Make a Splash

Hello!  Today I'm sharing this adorable card over on the Scrapping Cottage blog for my design team post. I have another sweet die set to showcase on this card from the new Spring die release.

The Splish Splash Duckling was shaded with my Oxide Inks and tucked inside the oversized tub.  I also cut out a sign from the Route 66 Road Signs die set for the sentiment.  The circle is from the Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set.

I selected a cheery background for featuring the duck at the focal point of my card.  I trimmed down the road sign, stamped it with a fun sentiment and layered the 2 pieces.

To build my card, I placed the scallop circle die cut in the center of my card.  The sweet duck was centered inside the circle.

Next, the water splashes and bubbles were clustered around the duck for a whimsical look on my card.

The layered sentiment sign was adhered on the bottom of the card for a final finishing touch.

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Hello Spring

Hello!  Today I'm sharing this card over on the Scrapping Cottage blog for my design team post.  This card is perfect for welcoming the Spring season which is right around the corner.

My card was inspired by all of the colors in the plaid card base.  I inked up a die cut from the Stitched Square Set and splattered it with some water for a softer appearance.

The die cuts are from the Hello Spring Bloom and Springtime Pals die sets.  I opted to leave the handle off of the pail so that it would look like a flower pot.  An extra fence panel was cut so that the fence would stretch across the square panel.  All of the die cuts were shaded with some Oxide Inks.

The square was centered on the card base with the fence layered inside.  The flower pot was adhered on top of the fence.

I continued to build the Spring theme by adding the tiny bird next to the flower pot. The snail was added to the top of the fence.

The "Hello Spring" sentiment was adhered on top of the square panel giving the card a whimsical appearance.

Celebrate

Hello!  I have a fun card to share over on the Scrapping Cottage blog for my design team post.  The Spring die release has so many wonderful dies that can be used in a variety of ways.

I cut out the pieces from the Rooster & Chick die set and shaded the pieces with some Oxide Inks. The Cross-Stitched Squares were cut out with different pieces of card stock to coordinate with the rooster.  The Celebrate sentiment was cut out of some patterned card stock.

I created a simple background with some bright and cheery papers from my stash and layered it with a couple of overlapping squares.

Next, I added the solid square toward the bottom of my card and adhered the sentiment on the other square for a contrasting look.

The sun was layered above the rooster and on top of the larger square.  The sun broke up the bold pattern a bit.

The sweet chick gazing at the rooster was the final finishing accent on my card.

Have a Dandy Day!

Hello!  I'm sharing a sweet card for my design team post over on the Scrapping Cottage blog.  The new Spring die release has some of the most adorable die sets to use for those Easter creations however with a few slight adjustments, the dies are versatile for all types of occasions.

I cut out the ducks from the Daffodil Duck and Duckling with Kite die sets.  All of the die cuts were shaded with some Oxide Inks.

I stamped a sentiment from the Scrappy Moms retired "Walking on Sunshine" stamp set on a piece of card stock.  The stamped rectangle was adhered on a strip of card stock to create a sentiment sign for my card.

A bit more Oxide Ink was used to create a soft background for my card background.  I went with a combination of 2 colors for a CAS look.

Once the background was done, I simply adhered the adorable ducks on my card base for a whimsical appearance.

The sentiment sign was canchored in the middle of the card between the 2 ducks for a finishing touch.

Easter Egg Hunt

Hello!  Today, I'm showcasing a card over on the Scrapping Cottage blog with the new Spring dies.  I absolutely adore these sweet bunnies, they are the cutest!

This Easter card was created with the Easter Egg Hunt die set.  The scene came together beautifully with some soft inking of the die cuts.  The sweet bunnies were nestled on the Spring Grass die cut.  A few extra tulips were sprinkled on the grass as embellishments.  I added a couple of bows to the bunnies as a fun element.  My scene was finished off with the sun and clouds from the new Spring Frogs set.

Wishing You A Basketfull of Goodies

Hello!  Today I have card to share over on the Scrapping Cottage blog created with the new Spring die release.  The die showcased on my card has an incredible amount of detail with all of its fun elements.

Happy Birthday

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a birthday card over on the Scrapping Cottage blog created with the new Spring dies.  In my family we have several birthdays over the next few months so I converted the sweet Carrot Farmer Truck to a farm truck loaded with flowers from the new Spring Blooms die set.

I found some bright and cheery papers in my stash and used them to create my card base that coordinated perfectly.

Next, I cut out the truck and added the flowers to the back.  I used the Route 66 sign pieces for the sentiment and for an embellishment.  The card panel is from the Stitched Rectangle set and the circle is from the Circle set.

The card panel and circle were adhered on top of my card base.  The truck was nestled inside the circle.

My first embellishment was placed at the top of the panel leaving enough room for the sentiment arrow.

Once I added the arrow, a set of coordinating enamel dots were placed vertically along the edge of the card panel.  The embellishments were the perfect finishing accents on this fun and festive card.

You Are My Honey

Hello! Today I'm sharing this adorable card over on the Scrapping Cottage blog for my design team post. My card was created with the Busy Bee die from the new release of Spring dies which are currently on sale.

This card was inspired by a selection of fun papers in my stash.  Once I selected my papers I went with a sweet card which can be used for Valentine's Day or as an anniversary card.

The Busy Bee die was used for the 2 bees and then I went with a few of the basic dies (Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle and Stitched Circle) for my card background.

In preparation of my card pieces, I stamped the sentiment inside the circle.  I also hand cut a little flag to use as an embellishment on my card.

I layered a solid black card base with the patterned paper background.  Next I added the 2 pieces cut with the Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle die set on top.

The white circle was nested inside the scallop circle and the set of circles were adhered on my card base.

I popped up the bees on some foam dots for added dimension.  The two bees surrounded the sentiment circle and the flag was added as a finishing touch.
