Hey friends—happy Thursday! Today I have three adorable projects to share with you featuring the Charming Duck Pond Bundle and the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper—these are on the Last Chance list, so if they're on your Wishlist, now's the time to grab them! I also used the *Stylish Shapes Dies and **Nested Essentials Dies to die-cut the circles and banners for these projects.
If you've never joined me for Creative Thursday, I go live every Thursday at 2 PM Central on my Stamped in Ink Facebook page and YouTube Channel—I'd love to have you join in sometime!
And, if you missed the live, no worries—you can watch the replay HERE!
For the first card, I created tons of texture and depth just by layering cardstock and designer paper—it’s such an easy way to add interest! I scattered a few of the die-cut lily flowers from the bundle across the stacked circles, then added a pop of contrast with cattails cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock. This card came together so simply, but the finished look is stunning—clean, fresh, and full of charm!

For the next card, I had so much fun bringing this adorable little duck to life with Stampin’ Blends! I used Gray Granite for a soft, sweet base, added a pop of Granny Apple Green, a splash of Peach Pie, and just a hint of Pretty in Pink for those perfect finishing touches. The sentiment really stands out in bold Pretty Peacock ink—such a great contrast against the softer colors!

The final card was a super simple fun fold— but it really packs a punch! with just a few layers of cardstock and designer paper, a bold sentiment, and a sprinkle of embellishments, we turned a basic layout into a total wow moment. It's one of those cards that looks impressive but comes together in no time!
