Tuesday Tutorial # 84

Mix it up a little bit. Instead of a card this Tuesday Tutorial is for a Baker's Box project.

This is a project that is in anticipation of spring! I used spring colors because I am looking forward to seeing some spring flowers soon! I've heard reports of crocus and daffodils getting ready to display their glorious tidings of spring.

This week I am sharing an encouragement card from my friend Jeannie. She sent it to me last year when I did need some encouragement. Love it!

I don't know anything about any of the products she used. Right now Stampin' Up! has a balloon set and it could be used to create a card similar to this.

Thanks for sharing this card with me Jeannie.

Tuesday Tutorial # 81

Have you seen the Sale-A-Bration brochure yet? This stamp set, "Hey, Chick" is a very popular stamp set. If you are planning on getting it don't wait until the last minute to earn it because the products in the Sale-A-bration brochure are "as supplies last".

Here's my version of a card using the Hexagon Dynamic embossing folder as a stamp for the chicken wire background.

Are you ready for some spring? Here in Oregon, almost everyone, at least everyone that I know, is ready for the ice to go and the flowers to grow.

Here's a card from my friend Betty. She used the Festive Flower Builder punch (Stampin' Up!) to create the tulips. Isn't it clever? It is an easel card that she sent for Easter.



Thank you Betty for the pot of spring! 

Have a blessed day,
Trude

Tuesday Tutorial # 82

This is a fun stamp set that I have had for many months and haven't had time to play with. It is more of a March card that I have created this time. I guess I just can't wait for spring and kite flying weather! ☺

Here's a card from Kim. She used a quote from Georgia O'Keefe to set the theme for the design of the card. That is a common technique, pick out the sentiment and then design the card. Works great, as you can see, for design inspiration.

She used a stamp from Stampin' Up!'s Work of Art stamp set to create the palette of colors.

This card was created by my friend, Betty. Isn't is great what you can do with a few pieces of paper and some cute embellishments? I think it would be a great way to use up some of the scraps that I just can't seem to part with. I'm not short on extra embellishments either. 

How about you, could you use some inspiration for some of your scraps? I have a board for tags on my Pinterest site and I think the craft board has some bookmarks. That's two ways to use up some of the scraps!
