Sending Warm and Happy Wishes This Spring

Hell and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a fun springtime card with you today.  This card just screams Spring.  With it's playful floral designer series paper on the front and the sneak peek of the bunny on the inside of the card.  Here's a look at today's card.  

Flowering Fields: 

For the designer series paper on the front of the card I picked the beautiful Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper.  There where so many patterns in this pack of DSP that you could pick that the possibilities of this card is endless.  I decided to go with one of the Fresh Freesia patterns for today's card and pulled all the colors that I used for this card straight from the DSP.  

If you have asked yourself if you would like some florals for spring? Than you are differently going to answer Yes, please with this pack of designer series paper! You won't want to miss the fresh florals of the Flowering Fields 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper! You'll find an abundance of color with gouache hand-painted tulips and complementary patterns. The designs are scaled perfectly for cardmaking, so you can send these delightful tulips to all your friends!

Easter Friends Stamp Set: 

The sentiment and the image that I stamped on the inside of today's card both came from the Easter Friends Stamp Set.  You will be able to create the cutest handmade projects using the Easter Friends Stamp Set. You will not even believe how cute they are yourself:  Even after creating them.  The Easter Friends Stamp Set was designed for cardmaking, but this set is perfect for Easter or friendship cards. 

Its springtime imagery includes a duck, a rabbit (which I stamped on the inside of the card with Fresh Freesia Classic Ink), and a chick, all designed to work together or individually. The set also includes springtime sentiments in a lovely script font that I just love.  You can use the sentiments in full, or mask off part of the wording for even greater versatility. The set's artistic style is also great for watercoloring with Stampin' Up! Water Painters. Get it now, prepare your coloring tools, and have some happy spring-stamping time! 

The Finishing Touches: 

To finish off my card today it was all about the layers!  I added the piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to a piece of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock cut just 1/8" larger than the DSP.  I than wrapped some of the 3/8" Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check Ribbon around the smaller layer and tied it into a flat knot.  Next I layered that panel onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock layered onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock again cut 1/8" larger than the Basic White Cardstock layer.  

I layered the card front onto a card base made from Fresh Freesia Cardstock.  I stamped the beautiful script sentiment in Fresh Freesia Classic Ink and punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch.  I then added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  To finish off the card I added a single flower that was punched from Rich Razzleberry Cardstock with the Strawberry Builder Punch and added it to the card front with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional.  I then added one single Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of the small flower; for a little sparkle.
