Just a Note with Peonies by Angie Cimbalo

Welcome, it's Angie here today with a "Just a Note" card featuring products from the latest 2025 Peony release.  Here's a close up look at my card:

To create this card I die cut the Gentle Peony Bloom 94872 and the Refined Peony Bloom 94873 from white cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  The rectangle behind them was cut from white woodgrain cardstock with Cherished Scalloped Frames then backed with pink card stock.   Here's another look:

The sentiment was stamped in black from the Hello Butterfly stamp set CL5289, then the flowers were added with glue and pop dots.  The whole rectangle was popped up on foam tape.  

Here's one last look:

Peony Buds and Heartfelt Wishes by Anne Thompson

Today's card incorporates two of the peony buds dies and two of the Cherish Hearts for an all-occasion card.

materials used

• CHERISH HEARTS 94882
• PEONY BUD TRIO 94880
• TENDER PEONY BUD 94881
• GLADIOLA PLAID PP1027
• white top-fold A2 note card
• watercolor paper
• Hero Arts Forever Green and Raspberry Jam inks

to make this card

• cut a piece of Gladiola Plaid paper 4 X 5 1/4 and add it to the front of the top-fold note card
• die cut the two smallest Cherish Hearts from watercolor paper; use a fingertip dauber to add Raspberry Jam ink to the two hearts; add the larger one to the center of the front panel and the smallest one in the lower right corner
• die cut the Peony Bud Trio and the Tender Peony Bud from watercolor paper; use fingertip daubers and the Raspberry Jam and Forever Green inks to color the buds and leaves
• add the Peony Bud Trio leaves to the center of the larger heart; glue on the additional leaves and buds
• add the Tender Peony Bud leaves a little lower, lining up the stems; use a dimensional foam dot to add the bud with its attached small green base
  

I will add a sentiment in the smallest heart once I decide who will receive the card and why.  I've found the circle tabs (birthday and thank you) to be the fastest and easiest way to add the perfect little message.  There are so many ways to combine the various peony dies to create beautiful cards.  

Happy Crafting!

Happy Easter by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.   I’m baaack 😂, and I have a CAS (clean and simple) Easter card featuring fabulous products from the current 2025 Peony release.   

Most of the image pieces were die cut from white; the bunny wasL die cut from light gray cardstock as well.  All were ink blended with distress inks (DI) for shading and dimension  

DI used:

branch - Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn

buds - Brushed Corduroy added at the base

bunny - Lost Shadow, Picked Raspberry for earl/tummy

 

The sentiment was die cut from pink cardstock and Picked Raspberry DI was applied to the bottoms for an ombré look.  Looks like I was a bit heavy handed and looks red…oops 😆  Next, the largest Cherish Heart was die cut from white woodgrain paper twice with the woodgrain running horizontally and stacked them for dimension.  Arranged and adhered tge elements into an A2 size white woodgrain panel with the woodgrain running vertical then mounted it onto a white card base to finish.   

That wraps it up for me this weekend.  Hope you have a wonderful week.

Pink Peony Thank You by Jean Okimoto

Say thanks with the fresh new Delightful Peony Blossom layered over  a delicate collage of Cherish Scalloped Frames.  The bold blossom stands out against the tiny heart borders.  Hi, Jean here with a spring design from our 2025 Peony release.

Cut Delightful Peony Blossom petals from pink cardstock.  Cut the stamens from Black Glossy Paper (cardstock).  Cut a 1" square scrap of pink cardstock to create a base upon which to assemble the blossom. Attach the 6 individual petals to the base, then add the other layers and stamens.

Cut the three smallest Cherish Scalloped Frames from lighter pink cardstock.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded textured gray A2 card - use foam dots for the top 2 layers of the blossom.  Attach a Black Thank You Foil Greeting Tab.  Add Fairy Drops.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

The tiny heart offcuts from the Cherish Scalloped Frames are great for shaker cards and confetti too.  Cut them from our Glitter Pads or Mirror Cardstock for sparkly or shimmery accents.

Thanks for visiting our blog - see you on Friday!

Hidden Heart Blossom by Jean Okimoto

Frame the new Gentle Peony Bloom with 2 of the new Cherish Hearts and create an all-occasion card for your stash of ready-to-go greetings.  Hi, Jean here with an offset hidden-heart design for you today.

 

Cut Gentle Peony Bloom from the violet and yellow-green Rainbow Reflections 6x6's. Follow the floral layering guide on the reverse side of the envelope - or create your own unique blossom.  Assemble the blossom - use narrow foam tape strips along the outer edges of the center-top layers.  Cut the leaves from dark gray cardstock.

