Hey cardmaking friends, Happy Tuesday, hope you are all well. I knocked the dust off my Gel Press yesterday to make some simple backgrounds to use with the @teamspellbinders Layered Wildflowers and Floral Beauties Stamp Sets. I love the "silkscreen" look I got with this simple technique.

Card details are in today's blog post: https://sandimaciver.com/spellbinders-floral-beauties/

I love a good card kit don't you? my @simonsaysstamp April Friendly Flowers card kit finally arrived and I couldn't wait to bust into it. I like to do two things with these kits, first I like to make a couple of cards using just what's in the kit and that's what I'm sharing today...Both of these beautiful SLimline Cards were made in less than 10 minutes with kit content - Ok, full disclosure, I had to add adhesive, LOL. I give you the info including the cutting measurements in today's blog post here: https://sandimaciver.com/simon-says-stamp-friendly-flowers-card-kit/ - link to blog in my bio

The second thing I like to do is create with the pretty stamp set included and I'll have a video for you shortly with that card.

I had another play with the Small and Large dies of the month kit from Spellbinders. These are the April Kits and they coordinate so well together. LOVED sitting and stitching that beautiful image in the small die kit and I know exactly who I'm sending it too. Do you like stitching on your cards?

I was on a roll the other day creating Easter cards with the @simonsaysstamp Bunny Blessings stamp and die set. I love that you could also use this set for baby cards, spring birthdays etc., just by changing out the sentiment.
