Featured Product of the Week: Mosaic Garden Suite (168579)
Today’s card uses another simple, tried-and-true layout—one that’s especially perfect when you have beautiful Designer Series Paper you want to show off!
I used the Tile Garden Dies again as mats, choosing two different patterned papers and then stamping the third square with coordinating floral images. I kept the sentiment simple, backed it with the coordinating ribbon from the suite, and added a little bling to finish things off.
For the background, I embossed the matted layer with a new embossing folder that’s part of another Suite Collection I’ll be featuring later this month. You may remember seeing a sneak peek of it a couple of weeks ago when I was sprinkling a few “sneak peaks” into my posts. It’s quickly becoming another favorite for those cards when you want a little something extra without adding a lot of work!

Today, I focused more on the Crisp Cantaloupe color, with just a little Old Olive thrown into the mix.
I love using this layout of alternating, angled paper layers, especially when I have beautiful Designer Series Paper with lots of patterns to choose from. It’s such an easy way to showcase several different designs without making the card feel too busy.
For the focal image, I matted a piece of cardstock with one of the Tile Garden Dies and randomly stamped the coordinating flowers in Crisp Cantaloupe and Old Olive. I added the sentiment on a punched circle and backed it with the gorgeous Crisp Cantaloupe Ribbon.
And that’s one of my favorite kinds of cards—a design that looks much more involved than it really is! 😉

I really wanted to use the unique stamp with the three little arches as a border stamp, but I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it.
So, I did what we crafters often do—just started playing! 😊
I stamped two rows of the arches, interlinking them as I went, and suddenly thought, What if I put them on an angle? I added the sentiment nestled between the two rows, then finished it off with a little bouquet of the coordinating flowers on the side.
The beautiful ribbon was the perfect way to tie everything together, and the Designer Series Paper in the background makes the perfect backdrop for those coordinating stamped florals.
Sometimes the best card designs come from simply playing with your stamps until something clicks!

Featured Product of the Week: Mosaic Garden Suite (168579)
The thing that attracted me instantly to the Mosaic Garden Suite was the Tile Garden Dies. Knowing how often I reach for my Spotlight on Nature circle dies, I had a feeling these square dies would quickly become a staple in my craft room. Then I fell in love with the soft blue hues of the Designer Series Paper, followed by the pretty embellishments and ribbon. So really, what was the point of not getting the entire suite collection?
The stamp set has that wonderfully distressed, vintage-inspired look. And while there aren’t coordinating dies for the stamped images, I didn’t mind doing a little fussy cutting. (I’m one of those people who actually finds it relaxing!)
For today’s card, I didn’t use the Tile Garden Dies, but I did stick with the square theme, using squares as a background to showcase the individual flowers arranged in a visual triangle. I also brought in one of the sprigs from the Delicate Whispers Dies (currently on the Last Chance List) to complement the florals.
To give the flowers a little extra dimension and sparkle, I added a touch of Hydrangea Hue Shimmer Brush to the petals. And, of course, the Glossy Garden Dots from the suite were the perfect finishing touch!

Featured Product of the Week: Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (168147)
Of course, I had to finish off the week with a card in my favorite cool colors! 💙
I used the Textured Tree Rings 3D Embossing Folder on Night of Navy cardstock for the background. One of my favorite Christmas color combinations is silver, blue, and white—there’s just something about it that feels so elegant and timeless!
To complement the navy background, I added Silver Foil leaves and a Basic White poinsettia. A few Moody Palette Glossy Dots add the perfect finishing touch to this stunning Christmas card!

Featured Product of the Week: Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (168147)
Who says Christmas cards have to be red and green?
This simple layout combines a Pool Party plaid strip in the background with white and gold poinsettias for a look that feels both elegant and rich.
Because of the beautiful deep impressions and embossed gold details, you really don’t need much to make an impact. One gorgeous poinsettia, a few leaves, and a beautiful Christmas sentiment are all it takes!
Simple, but certainly not boring.

Featured Product of the Week: Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (168147)
Today’s card takes a more traditional Christmas approach with Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce as the main colors. 🎄
The impression plate adds such amazing detail and texture to the poinsettias—I just love how it brings the flowers to life!
I added a few gold and Night of Navy sprigs from the Delicate Whispers Dies from my stash, along with some stamped sprigs from the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle. Everything is centered around the Everyday Arches Dies, which creates the perfect little home for the sentiment.
A little Wink of Stella adds just the right amount of sparkle to finish it off!

Featured Product of the Week: Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (168147)
Today’s card features the gorgeous embossed poinsettias from the bundle, created using the impression plate. The added texture makes these flowers really stand out!
I used two-toned Barely Blush cardstock for the flowers, alternating the light and dark sides for the different layers. A few more Peaceful Pine leaves are the perfect pairing with the gold background stamp and sentiment.
Pink may not be a traditional Christmas color, but I think this untraditional combination works beautifully. What do you think?

For today’s card, I stamped the poinsettias in Real Red and Barely Blush, with the leaves stamped in Peaceful Pine. I also added a few die-cut leaves in Peaceful Pine cardstock and used a die from the Phrases & Frames Dies to add a little extra foundation to the background.
