Cottage Rose

Spring is suppose to be here but it we keep getting these snow storms where we get 6"-10" of snow. In about 3 days it's melted and we start over. While I'm not a huge fan of the cold of winter, I do find snow very pretty and lots of fun to play in but I'm over it for this season! It's time for spring to makes its arrival! Since spring is taking its sweet time, I will be creating spring in my stamp room.

I was working with the stamp set Cottage Rose to create some spring like cards. Crumb Cake and Petal Pink are the two colors for this first card. The rose and greeting were stamped with Crumb Cake ink.

Nature's Harvest scrapbook pages

These pages were done this fall with the stamp set called Nature's Harvest. Nature's Harvest has a coordinating set of dies called Harvest dies.

Artistically Inked

Artistically Inked is such a pretty set and the coordinating dies include this fantastically detailed die that is so much fun to play and create cards with. I don't think you have to try to hard to make a beautiful card with this set and dies.

I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a Night of Navy layer. On the top layer I used the blending brushes with Balmy Blue and Parakeet Party inks with a mask from the Artistic Mix masks. I used Night of Navy to die cut this set of flowers and adhered it to the front of the card with some liquid adhesive. The greeting was stamped with Night of Navy ink and punched with the double oval punch. It was layered with Parakeet Party scallop oval and adhered to the card with dimensionals. A couple of rhinestones finish off this card. 

Nature's Prints

Can you tell that I really like the nature sets that Stampin' Up! carries? Nature's Prints is another one of the beauties that I truly enjoy. It has an awesome set of coordinating dies too. Let me show you three cards I made with this fantastic set.

Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce are the colors I chose. The layer behind the greeting and wreath was embossed with the Fern embossing folder and the Soft Sea Foam ink pad brushed over the top. I used the Shaded Spruce dark blend to color the ribbon.

Celebrate Sunflowers scrapbook pages

My husband loves sunflowers. They have always been a favorite of mine as well. Celebrate Sunflowers is a stunning stamp set that has a coordinating set of dies that I hope don't retire any time soon. I have enjoyed playing with them every time I have pulled them from my shelf. I don't think you can make an ugly project when using these goodies. They look fabulous with whatever you pair them with. 

I used the hostess only designer series paper called Design a Daydream with some Pool Party to create these marvelous pages.
