{Paper Goods Showcase} Springing into Creativity with Stephanie Severin

Let's be honest: we've all had those days where the "creative itch" is real, but the clock is ticking. You want to send a handmade hug, but you don't necessarily have three hours to hand-paint a watercolor masterpiece.

That is exactly why our Quick Card Fronts exist, and today, I'm thrilled to have the incredibly talented Stephanie Severin guest designing on the blog to show us how it's done. Stephanie took our Quick Card Fronts #3 – Spring Florals and turned them into two distinct, beautiful cards.

Card #1: Faith & Florals

In her first card, Stephanie showcases how beautifully our card fronts play with sentiment stamps. She used the vibrant, warm-toned flowers from the Spring Florals #3 set as her base.

• The Design: By layering a smaller, framed floral element over the main card front, she added incredible depth.

• The Finishing Touch: She paired this with a powerful sentiment from the Faith Expressions stamp set.

• Why it works: The "I can do all things through Christ..." sentiment (Philippians 4:13) perfectly complements the uplifting, sun-drenched colors of the florals. It’s a soulful, encouraging card that looks like it took hours but came together in a snap!

Card #2: Be Bold, Be Fabulous

Stephanie’s second card proves that "Spring Florals" doesn't always have to mean "Pastels." Using the deeper magentas and moody purples from the same Quick Card Fronts #3 set, she went for a bold, modern look.

• The Die-Cut Magic: Stephanie combined the card front with two of our favorite CUTplorations thin metal word dies: the "BE" (from the You Word die set) and the Fabulous word die.

• The Vibe: The contrast between the rich floral background and the crisp die-cut words makes this card pop right off the envelope. It’s the ultimate "just because" card for the fabulous person in your life.
