Spring

Retro Rubber Challenge 204...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card that celebrates spring!

RRCB 204

I love spring flowers and opted to go with some tulips.  I stamped them using my Clearly Besotted Miniature Florals from 2015 and colored using alcohol markers.  I die cut using my deckled edges and then did a daffodil delight die cut to back the image.

I used crumb cake as my base and some daffodil delight seam binding for the ribbon.  My sentiment is from my often used Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.  We have secret pals at work so my pal will get this thank you card next month for all the goodies I have received over the past nine months.  I have been spoiled!

Spring Flowers Please...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to use up our scrap stashes.

#294 3.10.23

This is not the card I started out to make.  I came across the tulips while looking for something else.  But I liked the idea of using the tulips so here we are.  We are knee deep in snow and expecting up to another foot in the next couple of days.  I need some spring flowers!

I stamped the spring sentiment and then popped up the tulips after adding a bit of twine.  I meant to add some bling but forgot.  It happens.

Tulips Mean Spring...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite thing about spring is: all of the spring flowers.  Tulips, daffodils, irises.  I love to see them pop up in the spring after the cold winter.

#292 2.10.23

I stamped the tulip images and then colored using my stampin’ blends.  I die cut them and added a bit of linen thread.

I die cut the card base using the split card textures die and then adhered the tulips.  I added the sentiment and was done.

Retro Rubber Challenge 182...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to use flowers on a card.

RRCB 182

I stamped this fun house mouse lilac image on crumbcake and then colored with my alcohol markers.  The stamp is the Sensory Overload from 2009.  It’s the first time I have ever used it and I shouldn’t have waited so long!

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 182 1

I die cut with a pierced rectangle and then backed it with heather highland.  I stamped the sentiment from my Papertrey Ink Spring Hills from 2013 before adding this beautiful purple twine.  I adhered to the base and was done.

Retro Rubber Challenge 181...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s tic tac toe!  I chose pattern paper, dry embossing and die cut.

RRCB 181

I started by running all of my paper through the linen impression plate.  Then I stamped the tulips and die cut them.  The images are from my Papertrey Ink Tulip Time stamp set from 2016.

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 181 1

I die cut the pear pizzazz and then ran it through the gridlines impression plate for my dry embossing.  I die cut it and the pattern paper with my mini stitched scallop rectangles.  I layered everything on my card base and added the sentiment which is from my Papertrey Ink Spring Hills stamp set from 2013 and punched out with my washi tape punch.  The dots added the final bit and I was done.

Retro Rubber Challenge 180...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a sketch challenge!

RRCB 180

I had many stops and starts on this one and ended up with something super clean and simple.  More simple than I intended for sure!  I cut some pattern papers and backed with crisp cantaloupe and adhered to the card front.

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 180 1

I stamped the sentiment from my Neat and Tangled Scandinavian Flowers stamp set from 2015, die cut and popped up on the card.  Done after about three hours of different ideas.  Sometimes I find the simpler the sketch, the harder it is.  Too many options!  Hopefully you won’t be stymied!

I started with these lovely tulip stamps from Papertrey Ink (2016) that I stamped in shades of pink and green and then die cut them.

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 154 1

I did a plaid die cut background out of blushing bride that I popped the tulips on.  Finally, I added the sentiment from my Neat and Tangled Scandinavian Flowers from 2015.

Spring Wishes...

It’s a new week and time to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started by stamping my trusty daffodil stamp three times and coloring with my pencils.

Then I die cut three squares and arranged them on the card base according to the sketch. I added the sentiment and some candy dots to finish the card.

Daffy For As You See It...

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It! This one is a fill in the blank and it was an easy blank for me to fill!

#146 3.24.15

My favorite thing about spring is the arrival of daffodils! I love seeing them – they are such a happy flower!

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 146 1 (565x640)

So I used my daffodil stamp and colored in with pencils and then added a sentiment. A few enamel dots and pearls and the card was done!

Spring Daffodils...

Happy Monday! It feels forever since I have said that! I have missed my crafty time and blogging! I hope to be back on schedule with a post Monday thru Friday. Although as I write this, I only have Monday thru Wednesday covered!

Today’s card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and pairs nicely with The Card Concept challenge of spring flowers!  And it ties in nicely with the Addicted to CAS challenge - code word plaid! 

I started by stamping this wonderful daffodil flower and using chalks to color it in with a bit of chalk around the flower as well. My favorite spring flowers have to be daffodils, lilacs, and tulips! They look so happy!

Www.seejanestamp.com fms 1 (640x538)

I flipped the sketch a bit by putting my plaid paper and soft sky trim on the right side with the image and sentiment on the left. I ran the card front thru the linen impression plate and thru the scallop rectangle die before popping up on crumbcake.
