For this card, I used an adorable, retired image from Impression Obsession. I stamped it onto Kraft cardstock and colored it with pencils for a soft, textured look.
To finish the design, I added a birthday banner as the sentiment.

For this card, I used a beautiful, patterned paper my husband picked up from Michaels and let it take center stage. To highlight the design, I brushed Wink of Stella over the butterflies for a touch of sparkle.
I finished the card with a birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals to add depth. Tucked under the popped-up sentiment is gold thread to add just a bit more sparkle and interest to the card.

Challenges:
I finally used up the bundle of brown embroidery floss that had been hanging on the back of my craft chair, gifted by my MIL from a friend’s stash-clearing spree, and I’m so glad it found its purpose on this card.
For the design, I die cut the panel using a Spellbinders die and stitched it with the brown variegated floss. It’s layered onto coordinating brown cardstock, and I finished it off with a birthday banner popped up on dimensionals.
I think this makes a great masculine card, and I’m genuinely thrilled to have that floss off my chair and onto something meaningful!

As You Like It - Ribbon/Twine and Why - I like both ribbon and twine. With Twine, I can stitch cards like this one and with Ribbon, I can use it for tiny bows.
Challenges:
For this card, I used a beautiful die cut from Honey Bee Stamps featuring the July Flower. I cut all the layers, adding soft sponging to the white elements and green shading to the leaves for depth and dimension.
I layered the finished flower over coordinating designer paper, then added a birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals. A few scattered candy dots complete the design with a playful touch.

For this card, I used a beautiful die cut set from Honey Bee Stamps. I cut the pieces from white cardstock and then added layers of color.
Once the flowers were colored, I assembled and layered them together, tucking a few leaves underneath for extra dimension.
To finish the design, I added a few candy dots and popped up the birthday sentiment on dimensionals for a cheerful touch.

Challenges:
I had a stack of square scraps on my desk and decided to challenge myself to use what was already in front of me. These three pieces caught my eye—they coordinated beautifully, so I layered them with a touch of gold matting for a bit of elegance. I arranged the layout over a soft green designer paper that echoed the tones in the scraps.
To finish the card, I added a “Thinking of You” sentiment, popped up on dimensionals for a little lift, and tucked in a few green gems for just the right amount of sparkle.
