Relax, You’ve Earned It 🌿
This handmade card was created using products from Simon Says Stamp’s Moments In Time release, and it’s all about calm vibes and creative texture 🌿. I featured a bold snake plant and used multiple types of embossing paste to add rich dimension to the leaves. Each layer was carefully applied and allowed to dry completely before adding the next — a slow process, but one that was totally worth it for the depth and tactile finish. A soft dotted, double-stamped background and a bold “Relax” sentiment tie everything together in a clean, grounded design that feels just as peaceful as it looks.
A Sweet & Sunny Card with Buzz-Worthy Charm
This handmade birthday card was created using products from Simon Says Stamp’s Moments In Time release — and it’s full of bright color and playful charm! 🐝💛 I paired a party-ready bee with a sweet, layered cake, both colored in sunny shades to match the softly ink-blended background. A circle of shimmer vellum helps those images stand out without losing the warmth of the color underneath. With a cheeky “Happy Birthday, Honey” sentiment and a few sparkly gems, this card is perfect for sending smiles to someone sweet!
The Boldest Crayon
This bright + cheerful card features the May 2025 Clear Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month from @teamspellbinders!

A Little Edge… A Little Softness
Bold blooms with a moody twist! 🌼 This card features the Yana’s Daisies Collection by Yana Smakula for @teamspellbinders, with dramatic ink blending in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, and Black Soot. I paper-pieced the flowers in a black outline for extra depth and layered it all over a soft ink-blended background with splatter details. Finished with black twine and a simple sentiment, it’s bold, modern, and full of heart. 💜🖤

Playful Rainy Day Cards
These rainy-day cards feature the Simon Says Stamp “Rain or Shine” release, and I had so much fun bringing them to life with Copic coloring! The bears and frogs add the perfect touch of charm, paired with fun rain-themed details. One card features masked stamping with a stenciled rain background, while the other keeps it simple with clear raindrop embellishments for added texture. Both designs capture the playful side of spring showers! Check out the full blog post for all the details! ☔🐸✨
