Suzanne Cannon’s new clear stamp sets at Elizabeth Craft Designs are filled with wonderful quotes, small motifs, and flourishes. Like her dies, they begin with pen and ink – calligraphy that is unique to her hand and eye. She truly has a way with words and that’s why it’s the name of her collection (“A Way With Words”).
Hello everyone, Sanna here today with a set of clean and simple (and fast and easy) cards! I got inspired to create these when I was organizing my stash and stumbled upon some paper clips. A stamp set from Joset Designs and some Els van de Burgt Studio paper and Speech Bubble Edgy Options dies is all I needed. Here is how I created the cards:

September 11. A day that the world will never forget. The sky was a perfect clear blue over Manhattan, the Pentagon, a field in Pennsylvania. Within minutes it all changed.
Each year I spend time reflecting on what was lost: The flight attendant who lived a few blocks from us, the colleagues of a friend who worked in one of the towers, and all of those I never knew but mourned with a heavy heart. On this day I spend time celebrating the heroism of first responders and ordinary citizens who did what they could to save lives.

I am definitely a summer person and I love sun, sand and sea. When I saw the new Joset Designs Ahoy Stamp set, I immediately wanted to create something summery. That is what inspired me to create this tag.
Hello Crafty Friends! Last weekend my hubby and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. Of course, I made a card for him! For the card I wanted to make something manly with cool papers and textures. He received the card and told me how much he really liked the card: the Happy Anniversary die cut, the “rustic metal looking papers” (his words), and the colors. It appears that my hubby is not only a fan of my work but also of ECD supplies!
Hi there, it´s Sanna here today, sharing a set of cards created with the new Lollypop die set.
Again these card ideas started from my previous project, the Lollypop cards. I had a negative piece of white die cut paper on my table, cut with the Lollypop die. I looked at it and I suddenly saw lemons! This is how these cards came together:
