A Sweet Welcome with a Retired Favorite 💕

There’s just something extra special about creating baby cards. They hold so much love, hope, and joy — and this one was no exception.

I created this sweet baby girl card using the retired Sale-A-Bration Cradle of Love stamp set, and I just adore how soft and gentle it turned out. Sometimes those retired favorites still steal our hearts, don’t they? 💖

From the delicate coloring on the cradle to the tiny whimsical mobile details, this set makes it so easy to design something precious. I kept the palette light and airy with soft pink tones, subtle shading, and just a touch of sparkle to add that magical glow.

The layered cardstock framing helps the focal image stand out while still keeping the overall look calm and elegant. And those little embellishments? Just enough shimmer to make it feel extra special without overwhelming the sweetness of the design. ✨

This card is the perfect way to welcome a new little one into the world — simple, heartfelt, and made with love.

It’s funny how certain retired stamp sets still inspire us long after they’re gone. They remind us that creativity doesn’t expire — it just evolves. 💕

Do you have a retired favorite that you just can’t part with? 

I’d love to hear which one still has your heart!

Happy crafting, friends

Sketch of the Day – Sweet Squares & Soft Texture

Today’s Sketch of the Day is all about using squares to create depth and dimension. I love how something so simple can create such a strong visual impact just by layering and spacing thoughtfully.

When I recreated the layout, I kept the exact same design structure but softened the overall look with a dreamy pastel palette. I used Lemon Lolly, Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath, and Soft Sea Foam, paired with touches of Basic Black for just the right amount of contrast. That tiny bit of black really grounds the card and helps the soft colors shine even more.

To add character and warmth, I distressed the edges of each square. That little bit of texture gives the card a beautifully worn feel while still keeping it elegant and sweet. It’s the perfect balance — soft, delicate, and just a little vintage-inspired.

This layout makes such a precious baby card. The layered squares add interest without overwhelming the design, and the pastel tones keep everything light and heartfelt.

Sometimes the simplest sketches create the most 

beautiful results. 💕

Happy crafting!

Simple & Sweet with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

This week on YouTube, I shared a simple yet stunning card using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch — and let me tell you, this layout is a keeper!

It’s one of those designs that works for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays — truly any occasion. Just switch up the paper and sentiment, and you have a whole new look every time.

With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I had to use the Made with Love Designer Series Paper one last time. ❤️ It adds the perfect touch of sweetness and charm to this easy layout.

✂️ Simple Supplies:

• Basic White cardstock cut to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

• Another piece of Basic White cardstock cut to 4" x 5-1/4"

• Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

• Designer Series Paper of your choice

Punch out 9 hexagons, arranging them across your card front. Leave one hexagon in Basic White (or a neutral color) for stamping your sentiment — this creates the perfect focal point while keeping the design clean and balanced.

It’s amazing how something so simple can look so polished and layered!

Be sure to watch the full video tutorial for step-by-step instructions. And if you’re new to my page, I’d love for you to follow, subscribe, and leave a comment — your support truly means the world to me. 💕

Happy crafting, friends! ✂️ 

A Classic Valentine – Bold, Layered & Full of Love

Today’s beauty of a card is all about showcasing the timeless combination of Real Red, Basic White, and Basic Black cardstock. These traditional colors truly bring this lovely design front and center, creating a bold and striking Valentine that never goes out of style.

There’s just something about red, white, and black together — it feels classic, heartfelt, and full of emotion. The sentiments “Always and Forever,” “Hugs and Kisses,” and “Love You” make this card perfect for Valentine’s Day, wrapping all those sweet feelings into one meaningful design.

I layered different sized hearts to create the perfect amount of dimension and movement. Building those layers adds depth while keeping the focus right where it belongs — on love. ❤️ The contrast of Basic Black against the softness of white and the richness of Real Red makes each element pop beautifully.

I was especially proud to make this one for someone very special in my life. Handmade cards carry a little extra heart, and this one was created with so much love behind every layer.

Sometimes the traditional colors say it best — bold, simple, and full of forever. 💕✂️

Love Note Inspiration All Week Long 💌

This week/ month is all about Love Notes — sharing inspiration, layering on the sweetness, and creating projects that celebrate connection in the prettiest way.

Today’s project really shows off how versatile the Made With Love Bundle can be. Whether you’re creating a fun, eye-catching card front or designing a charming junk journal topper, this bundle makes it so easy to build beautiful layers on top of layers.

I leaned into a flirty, feminine color palette using Pretty in Pink and Flirty Flamingo, with just a little Basic Black thrown in for contrast and definition. That pop of black helps ground all the softness and gives the project a polished finish.

Layering is truly the star here — die cuts, sentiments, and embellishments stacked thoughtfully to create movement and depth. The sentiment “Sending you hugs and kisses and love” ties everything together and adds that heartfelt touch that makes handmade so special.

What I love most about this design is how easily it can be adapted. Add it to a card base for a sweet love note… or attach it to a journal page for a dimensional topper full of personality. Either way, it’s layered, lovely, and made with heart.

Here’s to a week full of creativity, connection, and spreading love — one handmade project at a time. 💕

XO-
