Holly Jolly Christmas

 I've been fascinated by pop-ups and interactive cards since I was a child. Now that I have grandchildren, I want to share that love (obsession, lol) with a new generation.

May Your Day Be As Amazing As You Are

 Last Spring I was fortunate to have enrolled in the Altenew Secret Garden Retreat. It was an all day event that featured amazing instructors and a huge cache of beautiful products.

Playful Watercolor Flowers

You've seen me use this stencil before. I used a portion of it in a recent blog post.

White Cap Peonies

 Peonies are always stunning. Imagine making them in ANY color.

This square card in Autumn colors was made using the White Cap Peonies Stencil from Altenew. There's no need to embellish. The flowers are striking by themselves. The sentiment is a strip of vellum that is embossed in black. Speaking of black...the black background was created with a technique that I learned from Lydia Evans. She has a FREE online workshop called Surprising Stenciling that explains it in detail.

Have a great day!

I am in love with the Altenew layering stencils. They are sooo much fun to play with!
