Daria here. To continue my thought on finding inspiration from previous projects, I wanted to share one more card. It uses the same supplies: Grateful Heart stamp set with coordinating dies, patterned paper, gold embossing powder and a few gold sequins.
The only thing I've added is die-cut letters for the sentiment.
I think, this card has the same feel as a previous one. At the same time, it is different: design, scheme, colours. It is more monochromatic with just a touch of color behind the letters.
Then, I've added die-cut letters for the sentiment in gold glitter paper along with a little pink behind. They were made using Classic Block Alpha by Ellen Hutson. But you may use any letters you have on hand.
Gold sequins add that extra shine and movement to the card.
Can you tell me, which of the three cards made as an inspiration from one another you liked the most? Or may be you also have a similar creative process?
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time,
Daria here. It is been a while. At my previous post, I've shared with you this card.
It was a super simple and fast to make project. While writing about this card, I also got an idea of another card, using photos of the project as an inspiration. To say the truth, it happens with me a lot. I start to make something and wile making a card I've often got a completely different idea in the process or afterwards. Does it happen with you too?
So today, I am again going to share a card with Grateful Heart stamp set. I started with heat embossing beautiful flower cluster from Grateful Heart stamp set in Gold embossing powder. Die cut it and foam mounted over a panel I made from coloured cardstock. I think pink and grey are just made for each other and look so good together.
Daria here. Today, I am sharing a super simple and fast to make project. Again, I am working with Grateful Heart stamp set. Love when image speaks for itself and already is a gorgeous focal point. So, I've decided to go with the image, gold embossing and simple, almost minimal design.
I started with heat embossing beautiful flower cluster from Grateful Heart stamp set in Gold embossing powder. Die cut it and foam mounted over a grey cardstock base. Sentiment is from the same stamp set, and also heat embossed in gold. I finished it up with a few sequins in gold.
With this design, it is super easy to mass produce Thank You cards. Moreover, it will work with any color scheme. I made a few photos to show how good this image would look with different colours of background.
You may even choose to use pattern or embossed paper.
While thinking about this post, I also made another card, using photos of the project as an inspiration. I will share it next time. Meanwhile, I will be happy to see what you create. If you get inspired, be sure to tag us in social media.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time, xoxo,
Daria here. For my today's post, I've created a diamond pattern using Geometric die set and little flowers and leaves from Grateful Heart stamp. And I really like the way it turned out.
I arranged these geometric shapes over my card base and then worked on each flower cluster individually. I adhere every cluster using both glue dots and foam squares.
When all of my individual pieces were done, I adhered them with foam tape to the card base.
As I had a lot of extra flower let, I've decided to do second card. For my second card, I went with a design I tried earlier, but with a little twist. I leave the link here, so you may check it out. I arranged flowers, added leaves, and adhered everything with foam tape. I left little borders on the sides to mimic the frame.
Hi there crafty friends, it's Cheiron here and today I have a card for you using the Grateful Heart stamps and dies. It's a quick and easy card, with some quick Copic coloring on the flowers and a Distress Ink panel as the background.
I blended Tea Dye Distress Ink onto a panel of Distress Watercolor cardstock, and also splattered some Tea Dye Ink mixed with water onto the panel. Once it was dry, I stamped the sentiment.
I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Neenah cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers, then adhered them to the panel with foam tape. Super quick and easy and reminded myself that coloring and cutting a ton of these flowers would be great to have on hand for future cards!
Daria here. This morning, I had quite an experiment. I went life over instagram to assemble this card. It was my first experience in life streaming, so I was quite nervous. But, I wanted to share with you the process, so you may find it as an IGTV video. Thanks so much for everyone who could join and support me. For my card, I am using Grateful Heart stamp and Skinny Strips die set.
I arranged the stripes over a card base and glue some of them with glue tape and some with foam tape. This gives different levels of dimensions.
I stamped the flower cluster from Grateful Heart stamp in black and glue its parts over my background. The sentiment is from Butterfly Beauties stamp set, stamped over one of the banners i made earlier. As a finishing touch, I have added a few sequins in Crystal Clear.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time, xoxo,

I have been spending quite a bit of my card making time trying to create encouraging cards for those wonderful people out there working still keeping our world turning. Consequently, I've been all about making multiples.
My amazing teammate Daris recently put up this beautiful card using the negative of our Butterfly Beauties Die and it had me all kinds of inspired! I decided to take it one step further and use both the positive and negatives from my die cuts to create four cards.
This card is the CASE of Daria's which started it all. I used the largest die from our Geometric set and turned it on it's side. Once I die cut it out I used it as a frame for the lovely Grateful Heart Stamps.
I stamped several of the flowers on white cardstock to create my focal point. Try using a pencil to lightly trace the frame shape on your background to make sure all the pieces get filled it completely and you don't have any empty stamping spots.
I used the positive piece to create an accent style focal point. I stamped the flowers all over the entire piece filling up the space. Once that was done I went back in with a dark gray and colored in all the spaces in between. This gives the piece more of a presence on the card. I used the die to create a frame on both cards by tracing around it with a black pen. The "frame" help finishes the card off.
I love how both cards turned out. They are the same but different. Which one do you prefer?
For my next card I used the largest die from our Circular set to die cut through the bottom ride of the card. I cut another circle in the next size down for my sentiment. I used that frame trick again but this time I added in some glitter paper to change the design up and of course add some sparkle!
The last card can be done one of two ways. I actually used my positive as a mask to stamp my flowers around the circular shape but you could actually stamp them as usual and just pop your stamp up over top, no masking required. I opted for a black circle to make the focal point a bit more bold but any complimentary color would look great!
The purple one gets it's extra flair from the soft blue halo around it but I thin I'm a bit partial to the pink because of that glitter paper :)
I think each one will be really happy in their new home showering a healthcare worker, grocery store employee, delivery truck driver with love. So many essential workers out there!
