Highland Spring

Bringing back a retired stamp set here with "Circle Of Spring". Such a great stamp - as you can color it however you'd like.

The sentiments that go with it are perfect for Easter, Thank Yous, and Birthdays.

Now, I didn't have a Granny Apple Green ribbon, so I used a Lemon-Lime Twist ribbon here.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Spring Vases

Hello Spring! And Happy Easter!

Since I needed to create several Easter cards... I decided to make each a little different, so my family could receive a slightly different one from the others. I chose to utilize the Sale-A-Bration Organza Ribbon as my color choices -- Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Lemon-Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Grapefruit Grove.

I used the vase from the 'Varied Vases' stamp set, the flowers and leaves from the 'Vibrant Vases' stamp set, and the sentiment from the 'Circle of Spring' stamp set. The stems for the flowers were hand-drawn with the Lemon-Lime Twist Stampin' Write marker.

Thanks for dropping by!

Easter Spring

Happy Easter! 

I had a lovely time creating all my Easter cards this year.  I cannot take credit for the design... I did see someone else's card on Pinterest with just the middle framelit die-cut from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. Cute huh?  The cards are all 4.25x4.25.

I colored the flowers on each card to match the card base, but kept the 5 pointed petals white and made them 'pop' a bit using Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Thanks for stopping by!

Best of Spring

I saw a similar card (in blue) that used white embossing on a light blue cardstock and watercoloring in dark blue.  I wanted to try to create one using pink.

I stamped the image with Versamark and used White Embossing powder on Pink Pirouette cardstock.

I then used my Aqua Painter to watercolor the leaves (Old Olive) and flower (Melon Mambo).

I got the chance to use my Curvy Corner Trio Punch for the first time -- makes for a more feminine card.

Thanks for looking!

Penguin PunchArt

I totally LOVE this little guy! Isn't he so cute!  I cannot take credit for this cute design though.  I saw Deborah Wright's penguin card on Pinterest and just had to try and create one for myself with the supplies I had.

Here is Deborah's card:

Thanks Deborah for your inspiration!

I used the Ovals Collection Framelits for the body, and feet; the heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch for the beak; the Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die for the white part of the eyes; the Two-Step Oval punch for the black part of eyes, as well as the white dots for the eyes; and the Flower Fair Framelits for the hair plume.

I used the Northern Flurry TIEF on both the background and the tummy.

Although you may not be able to see it in my photo... I did use Dazzling Details on the edge of the white strip to resemble snow.

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Circle of Spring

Ink - Memento

Paper - Soft Sky, Whisper White, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight

Accessories - Big Shot, Northern Flurry TIEF, Ovals Framelits, Flower Fair, Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die, Two-Step Owl Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch, dimensionals, Dazzling Details
