Happy Spring Card

I created this card for a card swap that I participated in a couple of months ago, but still wanted to post it.  Even though the sentiment says, "Happy Spring", an Easter sentiment can easily be added inside the card to make it an Easter card.

To make my card, I used Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends Bundle, Beautiful Bokeh DSP, Bloom Impressions DSP & Friends of the Ocean DSP.  Some of these products were from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and no longer available.

For my card base, I used Daffodil Delight with layers of Calypso Coral and DSP.

The beautiful intricate shape was die cut from Storybook Friends Dies.  The image stamped in the oval is from Storybook Friends Stamp Set.  A little sky color was added above the  house with a Blending Brush and Boho Blue ink.

The cute little bunny was stamped with Gray Granite ink and colored with Early Espresso, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencils.  To blend the colors on the bunny, I used a Blender Pen.  The bunny was then die cut and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Calypso Coral ink, die cut and also adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The bow at the top of the oval is Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon and the embellishments are Iridescent Faceted Gems.


Inside my card is Basic White with a strip of DSP along the right and a tiny bunny stamped with Gray Granite ink.



Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

Floral Friend Card

This card was created for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #667.



For my "Friend" card, I used Stampin' Up! Elements of Text & Storybook Friends Stamp Sets, Flowers of Beauty & Delightful Wishes Dies & Friends of the Ocean DSP.

Berry Burst was used as my card base with layers of Friends of the Ocean DSP.

Using the Elements of Text Stamp Set, the images were stamped onto the DSP using Berry Burst and Calypso Coral inks.

A coordinating DSP strip was adhered along the bottom with Gold Twisted Thread wrapped around the layers twice and tied in a bow.

The sentiment was stamped with Berry Burst ink and die cut using Delightful Wishes Dies.  The sentiment was adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

The leafy branches were die cut using Berry Burst and die cut again using Friends of the Ocean DSP.  They were layered just slightly off to create more dimension.

The tiny flowers were die cut using DSP as well and adhered on the branches with Mini Glue Dots.  Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels were adhered in the center of each flower.

Inside my card is Basic White.  The images were stamped using Berry Burst and Calypso Coral inks along each side.

Pretty in Pink Hello

My card was created for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #665.



For my "Hello" card, I used Stampin' Up! Poised Peony Stamp Set, Nested Essentials Dies & Unbounded Beauty DSP.

Summer Splash was used for my card base with a layer of Basic White and Unbounded Beauty DSP.

Tear & Tape was placed behind the Basic White/DSP, on the left side, top & bottom.  Two rows of Linen Thread with a center strand of White Diagonal Trim went along the left of the DSP and wrapped around the layers to adhere on the Tear & Tape.  Another piece of Tear & Tape was placed over the layers to keep them in place.  An additional small piece of White Trim was cut and wrapped around all three and tied in a knot.

The shape behind the flower was die cut from DSP using Nested Essentials Dies and adhered on the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The flower was stamped with Memento ink and colored with Pretty in Pink & Summer Splash Stampin' Blends Markers.  The image was fussy cut and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals behind the flowers and leaves and Multipurpose Liquid Glue behind the stem.

The sentiment was stamped with Pretty in Pink ink, trimmed and flagged on each end.  A scrap of Summer Splash was adhered behind the sentiment and adhered on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems surround the flowers.


Inside my card is DSP layered with Basic White.  The smaller flower image was stamped with Memento ink and colored with the same Stampin' Blends Markers listed above.

DSP was also adhered on the envelope flap and trimmed.
