Spring Has Sprung…

Spring Has Sprung  is a NEW set for March from CC Designs.  I combined it with the NEW Swiss Pixies Bunny Lucy and  the ticket stamp from the NEW Spring Logos set.

I stamped these cuties with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill Color Copy Cover card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.   All the grays are the T’s.  I made an Easel card with one add on.  I have a couple videos on making this type of card… HERE (2 min. long)  and HERE is a video with two add-ons (3 min. long)…

March is blowing in like a lion in Iowa this week… Sunday started with snow all day and cold…yesterday the high was 74˚!!!  Crazy!  Is it only in Iowa you can experience all four seasons in one week?! lol   Have a good one!

I used the Martha Stewart grass border punch but I couldn’t find it to link to,  so I linked to the Magnolia Doohickey grass die and the My Favorite Things grass die.

Daisy Knitting…so cute!

I can hear those needles clicking!  Two of our daughters knit and they make gorgeous things!  When I saw this image I loved it!  wonder what I was thinking though… none of our three daughters have blonde hair!   This is dear Daisy, from Marianne Designs Don and Daisy clear stamp line.

I used the Perfect Layers Rulers and matted everything in sight, just cuz I can, easily anymore!  LOVE them!  This ad is so fun to see the before and after!  It’s linky if you want to click over to the site and see more about it!  Some of you have watched my video where I’m using the rulers… it’s HERE.

The scissors die is from Marianne Designs also… I cut it out of silver mirror card-stock… love that shiny stuff!  It worked so neat!  I poked a hole and added a screw brad… it looks real!  I linked to JoannaSheen.com and the price exchanges out to $6.22 and that includes shipping!   Not sure where to send you for the mirror card-stock…maybe Marco’s paper.com?

I stamped Daisy with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I used one of the new colors even!  BG 57!

I finally used a couple of the first Memory Box dies they came out with last year.  The button border and the button set.  Very fun!  I did stamp the dotted circles on them from an old clear set I have from Carolee’s Creations.  I layered the individual buttons on top of the button border die… they MATCH!  awesome!  The pattern paper is October Afternoon Farmhouse pad, the button card paper is from that pad also and the thread top embellishment is from Pink Paislee… I think it’s called Vintage Vogue but not completely sure about that.  I will try to find them to link up!

I’m linking my card to the Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge blog… 3 Different Papers

Have fun creating whatever you’re up to!  I’ve been attempting to organize a bit… ugh… why does it seem worse?!  It has to get better!  At least my desk has all the Christmas debris thrown away… you know, the die cuts you didn’t use etc. hehe

Thanks for stopping by!  I love hearing from you and seeing what you’re up to!

CC Designs Swiss Pixies February Review Day!  I used Pixie Lucy, Woodland Daisy and Woodland Logos…

She’s so sweet!

Images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used some different Copic colors this time…for me anyway!  For the pink clothes I started out with R11.  Then teeny amounts of R12 and R20.  On her Wings I used R0000 all over, then R000, 00, 01 and 02. The greens are BG90’s.  The big flower is R20, R43 and R46.  The teeny flowers are E24, E07 and E59.  Her hair is E50, 51, 53, 55.  Acorns are the E40’s.

The paper is from one of those 4×6 ish paper pads from DCWV called Mariposa.

LOVE the Woodland Daisy “seat” and AmyR Stamps Be Happy sentiments…”just sitting here thinking of YOU”!  (stamped with my trusty stamp a ma jig…LOVE that thing!) Check out the super tiny acorns on the Woodland Pixie Logo… I cut out a couple and popped them up!
