It’s time for a poetic party and you’re invited! This week join Heather Telford as she explores the range of possibilities available with our newest collection, Poetic.

By giving our Slapstick/Cling stamp, 40-546 Dancing Daisies, watercolor style and by stamping it multiple times, Heather has given her card a playful look.

We just can’t help but smile when we look at her collection of bright yellow blooms!

For a fun touch, Heather used our Creative Die, 51-346 Thank You Squares, to add her sentiment. She simply placed the die right on top of her stamped panel and ran it through her die cutting machine.

While the beginning of this week has been filled with clean and simple inspiration from Cathy, today’s card is intricate, interactive, AND impressive!

For the outside of her card, Cathy has curved our Creative Die, 51-322 Vine Borders, around a focal point panel stamped with the blooms from our Transparent set, 30-421 Flower Medley.
