Hopping For Spring!


Thank you so much for joining us for our March Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop! Temperatures are on the rise and there is just one short week until the official first day of Spring!  We are all so ready to put away our snowflakes and break out the flowers in our craft rooms!  Stampin' Up! has so many options for Spring-time flowers and we are showing you just a few of those today!

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number (insert number here) on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop – (insert name of hopper and blog name here). If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.
I knew that I wanted to use the Flower Shop Bundle and Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper for my card today. My color inspiration came from the Gingham Garden DSP. 



Growing up I was drawn to gingham fabrics, so when this DSP was released last spring, I fell in love. Since there were so many elements on my card, I wanted to stay within a 3-color scheme; but felt it need a pop of color. Melon Mambo gingham to the rescue! 

My favorite elements on this card are the Decorative Dots embossing, and the Daffodil Delight frame. While the Decorative Dots aren't incredibly obvious on the Night of Navy, it gave just the right amount of added dimension. For the frame, I cut the Pear Pizzazz with the #6 Square Framelit (if you count up, starting with #1 as the smallest). Then I cut the Daffodil Delight with # 3 and #6 at the same time. They are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals to really give the frame illusion. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope spring is in the air where you are (and without allergies) and you start seeing some spring flowers popping up around you! Let's click the Next button and head on over to see Bree's fabulous spring creation.

Bright & Sunny

Since the weather outside hasn't been bright & sunny; I thought I'd make a card that was. Though we definitely needed this rain. I hadn't realized until last week that there were burnt grass patches in the yard, along with giant cracks in the topsoil.


This card will serve well as a thinking of you, thank you, or birthday card.
This card features Melon Mambo and Island Indigo cardstock, along with the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper. Cards are a great way to use up scraps of scrapbook paper that you might having from trimming or layering a page. Speaking of our Designer Series Paper, tomorrow is the last day to get a free pack when you purchase three. The Daffodil Delight Seam Binding adds the final pop of color to "tie" the card together. (yes that pun was intended)
