Springtime Cards

Hello friends, Esther here sharing some spring themed cards I created with the NEW stamp sets for March! This first one features the "Sweet Little Lamb" set. I couldn't resist adding some hearts from the set to my tree, and those tiny little flowers to the vines along my fence.

Supplies and Tools:

• Sweet Little Lamb (Sweet n Sassy Stamps)
• Canson Mixed Media Paper
• Watercolor Brush Pens (Benicci)  
• Christmas Quilt Embossing Folder (Couture Creations)
• Dotted Ovals Dies (Sizzix)
• Grass, Tree, Vine Dies (Cottage Cutz)
• Versamark Watermark Ink 
• Black Embossing Powder (Ranger)
• These colors of Distress Oxide (Ranger)
• Salty Ocean
• Twisted Citron
• Wilted Violet

My second card uses "Blessing in Disguise" (my new favorite stamp set!), Psalm 23 Background, and Grace So Amazing.

For this card I stamped and embossed four coneflowers. After coloring them, I fussy cut them, and trimmed the leaves off.  I cut between the petals and glued one on top of the other to form two 3D flower heads. I then punched a bunch of tiny suns, scrunched them up, and hot glued them to my flowers (If you like to see a photo of the process you're welcome to visit this post on my personal blog.)

cacti greetings

Good morning! Today I am sharing two cards using some new Sweet ‘n Sassy stamp sets from the May Release. Here I used Refresh My Soul and the May Stamp of the Month, Scripty Thoughts (free with your $75 order).

 

On my first card, I punched a 2" circle in the white layer. Then I used 3 small images stamped repeatedly to frame the opening. The cactus was added and the whole layer was popped up.

 

I stamped the large cactus repeatedly on the background of my second card. Then I punched three circles to add the cute cacti. Both cards have a few dots of Stickles to add a touch of sparkle. These images are versatile for many occasions.

 

Have a great day!

Get Well Chicken

Hello! It's Monika here today, with a get well card.

I have a friend who loves chickens. She recently had to have a hand operation, so I wanted to make a card for her with the sweet chicken from Get Well Critters clear stamp set. I knew she'd get a kick out of it...

 

 

While I did not use the coordinating die set (Get Well Critters Die set), I used some of my favorite dies to make the scene. It might seem familiar, since I used these dies before... remember?

To build the fun scene, I used Hillside Edges, Bare Tree, Happy Happy, and Fence & Grass (currently unavailable) Die sets.

For the greeting, I used Get Well Innies clear stamp set.

 

Thank for stopping by,

Monika

Wishing you...

Hello! It's Monika here today, giving you a SWEET peek of Winnie's Garden clear stamp that will be coming out soon. It's going to have 20+ fabulous images and greetings, perfect for Spring...

 

 

I wanted to make something fast, but add an easy technique... hence the heat embossing. The raised surface always gives an extra touch to any cards. The main images were stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder... then they were water colored, along with the background.

 

I also used Get Well Innies clear stamp set.

 

 

Thank for stopping by,

Monika
