New Toner Card Fronts and Foils from Deco Foil and Therm O Web

Did you know Deco Foil recently released a bunch of new spring Toner Card Fronts and fresh new colors of foil? I had so much fun playing with them along with new dies and a brand new fun fold. 

The new floral Toner Card Fronts are called Fresh Florals and Hoppy Spring and I feature them along with the new pink Love Potion and Royal Carriage foils on this fun fold card. The focal point is a new die from Poppy Stamps called Nordic Cozy Tea Cup. This card folds flat to mail in an A2 envelope and then opens to look like this:

I also created another card with this fun fold and a new Toner Card Front called Birthday Wish:

And here are a couple more cards I created with the new toner card fronts and foils:

If you like super easy ways to add the sparkle of foil to your cards, I urge you to check out the new products here at Therm O Web.

Rooting For You with Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month

Every month I get to play with Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month, and April's is perfect for spring and encouragement. The carrots, radishes and onions can be stitched or not - both ways have great texture. There are 22 dies in this set so it is a great bargain whether you like to sew or not. Details on Spellbinders Dies of the Month clubs can be found here, but if now it is not a good time to join, you can always check the website next month after the 10th and if it was not sold out, the dies are available for purchase on their own. 

I created a bridge z-fold with extra areas to plant in the middle. The background sky was made with Spellbinders Head in the Clouds embossing folder and some blue ink. Here is a view of this card closed and ready to mail:
