Fancy Lattice Backdrop

Mimi’s Lucky Bamboo Plant!


Join us for Lots of Heart Week starting on Monday January 13! We will share heart and love themed inspiration all week from all of our amazing designers! There will also be a daily giveaway for a random commenter on each blog post all week! See you then!


Mimi is sending good luck vibes for the new year with this super cute and clever card design!


Mimi cut the Fancy Lattice Backdrop from patterned paper before layering it on a white card base. Then she die-cut a Chili Pepper cardstock panel with a Large Stitched Rectangle, trimming it to fit on the bottom of the card.


Next, she stamped and colored pandas and lots of bamboo from I Heart Pandas and I Heart Pandas Add-On. She also cut out the Build-A-Cauldron to use as the planter, and she used the pile of eggs from Carrot ’bout You as stones in the planter. Just so clever!


Her greeting is so brilliant too! I love how she spelled out “luck” using the small bamboo from I Heart Pandas.

Oh my, this is so cute and clever, Mimi! Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Catherine’s Stunning Lunar New Year Card

Catherine created a gorgeous card to celebrate Lunar New Year! Her lovely pink design features a trio of fans with some adorable pandas!


To make this special design, Catherine started with a Fancy Lattice Backdrop and Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame layered over a pretty pink panel of Strawberry Frosting paper. Next, she cut out the frame from Secret Garden Window, stenciling bamboo for the background.

And then she created the clever fans using Stitched Rainbow and coordinating dies from My Rainbow! Then she cut the Zesty Lemon citrus slice from gold sparkle cardstock to complete the fans.


She stamped and colored the pandas from both I Heart Pandas and I Heart Pandas Add-On to arrange on the design. Then she added some pretty flowers from Spring Flowers Backdrop. Finally, she white embossed a Winter Wavy Sayings sentiment on a Simple Wavy Banner.


Thank you so much for this beautiful card inspiration, Catherine! I love the fans!

Mimi’s Ta-Da! Diorama! Celebrating the Year of the Dragon

Mimi created a totally brilliant Ta-Da! Diorama! card to celebrate the Lunar New Year which starts tomorrow! It’s the Year of the Dragon and Mimi hid a super cute dragon behind the Fancy Lattice Backdrop!


Mimi filled her creative design with many symbols of good luck for the new year. Gold coins, firecrackers and a plate of oranges decorate the card front with pretty flowers. Mimi loves to shop her stash to find clever ways to use what she has. Check out the list below for the sets she used for this card.

She cut the front panel of the Ta-Da! Diorama! with a Circle Stackable, then she used the Embroidery Hoop cut from Metallic Gold cardstock as a frame.


Mimi cut the Ta-Da! Diorama! and the Fancy Lattice Backdrop from Textured Canvas cardstock from the pink pack. The lattice looks so pretty framing the scene that is revealed when the diorama is opened!


Inside, Mimi featured the dragon from Dream Big with more coins and a bright red bag! She used Smitty’s ABCs to stamp the year, then she used a sentiment from Let’s Bokeh to wish a Happy New Year!

Here are the sets that Mimi used to make all the decorations:
Gold coins: circles from Bubbles of Joy and Let’s Bokeh, middle square is from Plan on It
Plate of oranges: large lily from Toadally Awesome, balloons from Yappy Birthday, leaves from Toucan Do It
Firecrackers: crayon from Color My World, rounded square is the pat of butter from Let’s Toast and the wick is from Mice on Ice
Flowers: Stinkin’ Cute, More Magic Messages
Bag: Ho-Ho-Holidays


I love this brilliant card, Mimi! Thank you so much for inspiring us today!
