"What a stunning card! I would have never thought of placing the buttons behind the negative space of the butterflies. They give them an effervescent, high-spirited effect as if they could lift off the page. I'm not sure if I'd sew them on or glue them on, although the thread does seem to tie the card stock together with the buttons themselves. I love the way the wings of the butterflies are echoed in the curves of the white belly band. The Calico Shine Mister Huey's was the perfect finishing touch!"

"This magnolia tree branch is magnificent! I have a dwarf magnolia in my front yard. This soooooo life like! I love the soft pink color and that it seems to float in mid air unattached to anything at all! After reading the directions I think it's probably correctly labeled "Intermediate" although 30 hours of work in one weekend would be a long weekend for me! I love that something so beautiful can be made for so little...a mere $6.00 even though to be fair you must factor in the amount per hour. Time is a precious commodity these days indeed!"

"This Majestic Scalloped Lace Flower Card is quite charming! I love the color scheme and the echo of the flower petals in the scalloped edge opening. The tiny green/pink print along with the rick rack and bow lends an air of vintage to this card. The pearls are the perfect finishing embellishment! This card could be given for any number of occasions!!!"

"I have to admit that I almost passed this one by due to the color scheme. I'm very, very picky when it comes to colors in my paper crafting. But I stopped and looked again. I decided that I like what I see with the special fold and the mixed media medium that I'm going to give it a try with my own choice of colors. After all, isn't that what handicrafts are all about...being able to tailor them to our preference or to the preferences of those we're gifting. So thankful for the idea given to us by this artisan!"

"Ha Ha terriehayes 233640 3 that's a good one! It is indeed a sweet card. I love the way it's a triple easel! I don't believe I've ever seen one before. Each piece fits sooooo well too. I think I've got a bird that will work and I think I can find the rest of the pieces as well. Thank you so much for sharing this "tweet" card design with us!"

The Peony Bouquet Stamp Set is great for layering for a dazzling floral bouquet on your wedding invitations, nametags, and more. Based on the exotic beauty only found in nature, this stamp set was inspired by an exquisite bouquet of peonies painted by a Japanese artist.

This set includes two 4-layered peonies and two 3-layered leaves along with 2-layer berries and a branch of small leaves. The shading in the fine lines of these stamps give them amazing dimension that will add a lot of depth and interest to your paper crafts.The leaves in particular have a breath-taking amount of detail in the design.

With modern stamps and die cuts, it's all about the layers. If you think about a real garden, it's a little bit of a beautiful mess. Flowers and leaves tangle together for nature's canvas of soft shapes of petals contrasted with the sharp points of stems.

When you're making floral paper crafts, stamps come together for layers as gorgeous as a real bouquet. The great thing about a floral theme like this one is it will never go out of style. As other trends come and go, there's nothing more beautiful than what nature can create.

Whether you're scrapbooking, making handmade cards, or layering to decorate your planner, these stamps from Altenew will add great texture and variety to your designs.

The stamps come in layers, which gives you some options to get creative if you'd rather stamp without the outlines. You can also stamp just the outlines and do designs inside them.

This stamp set is a gorgeous addition to your floral stamps collection! The floral theme is great for Mother's Day crafts, wedding announcements, greeting cards, and more.
