Spring Vibes

>> Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Hi Everyone,

While my cards today are unrelated, I feel that what they have in common is a springtime vibe.  Spring arrives at the end of the week, so I'm here to usher it in a few days early!

Here I used the Puff Circle as a design element, and used my circle punches to layer them up.  I added the Bitsy Bumble Bee as the fourth element and paired everything up with the Another Year Flies By Greeting.  Since the background was an embossed honeycomb, I added a few stamped Honeycomb Designs to the greeting to match.  To finish the card, I added gems to the center of the flowers and a die cut vellum butterfly.


Here is a CAS sympathy card made using the Silhouette Leaf Branch stamp and the 
Remembrance Sympathy Greeting.  I chose a soothing green ink for the trees, stamping once and then again without reinking, to get that shadow effect.  It's hard to see in the photo, but I added a line of glitter under the trees before I attached the sentiment panel.


Now that Easter is just around the corner, I began making my Easter dinner invitations.  I always go with a simple design, so here they are:


And when I was even too lazy to color the crosses, I switched to die cut bunnies.


Here are the stamps I used for these:

Please stop by the DRS Designs shop to see all of the great spring time stamps!

Have a happy day :)

You've been so busy!! Excellent job on all 4 cards! LOVE your sympathy card - that tree is absolutely perfect! Your bee card is SO cute - those puffs look great die cut with the gems in the center and your Easter invites look great! Although I will say I'd rather color a bunch of crosses than drag out my cuttlebug ;)

These are fabulous, Karin! The colors are perfect for spring. The purples on the 2 w/ the puffs is wonderful & I love the texture of the lavender bands. And your sympathy card is so pretty in the greens.
