I couldn't wait to dive into the coffee cup print, so I used that as my main background panel, cut to 4" x 5.25".
The Focal Point:
I used the EZ Wonder #1 Die on the EZ Guide page and again on some black cardstock.
To add a little interest to the black square, I stamped it with a script background stamp using white pigment ink.
I then layered the coffee cup circle right in the center for a clean, graphic look.
The Finishing Touches: I tucked a small sentiment into the corner and added a few cardstock coffee beans. To give them a realistic "roasted" shine and some fun texture, I coated them with glossy accents.
If you love coffee as much as I do, you’ll definitely want to check out Linh’s other coffee-themed designs, like the EZ Postage Printable: Coffee. And keep your eyes peeled—there is another super fun coffee-themed EZ Postage Printable coming later this month!

Hey, crafty friends! Spring has officially sprung in my neck of the woods. I’ve been soaking up the blossoms on the trees and was so excited to get back on the tennis courts—until I took a bit of a tumble. I sprained my ankle pretty badly on day two, so I’ve been "holed up" in my craft studio resting. The silver lining? Plenty of time to create!
I pulled out the gorgeous Chubees Cardmaking Kit for this one. I fell in love with the honeycomb paper and decided to use it for the entire postage grid. To bring it to life, I fussy-cut sunflowers and a bee from the EZ Guide page to accent the patterns.
Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? While digging through my stamps, I rediscovered an older Bee Grateful (retired) set from Not 2 Shabby. I had a hunch the bee image and sentiment lines would fit the Ultimate Sentiments die cuts—and it was a match made in heaven! The image also fit the longest panel on my postage grid perfectly, like it was meant to be.
The Finishing Touches
Dimension: I added another bee stamp to a honeycomb paper circle, colored it with Copics, and topped it with Glossy Accents and glitter.
Inking: Each panel is inked with Warm Honey for a soft, sunny glow.
Layout: Everything is mounted on a dark brown postage grid (cut with the EZ Wonder #3 Die) and finished with a bright yellow mat and enamel dots.

The Postage Grid: Cut using the EZ Wonder Die #3 from one of the pages in the collection.
The Layers: I matted the vintage couple and the heart and roses images on black EZ Wonder #3 Add-ons die cuts and added the fussy-cut heart and bottle as one of my vignettes.
The Sentiment: A little "crafty surgery" went into this! I snipped my sentiment from the Gnome Love Card Kit in half and created custom-width black banners by double-die-cutting them with the EZ Wonder #1 Add-ons.
The Glow-Up: A white gel pen for detail and Stardust Stickles for a hint of magic.

Using the sweet little Gnome Love Card Kit along with my EZ Wonder Die #1 and its add-ons, I was able to whip up four complete cards in just one crafty session!
This kit is designed for efficiency and cuteness. It includes:
An EZ guide laid out for perfect cutting with the EZ Wonder Die #1.
6 individual gnome images, plus 2 on the EZ Guide.
2 half sheets of patterned prints.
2 full sheets of patterned prints.
2 full sheets of solid colors.
1 sheet of sentiments (designed to work perfectly with the Ultimate Sentiments Die and other EZ add-ons).
The Image: I cut the gnome image using the dies from the Ultimate Snowglobe Shaker Die.
The Sentiment: I used the Ultimate Sentiments Die for the cut and then inked it with Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink to make it pop.
The Details: I matted the sentiment with a frame from the same set and added die-cut hearts and two banner ends from the EZ Wonder Die #1.
The Sparkle: To finish, I added some rhinestone hearts and a tiny bit of Stickles to the gnome for that perfect touch of shimmer.
For my second card, I focused on this sweet little gnome couple. I framed them using the EZ Wonder Die #1 and its add-ons to create a clean, layered look.
The Layout: I added a panel at the bottom featuring a coordinating heart print to ground the image.
The Sentiment: I used the kit's sentiment, cut and matted with the Ultimate Sentiments Die.
The Finish: You know I love my sparkle! I added just a hint of Stickles to give the couple a little extra magic.
The third card makes great use of the pieces cut from the EZ Guide. That plaid print is definitely a favorite of mine!
Edging for Contrast: To create a clear distinction between the light blue heart print and the white card base, I inked the edges with Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink.
Handmade Details: I hand-cut a heart from one of the patterned prints and coated it with Glossy Accents and Rock Candy glitter for a thick, sugary shine.
Embellishments: I finished the look with more Stickles and a few Sparkle Enamel Dots for extra texture.
The final card used up the rest of my EZ Guide cuts—nothing goes to waste!
Background Interest: I ran some white cardstock through my die machine with a heart embossing folder to give the backdrop plenty of texture.
Angles & Shapes: I tilted the plaid square on an angle for a more dynamic feel, trimming off the excess. I then layered my fussy-cut gnome over a simple scalloped edge framed circle.
The Final Touches: I added banner ends to the corners and used the punny "Gnome one compares to you" sentiment. For the sparkle factor, I applied White Liquid Pearls to the scalloped circles and, of course, a bit more Stickles on the gnome.
Which of these four layouts is your favorite? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!ome.
