Sprng...Where art thou?


I am so ready for spring but it will not be here until at least after Easter, so I made a card to show how easter looks in the mountains.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I created a sky background and then added some flowers with snow on them of course and a snowman all colored with OLO markers and cut out with coordinating dies. 
Easter is always cold but I hope it is a little warmer where you are.

I am up on the CutCardStock blog sharing this card using some colored cardstock along with their precut and scored cardstock.

To make this card, I started with a pre cut and scored card base and a precut panel along with several colors of cardstock. I used the following colors from DSC Pastel Pink, Orange Zest, Light Yellow, Granny Smith, Caribbean Blue, and Hydrangea. I used a Green from Basis and Bubblegum from Lessebo. Lessebo cardstock is also on sale. 

I used a die set by Concord & 9th, first I the cut large piece out using a pre cut panel and then cut all the floral pieces out using the colored cardstock. After I got them all cut out I used some inks for shading and then placed them on the large panel.

It's Magic!


Today starts a new Stay Crafty challenge over at A Blog Named Hero.
the challenge is to use embossing powder. I remember the first time I used embossing powder I was mesmerized. It was definitely my gateway drug into the crafting world. 


To make my card, I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of white heavystock for the embossing.
For the embossing part I used a technique that I learned from my friend and teammate BreAnn.  To do this technique, I used some white Hero paste with a stencil. While the paste was still wet I sprinkled four different  embossing powders over it mushed them into the paste and then heated it. I cut the panel at an angle so I could use it on two cards.  
I cut out the "happy" three times to layer them for dimension and then added it to the panel along with a stip of purple. To finish the card, I stamped  the word birthday underneath the happy.
