Every year brings fresh techniques, new color stamp collections, and that happy moment when a design comes together perfectly. I spent the past year and a half exploring creative ideas, working on design team projects, and making cards for special occasions. Some of my favorites have yet to make an appearance on the blog, until now. Today, I’m sharing a curated selection of some of my favorite creations from 2024. Whether you missed them the first time around on my instagram or you’re seeing them with fresh eyes today, I hope they spark your own creativity!
