Card A Day Blog Post: Easter

Hello!  Can you believe March is almost over?  Where has the time gone?!  It feels like Winter at my house with these cold temps so I am having a hard time realizing it is indeed Spring!  So I was more than happy to make an Easter themed card for Card A Day Blog this week.  It was lots of fun to work with the fun pastel colors and gave me hopes of warmer weather soon.

I came across this patterned paper in my stash.  The patterns reminded me of Easter eggs for some reason.  However, it had the grungy brown detailing to it.  I liked that but had to think of a way to incorporate that color into the pastel theme of Easter.  So viola..I pulled out my Easter Tree Digital Stamp. I colored the tree brown thus incorporating the grungy color with the pastel Easter eggs.  I also added some glitter glue to each egg for some sparkle.  The card started with my newest file Card Base 3.  This file is perfect for showcasing taller stamps like my tree! Some rick rack finishes off the card.  If you would like to purchase any of the files I used for this card...please click on the previews below to be taken directly to my store.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please come back again!  Enjoy the rest of your week!

Card A Day Blog: Think Spring

Howdy!  Ahh Spring is in the air!  Well I know it's not really Spring but that is the theme this week at the Card a Day blog.  I am soo ready for Spring and Spring flowers.  We actually had some really warm weather today.  It was such a nice change..I'm going to enjoy every minute of this warm weather as later in the week it is supposed to get cold again!  UGH!

One of the first things I notice when Spring is trying to sprout is my Lily of The Valley plants pushing their heads up through the ground.  So..I decided to make a few cards featuring my version of the Lily of the Valley plant. 

I used Case this sketch #67 for my inspiration. 

I used two of the newest files added to my store...Think Spring and Pennant Border Set.  I also used my Sentiments:  Script for the greeting.  You can purchase them by clicking directly on the previews below:

 

One thing I like to do when I make a card is to cut enough pieces out to make a duplicate card.  That way I increase my stash.  Below is another one I made.

This time I decided to stamp and emboss the sentiment using PaperTrey Ink's Mat Stack stamp.  Oh and it's very hard to tell in the photos but I used PTI's rosie posie to stamp the edge of the background paper in tone on tone ink.  It really does add a lot to the card in person.

I really enjoyed this sketch.  It was fun to do since I am a very linear person when it comes to card making.  I really loved the fun element the tilted tag shadow added.
