Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts

Are you ready for a cart full of spring flowers?  I sure am.  Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts stamp set is just perfect to help set the tone for your spring cards.  I just love this market cart filled with beautiful spring flowers.

Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts Stamp Set, Thinking of You, Spring
This was a fun card to make — just stamp the cart with Memento ink and then do a little coloring with Stampin’ Blends.  I love coloring with these markers — there are no streaking lines.  I am still learning how to shade better but just straight coloring is fabulous — it looks awesome every time.

Cake Soiree Pop Up Card

Last week I shared the wonderful Pop-Up Cards that we did at our Stampin’ Sisters Retreat.  Many of my customers weren’t able to attend our retreat and wondered how to make these cards pop up.  So, I decided to share this great technique at my Fast & Fabulous Cards Class last night.  It looks hard but they found it really wasn’t hard at all.  This time I used the Sweet Soiree designer paper and the Cake Soiree Bundle.  I think it turned out quite cute.

This card is adorable just like this, write your greeting inside and you are ready to pop it in the mail, but WAIT, we aren’t done yet.  Check out the inside:

St. Patrick’s Day – March Scrapbook Pages

I wanted to share my March Scrap & Go pages with you.  Each month’s pages focus on the holiday, either with stamps or color schemes.  March of course is St. Patrick’s Day.  Now I know that not everyone is Irish but a little green never hurt anyone right.

I designed these pages without any shamrocks or pots of gold.  I used the Naturally Eclectic Designer Paper as the main focus and added layers of Lemon Lime Twist for pictures.  I added little “sparkles” from Epic Celebration stamp set with Tranquil Tide ink.  You only have 10 days left to earn the Epic Celebration stamp set.  Do you have it yet?
