A simple spring card

Someone just told me that we are still expecting two more winter storms! Despite this news it is beginning to look and feel a bit more like spring outside. When designing cards for a workshop last night I decided I really needed to feature spring things. So I have butterflies and flowers to share.

Sweet Shapes is a set which I bought at A11’s request and was not sure what I would do with it. When everyone used it for the Make and Take last night it was a hit and a few people ordered it for themselves It was certainly easy to get a pretty design with the two step butterflies.

Supplies:

Stamps: Sweet Shapes
Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Apricot Appeal, Almost Amethyst
Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Apricot Appeal, Almost Amethyst, Confetti White
Also: Apricot grosgrain ribbon

Hello Baby Boy

Three families we know have had babies in the last week so I have made a start on some baby cards. Two had boys and one a girl. I have been enjoying the Chocolate chip ink and cardstock lately so thought it would make a good boy colour scheme when combined with Not quite Navy. I stamped the letters on vanilla cardstock and then stuck them on not quite navy before cutting around them. I sponged all the edges but made it heavier in two corners.

Supplies:

Stamps: Sweet Shapes, Headline Alphabet
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Vanilla, Not quite Navy
Ink: Chocolate Chip,Not quite Navy
Also: Stampin’ dimensionals
