Spring is here, and tulips definitely say Spring! Both of the cards today let this beautiful and large tulip image do all the talking. It was stamped, colored and backed by a piece of coordinating card stock and adhered to the card base.

Not sure there are deep purple or blue tulips, but since these cards are for my DILs, they are colored in their favorite colors. So there’s that!

Nothin’ fancy but oh so lovely.

Here’s a CAS card made with a stamp set that I’ve had for quite awhile. It was time to dust it off and USE IT!

When stamping the sentiment I positioned it so that it would look like the sweet little fairy was writing the greeting herself. She was colored with Copics and had a few rhinestones added to her dress. This may be a clean and simple card, but one has to have a some sparkle!

Sometimes I’m just in the mood to make a quick CAS (clean and simple) card. It makes me happy.

The greenery and sentiment were stamped directly onto the main panel. The bottle was stamped, fussy cut and then popped up on foam tape. Lastly, a twine bow and pearl were added. Voila!

I love this darling image from Clear Art Stamps! Pretty straight forward card making here, too. Stamped an image, colored it and mounted it to a piece of designer paper and adhered to the card base.

This card was truly about the coloring.. I used over 30 Copics. Can we say, “Fun!” Oh and Little St. Nick got some rhinestone buttons, too.

It was taking me forever trying to decide which of these two closeup images I wanted to use. Finally gave up and put both in the post.

Remember Inchies and Twinchies? Oh how I loved those little squares. So I pulled them out and used them again!

On today’s cards I used a couple of small pieces of the beautiful scenic paper by Stampin’ Up! called “New Horizons.” The scenes were adhered to two black twinchies.

A square stitched die was used to cut a backing for the Twinchies. Trees were stamped either directly onto the card base or die cut and placed behind the scene.

A sentiment was stamped directly onto the card base.
