Simply Sunday … Spring Cards

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’d like to share a touch of “spring” with you. I have two cards that I created using the Sheer Perfection Vellum… I’m so sad this will be gone in a couple of days! I teamed up the Vellum with the “Crazy About You” stamp set and the coordinating “Flower Medallion Punch” on both cards.

My first card fits well with my “Simply Sunday’s” theme ….

Simple flowers with a touch of Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie from the Brights Collection of Markers. The vellum is placed over our Whisper White with a Basic Gray mat … popped up on a Daffodil Delight card base. Add a simple ribbon and your card is complete.

Inside I added a bit more of the vellum and created a greeting from the “Crazy about You” stamp set. The stamp set is great for creating your own sayings because it has so much to choose from.

My second card has a few more steps but still easy to recreate. I again began with the vellum and colored it in with an Old Olive marker … also from the Brights Collection. Because it takes a bit to dry, I dipped it in clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. This gave it some added texture and really made the green pop!

The vellum was mounted on Old Olive and then matted on the Basic Gray, and secured to the Old Olive card base. I used the Oval Collection Framelits for the greeting and topped off the flower with a rhinestone.

I finished off the inside with a couple of left over strips of cardstock and stamped the flower in the corner.  There are more great patterns in the vellum, and if you need to put in an order, do it before the Sale-a-bration period ends on Tuesday … don’t miss out.

As for my Stampin’ Tip … I wanted to show you a neat way I was shown to store my Photopolymer sets.

I took the clear sheet with the images on & slide it into my stamp case … make sure that the words are “backwards”, then you can place your photopolymer stamps directly onto the case. They stick just fine.

With this set I needed to use both sides of the case, so I slide in a piece of plain white computer paper to block the writing that is on the sleeve.  You could do this to both sides if you like the brighter image on the left.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit my blog.

Have a wonderful day ~

Spring is Coming ….

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’m going to share a card with you that will warm you like spring! The warm color combination of Rose Red and Daffodil Delight bring this card to life. The magical background was created using a technique call “Bokeh” ….

This is one of the cards I created for a Make & Take project at my March Star’s by Design Team meeting … My technique club participants will be thrilled to know that they will be learning this technique in our April meetings! They however will have two totally different designs, along with a technique sheet!

I will share the details of the technique with you in April, after my technique clubs are held. It’s really not that far away.

I used the “Petal Potpourri” stamps set with the coordinating “Flower Medallion Punch”. You can bundle these two items and save 15% … love that!  Also featured on the card is the “And Many More” stamp set … a must have in your collection. We just can’t have enough greeting sets, can we?

I hope you enjoyed this touch of spring, and have a wonderful day.

Thanks for stopping by ~
