Who says cards have to be rectangles? 🌸✨ Today I’m sharing a fun, circular shaped card that’s all about mixing my favorites!

I combined some beautiful Altenew layering florals with a modern Simon Says Stamp sentiment and a classic Spellbinders scalloped circle. My favorite tip for this one? Ink blending over your colored cardstock die-cuts! It’s the easiest way to ditch the "flat" look and add some gorgeous dimension and interest. 🎨💖

Looking for some birthday card inspo? 🦋✨ I’m sharing a new top-folding card today that’s all about soft watercolors and shimmer!

I used a mix of watercoloring and heat embossing (using my own stamp design from rubberstamps.com!) to create this ethereal background. Those layered butterflies are a current favorite from scrapbook.com—I just can't stop using them!

Let me know what you think in the comments. Would you have gone with the teal frame or stuck with white-on-white? 🎨

Celebrate big because you deserve it! 🥳✨

I am absolutely in love with the textures on this card. Between the pierced background and the dimensional floral bouquet, there is so much for the eye to catch! I went with a bold purple-to-pink gradient to give it that ultra-feminine, celebratory vibe.

Is this giving you birthday energy or "new promotion" (congratulation) vibes? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Make a wish! 🖋️✨ I’m sharing a closer look at this top-folding typewriter card today, and it’s all about the texture. I used a "happy accident" technique to get all those tiny bits in the background just right without cutting all the way through the paper.

I’ve mixed and matched supplies from a few of my favorite brands for this one—if you need the deets on anything I used, drop a comment below! 🌸💛
