Hello everyone! Now that spring has sprung, I can’t help but create some spring-themed projects! So, today, I’m sharing how I created this spring-themed card featuring the Signs of Spring Digital Stamp Set! As always, I started by uploading the digital stamps into Cricut Design Space to help me design and plan my card. I used the crocus 1 and grass images to make this card. As for the sentiment, it was created in Cricut Design Space. Once I was happy with the sizing of my images and had my card all planned out, I used the Print then Cut feature to print out the images on 100lb Hammermill car ..read more

As the saying goes…you can’t have flowers without the rain! Hello everyone! I hope spring is just popping up where you live! Today I’m sharing this cute spring rain card using the Signs of Spring Digital Stamp Set. This has so many elements so there are plenty of ways to use this set! Let me show you how I made my card. I started by composing my card in the computer. I went through several size changes until I achieved what I wanted. I also used a piece of digital paper behind my design for a gray sky. I kept the coloring of this card to a minimum. There r ..read more

My bullet journal spread this month was inspired by some of the little hints of spring popping up in my garden at the moment: those early flowers and the return of the creepy crawlies! I absolutely love this time of year when nature wakes up and new growth starts to emerge, it’s probably my favourite time of year. Given the weather we have been having of late, I also included a little nod to the famous April showers in my design too! As usual, I scanned my finished page, tidied up the drawing a bit and created this printable version for you to play with too. Download Monday Start Download ..read more

How do you make a cup of coffee better?  By adding a cupcake – of course!  Hello everyone! Today I’ll be sharing this cute coffee break card using the Coffee and Cupcakes digital stamps.  I love the designs in this digital stamp set!  I composed my design in the computer and placed a piece of digital paper from my stash behind the elements of the card design to create the coffee style background. Before coloring the image, I used a rectangle die to trim my panel.  I do this because it gives me a better sense of how the finished product will look. I had a pretty goo ..read more

I am thrilled to share Creative Team member Shruti’s wonderful little mini-album with you today! Created as a family keepsake for her children, this little mini-album will hold photos of family members, notes and other memories and I am sure it will be treasured for many years to come! The accordion album was constructed by cutting two 4.25″ strips of cardstock from a 12×12 sheet, joining them together and folding to create 3″ wide pages with a 0.25″ gusset between each page. The gusset helps add dimension to the album and allows some extra room to add all those fun embellishments and photo ..read more

This month’s calendar printable is a nod to the patron saints of both Wales and Ireland (whose Saint’s Days are both celebrated this month) combined with a look forward to some spring-sunshine filled days that are hopefully on their way very soon! I’ve included some lovely daffodils for St. David and some shamrocks for St. Patrick along with a handful of daisies for a fun, flower filled spring themed spread. I’ll gloss over the fact that I had to do some surgery to this page after a slight error stamping for the day numbers. Thankfully it was nothing that some white gel pen and a bit of black ..read more