Cut the largest Cherish Heart from  Lavender Bloom cardstock.  Cut it with the middle-sized Cherish Heart.  Tuck and attach the left edge of the smaller heart behind the larger heart.  The open space on the right side divides the lavender and reveals the contrasting background.

Cut a 1-5/8" x 4-3/8" strip of ink-blended watercolor paper.  Spray it lightly with Imagine's Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz.  Heat-set the ink.

Attach everything to a top-folded Fresh Aqua A2 card.  Attach turquoise Christmas Fairy Dewdrops.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Hope you like this color combo - and that partially-hidden heart!

Thanks for visiting our blog - see you again on Friday!

Sent With Love by Laura Fulcher

Greetings friends. I have another card to share with you using the new Peony release. Once again, I failed to include a peony. That card will be posted soon!

For today's card, I used the new Crocosmia Stems die. I didn't know anything about crocasmia flowers. I just knew that the die was really pretty and delicate. Of course I had to do a Google search. They are part of the iris family and come in a large variety of colors. I will have to experiment with different color combinations. For this card, I followed the colors used on the die envelope.

To make the card, I cut out my leaves using Leaf Sprout cardstock and then added a bit of G00 and G24 Copic markers for a some shading. For the petals and buds, I cut the pieces out of white cardstock and added hints of Y32 and Y38 Copic markers.

For the background, I used one of the new Cherish Hearts die and cut it out using Golden Wheat cardstock. I thought the yellow would pair nicely with my flowers. The heart die has little dots around the edges for embelishment. I decided to place a yellow rhinestone on top of any of the dots not covered by the flowers:

For a bit more interest, I sponged some Vintage Photo Distress ink around my yellow heart and white cardstock layer. I then layered everything onto a Leaf Sprout notecard and added my sentiment in black ink.

Thanks for visiting today!

Trio of Hearts by Jean Okimoto

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone celebrating today!  Here's a basic design to celebrate a special holiday,  an engagement, wedding or anniversary.  It's easy to create in an array of colors and it's a great way to actually use those papers in the stash.  Hi, Jean here after a bit of snow, and wonky internet.

Tiny registration holes on the corners of the Party Confetti Stencil Set make it easy to position the 4 stencils.  Just mark the holes with a pencil and line the stencils up as you apply each layer of ink.  The stencils are also marked with an A2 card outline for easy aligning.  

Cut a 6" square of pink cardstock and stencil it with 3 of the 4 designs in the Party Confetti  Stencil set - 2 streamers and one of the confetti.  I used a very vintage - but still great - Galaxy Gold Brilliance inkpad.  Dry the ink, then cut a section with the 2-3/4" tall Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  The dies create a stitched outline and solid hearts.

Cut the dark pink and gold-embossed petal print from the Glimmering Gladiola 6x6 set and the bright gold Glitzy Glitter Pad with the same die.

Cut the 3-1/2" x  4-3/4" Wrapped Stitch Rectangle from white cardstock.

Stamp the "love" portion of the birthday love greeting from the Birthday Chic Clear Stamp and Die Set on white cardstock with Rose Bud Memento Luxe.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.

Attach everything to a white A6 card (4-1/2" x 6-1/4") - attach the center heart and greeting with foamtape.  Add 1/4" circles punched from the bright pink Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting our blog...keep warm, be creative and have a great weekend!

Sweet Valentine Treats by Jean Okimoto

Chocolates are an essential part of Valentine's Day - let Memory Box diecuts add some creativity and color to the celebration.  My treat totes are usually quick and easy - these have more details to make them extra-special.  Hi, Jean here with designs  featuring the new Bird Blossoms die set and the Birthday Chic Clear Stamps and Die Set.

Cut Raspberry Sorbet and light Kraft cardstock with the second-largest Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles die.  Score and crease  them at 3-7/8" and 4-1/8".  

Cut the peach/tan/gold Gladiola Plaid 6x6 with the second-largest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Cut the orange/gold Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6 with the second-smallest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Cut the 9 main flower sections of the new Bird Blossoms set from the light coral Blush Collection 6x6.  Stamp the "love" portion of the "birthday love" greeting from the Birthday Chic stamp set on same 6x6 with Tulip Red VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Attach the diecuts to the folded rectangle.  Attach the chocolates with double-stick tape.  Tie the wrappers with gold cord (about 14").  Curl the cord with the side of a bonefolder or the plastic burnishing tool - follow the curve of the cord for best results.

Attach adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet) to pale aqua felt and diecut the main section of the Bird Blossoms bird.  Cut the wing and beak/head section  from a dark turquoise 6x6 in the Lagoon Collection.  Color the beak and eye areas with a dark brown or black marker.  Stamp the greeting from the Birthday Chic set on Cherry Red cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the second-largest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Attach the diecuts and chocolate, tie and curl the cord.  Punch and attach  three 1/4" circles from the red Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.
