Citrus Blooms meet Night of Navy

 Even though I've done a card using Citrus Blooms before, it is such a versatile set, you can revisit it over and over again.

My inspiration came from the lovely Designer Series Paper, Mediterranean Blooms. It is paired with beautiful shades of blue and of course all the citrus images.

Elegant White on White Monochromatic Congratulations Card

 Every now & then we need a card that exudes elegance.  Perhaps for a wedding, anniversary or any milestone in ones life.  


I had a friend to text me last week asking for ideas for a wedding card and that prompted me making this one.

White on white with just a splash of smoky slate lends an elegance to this card.  I also used two different embossing folders for added texture and dimension.

Spotlight on Nature meets Country Lace

In the designing of this card, I drew from a couple different post on Pinterest, added my own flare and here you have it.  Simple country charm.  I thought this was super cute and a card you would be proud to send to anyone.  The best part about it is, you could make it for any occasion by simply changing the sentiments.

 Sophisticated Sled

Card #1


As I stated in the video, this is my first Christmas Card for Christmas in July and the first for the Christmas of 2024.

I find this such a cute and charming set.  I love the addition of the ice skates.



Not only is this a charming card it has a bit of nostalgia built right in.  I coupled it with the Designer Series Paper (DSP) called Iconic Celebration.

 Citrus Blooms is a lovely stamp set with dies and DSP.  The Mediterranean Blooms is a beautiful assortment of citrus fruits (lemons & oranges) coupled with beautiful greeneries.  It is complimented with Night of Navy, white, and Boho Blue.

I wanted to show you today how to use up what we most likely are to through into the trash.  The outter edges of our DSP are many times thought of as trash.  But I am going to show you that you can use these pieces to make beautiful cards.




I wanted to also show that you can use either color combination with this beautiful collection.

Two for One Angled Card featuring Wildly Flowering DSP

 What a simple, easy and yet elegant card you can make using this easy design.



All you have to do is cut two pieces of designer series/pattern paper at 4" x 5 1/4".  Stack them opposite of each other (the print you want to show on your card both need to be facing up toward you).

Measure down 3/4" on the top left side, and measure up  2" on the bottom right side.  Make a tic mark at both measurements then simply slice the paper.

Your next cut will be 1/2" on the left and 1" on the right & slice.  Easy peasy!!


For complete measurements
