RAIN BOOTS, UMBRELLA, SPRING FLOWERS AND DUCKIES..

WHAT DO ALL THESE THINGS HAVE IN COMMON?  RAIN BOOTS, UMBRELLA, SPRING FLOWERS AND DUCKIES??      S P R I N G   R A I N

I used the stamp set called SPRING SAMPLER for my card today.  I chose 5 stamps that I think depict where we are here in Gulf Coast Texas.  It is still cold at nights and windy cold, but the days are beautiful blue one day and gray and rainy the next.  We definitely do NOT complain about the rain since we have been 2 years in a drought now.  We WANT these spring rains to come as often as they can!!

I used spring colors of gumball green, starfruit, certainly celery and old olive.  Isn't this a cute and simple card?

 I used the postage stamp punch to punch out the inked images, then I layered them on top of the scallop square punch in gumball green and starfruit.

 The ribbon is not showing up with the true color.  It is also summer starfruit like the duck.  And here the green is showing up too dark.  I am sorry about the lighting.

The designer paper is from the Print Poetry paper stack and it is gumball green.  The rain cloud and raindrops is NOT gray, but is certainly celery.

Hope you enjoyed my card.  I am linking it to the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by my blog!!  Won't you leave me a comment on my card for today?

SALE-A-BRATION BLOG HOP - DAY TWO

This has been so much fun seeing all the ideas from my team mates.  I hope you have found some ideas and also some products you want to add to your "stash".

I have what I think is a very  CUTE GIFT for a THANK YOU to teachers, or a THINKING OF YOU for a friend, etc.  It is a little decorated holder of a mini pen and some post-it notes.  Perfect for someone's desk or purse.

 Here are three of them I made, each a little different but the same design template.

 I used the following card stock colors:
   Summer Starfruit
   Midnight Muse
   Gumball Green

The designer paper pack is called PRINT POETRY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER STACK.  It is a pack of 48 double sided papers sized at 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" in a pad.  Easy to store and easy to flip through to choose what you want to use.  I LOVE this size of DSP.  It is in our new SPRING CATALOG.

 Here it is open so you can better understand the design.  These mini pens are being sold all over, and the best price I found in my area is in the discount aisle at Target.  They say Little Kitty on them, but hey, I don't think it matters, does it?

The PETITE BUTTERFLY PUNCH is from the Spring Catalog, and the curly label punch is from the large annual catalog.  The PETITE CURLY LABEL PUNCH is a FREE item from Sale-a-Bration.  The "hello" is from the stamp set called PRETTY PETITES and is also a FREE item from Sale-a-Bration.  I used pearls for the bodies of the butterflies.

Thanks so much for visiting each day of our blog hop.  If you do not have a demonstrator, please consider letting me be your demonstrator, won't you?

another card club card and Mojo Monday 266

Hello Stampers,

I have the last card to share with you from our card club last month.  I really like this simple card with the Victorian look about it.

If you have not purchased this new holiday paper pack yet, you MUST get it.  It is such a convenient size for making cards AND it is full of such beautiful patterns.  These three papers you see on this card all come from this paper pack.

 The card base is gumball green, then a layer of the designer paper from the paper pack, then I cut another designer print into a banner and put that on next.  Before I put the plaid designer paper I sponged it lightly with soft suede to give it a more antique look.  The final layer is the stamped sentiment on very vanilla.

This close up shows how I lightly sponged the edge of the vanilla sentiment and then added two pearls for that little antique touch.  And the button with the cherry cobbler bakers twine adds the final touch!!  I am very pleased with how this card came out.  LOVE IT.

Won't you leave me a comment and tell me what you think about my card?  I don't usually combine patterns very much, but this one just took on a life of it's own and I think it really works well.  LOVE

Thanks for visiting today.  If you don't have a demonstrator, won't you consider ordering YOUR supplies from me?  Especially this lovely paper pack from the Holiday Catalog.

Good afternoon to you all.  Talk to you again in a day or two.
