  • Engraved-flowers stamp set (sentiment)

I'm on the roll with a second card for today! Keeping myself busy in an attempt to fight the quietness in the house . The two weeks with our oldest daughter here was so wonderful.

 I used :


  • Turquoise card stock
  • Circle die
  • Damask stencil from Celebr8
  • Altenew ink
  • Sentiment from the Silhouette store #50178
  • Rhinestones
  • Foam tape for dimension

Make a wish... it's your birthday!

Hi there!

I don't own a variety of stamps suitable for making cards for children. I prefer spending my card making funds on pretty flower stamps 😊. Add to this the fact that cute cards doesn't come easy and naturally to me, it just makes sense to rely on digital stamps and my Silhouette cameo to help me out when I want to make these cards!

Here's an example :








I used :


  • Free digital stamp from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine ( sorry I don't have the direct link anymore)
  • Altenew ink and stencil
  • Zig markers
  • Foam tape for dimension
  • My own digi sentiment (shared below)
  • Laser printer & Silhouette cameo
  • Watercolor paper from Bôzart (for the little elephant and dragonfly) 
  • Yellow card base
