Spring Rains

It's finally begining to be spring like here. On Monday it rained a good part of the day.

So I felt a little gloomy, and wanted to cheer myself up, so I made some springy cards.

 

This card uses three different products. Can you pick them out?

1 - The Watercolor Wonder Notecard Set

2 - Bootiful Occasions Stamp Set

3 - Rain or Shine Stamp Set.

I cut the notecard is half so that I could make 2 cards. I then created a base of Gumball Green (I am going to miss this color sooo much) and added a layer of Daffodil Delight. 

I stamped the boots on white and colored in using Pacific Point marker.

The umbrellas I stamped in Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral. I cut them out and stamped the umbrella handles directly on the card.

The sentiment is stamped on the card also.

A fun and quick card.

Stamp Happy!

Canvas Project

Two months ago hubby and I went on vacation.

We took with us his cousin Jessica and her hubby. It was actually their 20th anniversary vacation, and we tagged along.

Jessica and I are good friends, so it was easy to go on vacation together.

So a cruising we went.

If you have ever been on a cruise, you know that they take about 50 pictures of you and then they try to sell them all to you.

Well they took a good one of Jessica and me, so I did buy it.

It's been sitting in my craft room, and this past weekend I finally grabbed it and got crafty.

 I started with a plain white 6x6 canvas that I purchased at a craft store.

I then covered with a coat of gesso and added pacific point blue with an aqua painter

 I added the photo at an angle, I just thought it looked better that way.

Next I added some lace to two of the sides.

Finally I cut some whitewashed flowers from the Secret Garden set, and some spiral flowers out of fleece and hot glued them onto the canvas. Oh yeah and some strawberry slush cabochons.

I think it turned out lovely! It now is hanging in front of my work space, so I can remember our fun trip together and they day we spent in Key West.

I hope this inspires you to create something today.

Perfect Blend - Sweater Weather

I love the sweater weather paper.

It just makes me happy.

Luckily I purchased a couple of packs and still have some left over.

I send out a lot of thank you cards, so I wiped up a four pack of these cards to have on hand.

I know spring is coming, but I just can't leave my sweaters just yet.

I stamped the cup on the pattern paper, a piece of ivory natural and white natural. I cut them out and put them together.

I love the look, although I am not a coffee drinker (if you see me at Starbuck's, I am getting a Tall Non-Fat Chai Latte).

The orange stripes in the background are from Gorgeous Grunge.

I hope you enjoyed today's card.

Stamp Happy :)
