Abuzz With Spring

This is the flower from the Every Moment stamp set.  I colored it with markers and blender pen, embossed the background with square lattice EF, and then add the crochet trim with a button.  Clean and simple.

Pinwheel Birthday

My friend's granddaughter is having her 1st birthday party today, and I made this card for her.  I pre-ordered the bitty banner framelits that will be avail in the new 2012 - 2013 catalog; I think they will be one of my favorite must haves, along with the label framelit :-)  I tried the pinwheel technique and had fun with it!  To make the pinwheel you just start with a triangle (I cut a 2 1/2" square in half); then fold over the inside edge of each triangle and glue it to a circle in back.  Then cover the front seems of the 4 triangles with a decorative brad, button, or stamped circle.

On the inside I used the create a cupcake stamp set and punch, along with happiest birthday wishes hostess set.  The happy birthday sentiment is a little crooked, but I figured since she's only 1 she may not notice :-)

For You From Me

Another inspired by spring project, using stamps from Elements of Style, Fresh Vintrage, and A Word For You sets. Embossed with square lattice, and used label punch and diecut. Simple but springish :-)

Apothecary Note of Thanks

I absolutely love the Apothecary Art set item #125527 with the label framelits from the occasions mini catalog 2012.  The set is still available for early order, as it is one of the carry-overs into the new 2012 - 2013 idea book and catalog. 
I used the marker layering technique as shown on one of Karen Barber's posts.  The embossing folders are the vintage wall paper, square lattice, and perfect polka dots; the punch is the lace border.  The paper colors used are daffodil delight, wild wasabi, pink pirouette, very vanilla.

Ride in Peace

This card was inspired by my Idaho friend Heather who has a love for horses and the outdoors :-)  It is not my traditional style, but it makes me think peaceful thoughts!  It is done with a brayer and masking technique.  The cowboy is embossed.  Have a blessed day!
