Spring Has Sprung!
Hi folks, Kavya from @handmadebykavya is here with some fun inspiration for Simon Hurley’s new collection – Tulip Garden. I love playing with dies, especially ones that can be used in multiple ways. You will find that the collection is versatile as well! I have three cards for you today, all inspired by different painting styles! Renaissance Tulip Painting My first card was inspired by Renaissance paintings. Muted florals on dark green faded background provides enough contrast for an interesting card! I started off by ink-blending some dark green cardstock with dark green and black dye inks. Then, I die cut the card using Stitched Starry Argyle die, Infinity Punch…

Graphic Stylized Design with The Fresh Picked Collection
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here to share some fun colorful cards made with the Fresh Picked Collection. Recently I’ve seen a lot of graphic stylized designs – large florals, fruits, or other images – manipulated so that they fit into a rectangle or other shape like a puzzle. Some describe this design as mid-century modern. You can see examples by checking out my Pinterest page here. In addition, the November Large Die of the Month Towering Blooms is also in that style. The Fresh Picked Collection has that bold aesthetic and I absolutely love it. The collection consists of 4 die sets – Buttercups, Daffodils, Berries, and Anemones. There is…

I will use these chosen colors throughout both cards. The design of the stencils fills up an entire card front and I wanted to tone that down a bit so I created a layered frame for the front of the cards. I’m using the Essential Arches die set…

This collection will give you everything you need to make many different wreaths. There are many add-ons available that allow you to make cards for any occasion. I decided to not make any wreaths.
