Hello there, Sam here. White space does an amazing job of making an image pop off the card. You also don’t always need to showcase the entire image. I framed a portion of the new Delicate Stems Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates and Delicate Stems Stencils to create a visual spotlight and showcase this beautiful floral.

I don’t know about you but I can always do with another birthday card. In addition to all the birthday theme stuff this past week, my cards have been following a rainbow pattern. I think birthday and rainbow certainly go hand in hand.
Read MoreAt the moment Your Next Stamp has Coffee Cart Stamp and Die set on sale. Basically you can get them both for less than if you’d just bought the dies alone. So I thought it would be fun to make use out of the dies besides simply die cutting out the stamps. First I used the dies to create masks for overlapping images (tip for that below in instructions) and also I combined the bunny and cart die to create a large shaker window (again details on how to achieve the effect are in instructions).
