Gingham Garden Encouragement Card

I created a card for the Sunday Stamps Challenge that continued the use of the Gingham Garden DSP. The Gingham Garden paper pack is perfect for spring cards and other paper projects. It will be fun to see what new spring papers that Stampin' Up! will have in the new catalog when it comes out in June.

I used the bird from the Backyard Basics set and then when I checked the retired list this morning I found out that the Backyard Basic set is sold out and no longer available. I like this bird because it is realistic and can be colored in so many ways.

Hello Spring! Banner

It is officially spring! It may not look like it where you are, and there was frost on all the roof tops here, this morning, but it is spring! I noticed many blooming trees on my way to and from the gym this morning. Love it!
I made this spring banner with the new pennants framelits that are in the Stampin' Up! spring occasions catalog.

I pulled out quite a few stamp sets that have flowers in them. The main stamp set I used was Backyard Basics. I also used Flower Shop, Secret Garden and a flower from the free Sale-A-Bration set, Petal Parade.

I used framelits for almost everything. I didn't use them for the large flowers on the banner ends, but I could have. Secret Garden does have the matching framelits. I used the pennant framelits for the banner bases. Then I used Apothecary Accent framelits for the letter bases. The letters themselves are a Spellbinder die set. Then I used the Backyard Basics framelit set for most of the pennant accents.It sure made the banner go together faster to use the Big Shot to do all that cutting!
