floral stamp and die sets, never tire of them. This is a card we made in a recent card club and I thought I would share it with you.

I have a few tips to share when putting together these flowers. The first is to layer up your pieces before you add glue so you know exactly where they go. Second, is use a silicon mat to stop the glue from going everywhere and thirdly I used my take-your-pick tool to layer the tiny centre of the pansy.

I’ve used the Beautiful Balloons dies on their own here. The paper is Bright and Beautiful. I love that the paper has these variations in colour as it gives the ballons extra interest with no extra work. The embossing folder in the background is Raindrops and I love it. It just adds a little something to the background. This is a card we made in May Card Club. You can find out more about my classes and clubs here. Some are in person and some are online.

I had to use this set again. I love wisteria so much. It’s so pretty and welcomes me home on the front of our house. Spring flowers are everywhere and it’s the best. Do you love flowers? They make me so happy—such beauty in form and colour.

I’ve popped up some of the wisteria flowers in this card to give it dimension and added interest. You could use more wisteria and have a really full card but I felt perhaps it looked too busy.

There are two things that make this card for me. The first is the gorgeous flower and the second is the Cane Weave embossing folder. I wanted to keep this card clean and simple. This really highlights the gorgeous flower focal image.

I coloured the flower using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The first card is Fresh Freesia and the second one is Tahitian Tide. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

This is a card I made for April Card Club and I wanted to share it with you. This uses just the dies from the Wisteria Wishes bundle. I love the purples and greens together. They make me think of Spring.

I’ve inked the edges of all the elements in this card. This adds shadow, giving depth and dimension to each die cut. It only takes a minute to do this but it really makes a difference to the finished project.

This is a very simple card but I absolutely love the sentiment. The little kitty next to the door is extra cute. I think it’s great to send a card just to let someone know they are not alone.

The card is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love them as they are easy to blend and more importantly I enjoy using them. Which colouring medium is your favourite?

Another Way to Use an Embossing Folder

This is a fun way to use your embossing folders as well as a great way to use up scraps. I stuck down the little squares of the designer series paper (DSP) first. The whole panel was then run through my die-cutting machine with the Gingham embossing folder.

This technique makes the DSP look as if it is embedded in the background. Such fun and has a very different look.

Most of the time we tend to use embossing folders with plain cardstock. I’ve used it here with the Distressed Gold speciality paper. It gives a great effect so different to using it with plain cardstock. I’ve used the Metal Plate embossing folder and it really gives this look with the Distressed Gold paper.

How to Ink over an Embossed Background

The trick to this technique is to use a very light hand when inking over your embossed image. You just need to glide your blending brush over the embossed image with no pressure at all. This way it will pick up the raised embossing only.

I’ve kept this card very tonal. The silver spring charm is quite chunky so make sure it is securely attached using glue dots or wet glue.
