These shaped critter cards are inspired by THESE Winter Woodland Critter Huggers Shaped Gift Card Holders cards I created a couple years ago. The duck, bunny, and chick are perfect for Easter!
The stitched heart from the Stitched Gift Card Pocket was die cut into the back of each card because I love the look of finishing a cutie like this with a fun little heart! Heart accents were die cut from shimmer cardstock using a Say What Gift Tags Die.

I am such a huge fan of creating multiple cards when I have products out on my work table. Especially when there's a bit of "extra" work involved. In this case, masking off each flower to ink them in different colors instead of all one color. These thanks cards are going to a local Kansas hospital to thank doctors and nurses during this COVID-19 pandemic. If you are feeling a bit helpless during this uncertain and scary time like I am, consider using your creativity and passion for crafting to make cards for friends, family, or strangers. This beautiful, wonderful hobby brings us all together.
I used the Layered Tulips Stencil with the following Simon Says Stamp Dye Ink color combinations for the rainbow tulip borders along the top and bottom of each card background.
"Thanks" from the Ampersand Words Stamp Set was stamped on Lavender Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was die cut with the coordinating die and adhered on two additional die cut greetings for a bit of dimension.
An additional phrase was stamped on Lawn Fawn Sugarplum Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being die cut with a Nested Banners Die. The strip was adhered below "thanks" with foam adhesive.

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing two one layer watercolored cards featuring components from the Simon Says Stamp April 2020 Card Kit, Follow the Rainbows. For the rainbow and clouds panel I used one of the four custom Suzy's Watercolor Cards included in the kit and simply painted the panel with Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors and embellished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard before adhering the panel to a white top fold card base. For the other card, I created my own one layer panel with the Follow the Rainbows Stamp Set also included in the kit!

One layer cards are a breeze to mail since they are relatively flat! I love finding ways to embellish one layer cards for that added bit of fun! Touches of iridescent glitter with the Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were the perfect touch for these encouragement and thinking of you cards.

Today I'm sharing what I like to call, Storybook Scene Cards. I adore Lawn Fawn and with the vast collection of dies they now offer you can really mix and match products to create the most darling scenes. I am pairing the brand new Portrait Meadow Backdrop and Landscape Meadow Backdrop with previously released dies to create these all die cut scenes! The Simon Says Stamp You've Got This die cut sentiment is the perfect size and sentiment for these happy, encouraging cards!
The Portrait Meadow Backdrop was die cut from smooth white cardstock and the grass was colored with Copic Markers in YG11, YG13, and G09.
The tree log from the Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add On was die cut from Chocolate Bar Cardstock and colored with Copic Markers in E53, E55, E57, and E49.
Flowers were die cut and adhered to the stems and finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in the flower centers.

Today I'm sharing my video tutorial featuring the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Bold Prints backgrounds. The backgrounds this month are absolutely fabulous and make the most amazing cards! The Koi Pond Bold Prints Background and Parasol Pattern Bold Prints Background were stamped on dark Hero Hues cardstocks with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder before being colored with Polychromos Colored Pencils.

The cards were finished with stamped greetings. Rectangles were die cut from vellum using a Simon Says Stamp Basic Rectangles Die. The rectangle frame was die cut from gold mirror cardstock using a Simon Says Stamp A2 Thin Frames Die. A greeting from the Tranquility Stamp Set and the Kittens in Kimonos Stamp Set were stamped on the vellum rectangle with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The vellum was run through a Xyron Sticker Maker and adhered to the backgrounds. The frame was glued in place and the cards were finished with a scattering of sequins or droplets for a touch of embellishment!
These backgrounds were created the same but embellished with different dies and additional images!
