There are a few ways you can add texture and dimension, but one that is really is by using dimensional stickers, like the Timeless Butterfly collection, which are the feature of this set of cards!

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken.  The gorgeous patterns and beautiful sentiments inspired me to create two cards and a gift card pocket that are delicate and sweet like the designs in the collection.

You can see the five new designs here. In this post I’ll be showcasing three of them! First up the gorgeous Flower Pattern Glimmer Hot Foil Plate, which is my favorite!
