I’m sharing this card with you today but I can tell you it nearly didn’t happen. I coloured the flowers from the Everlasting Beauty stamp set – and I hated it! I tossed it aside and that was my crafting done for the day. Do you ever feel like that??
The next day I picked it up. I still didn’t love it but thought maybe I could do something with it. So I finished the card and actually it wasn’t so bad. So here it is.
The flowers were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. And the flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape on White card to create a background. The Old Olive card strip was embossed with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Go-To Greetings Stamp Set.
So I thought I would share – if you feel discouraged with a card firstly, don’t be hard on yourself. If need be step away from it, put it aside. Later maybe come back with fresh eyes and see that it may not be too bad. And really aren’t we our worst critic.
Have a Happy day and Be Kind to yourself.

I have a card to share with you that I shared creating on an Instagram Reel just recently. I thought I would share it with you here today.
This card uses the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies and the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I have shared lots already with it. It is so gorgeous.
You can get a look of blending in the background of the circle using one of the prints in the Hello Irresistible Paper. You don’t have the mess with it.
What I particularly wanted to point out to you is the Scored lines. See them better in this image below top and bottom of the words.
To create the scored lines:
Stamp the sentiment. Measure the distance below the sentiment and above giving a little space either side.
Flip the card over. Using the Paper Trimmer and the Scoring Blade score a line near the bottom which would be below the sentiment.
Score higher up which should be just above the sentiment. Score another line just above that.
You can try a scored line vertically. Try a frame around the card. There are so many options. I hope you get to try one yourself.
The Irresistible Blooms Bundle and the Hello Irresistible Paper are part of the Online Exclusives available now.
There are so many lovely exclusive products.
The Online Exclusives can be viewed Online but can beordered through my store or directly through me as with any of the other lovely products.

I have been playing a lot with the Adventurous Journey stamp set lately. It’s such a great one for the boys cards. It was fun to use this in class last week too.
I wanted to try something a little different. I have noticed Book Binding Fold cards around and thought that would work well.
Here is the card.
The outside.
The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment I stamped the words on the Balmy Blue card and Crushed Curry Card. Then diecut them with the long sentiment die in the Sending Dies. It was easy to just trim them down.
I find that a lot easier than trying to squeeze a sentiment on a thin strip of card.
The paper is from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack which is a Host Reward in the Mini Catalogue. It’s great paper by the way. It has such a range of colours and prints. Why not take a closer look at it.
This is the inside.
I think I will just have to put together a video soon for it. So stay tuned on that.
