Another Fun Card Box

April 22, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing another box of cards that I put together for a gift. I love making these and being able to use the cards that I have on hand.

Card Gift Box

Here is a reel showing the box full of cards.

One thing that was fun to use today was one of my new Crafted by C9 kits. I used the Birds and Blossoms Garland kit. I took one of the blooms and popped it on the belly band. It was so quick and easy that I might just save all the birds and blooms to use on cards and gifts instead of making a garland out of it.

Here are the cards that I included in my box.
This first card features the Floral Birdscape die by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Floral Birdscape, Wild Rose

This card uses the Tangled Tulips Detail die by The Greetery.

Pinkfresh Studio-Floral Daydream

April 21, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m sharing another card using some of the new April release with Pinkfresh Studio.

Pinkfresh Studio-Floral Daydream

To begin I used the Floral Daydream press plate with the Betterpress system & Platinum ink. Then I blended color using the Floral Daydream stencil. I die cut the blended blooms using the Floral Daydream dies. I created a panel out of ivory cardstock and used a circle die to create a window and an older Blanket Stitched Rectangle die for the border. For the sentiment I used the Celebrate in Blooms stamp set.

My Monthly Hero April Kit-Fresh Flowers Die Set, Hello Beautiful Stamp & Cut

My first card is the card for the Instagram hop featuring the Fresh Flowers Die Set along with the Hello Beautiful Stamp & Cut for the sentiment. I used a mixture of the cardstocks that come in the kit along with some Concord & 9th colors. I used one of the skinny long stem dies to create the stripes on the vase. I also added some clear enamel dots for embellishment.
