    Three Daffodils

    Well Spring popped it’s head out for a few days here and now it is back in the 30’s. I say this because my spring flowers are starting to break through the dirt, which reminded me of this card.

    I die cut the three daffodils and leaves and glued them to the white card stock.  Then, I cut and embossed two different pieces of patterned card stock and then added a banner with Happy Easter to finish the front.  For the inside, I added a sentiment about coming together and to celebrate new beginnings.

    Bunny in a Wreath

    I have several cards that I have made using Stampin Up’s Paper Pumpkin kit for February 2024.  This kit was so fun to use that I bought a second one to create more spring cards.

    I used a light pink for the card base and added the checked pattern on top. Next, I added a flower wreath which was in the kit and popped it up on dimensionals.  The bunny was a stamp in this month’s kit so I stamped the bunny then colored it’s ears with a light pink marker and popped the bunny up also on dimensionals.  I stamped Happy Easter which is another stamp in the kit and attached it to the bunny.  For the last bit of flare for the front I added a couple of white dots.

    For the inside of the card I added a small trim of checked paper along the right side  and stamped the sentiment, “Wishing you a joyous Easter and a delightful Spring.”

    Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

    This card was for my card group we had to do a card with a pet so I did this cute puppy dog.

    I know as my kids were growing up they would get excited about their birthdays and count the days down to when their birthday was, that’s where the saying comes in, “Good things come to those who wait,” I would tell them in a few more days it will be your birthday.

    I made the doghouse from first using an embossing folder like wood on red card stock and then adding a little black ink to show some age on the house. The dog was colored right on the background using copic markers.

    For the inside I stamped a few balloons and the birthday sentiment.
