With all the snow, ice, and cold weather, not just in Texas but all over the country, I thought it was time to think about spring! Tulips, bunnies, and a basket of eggs – that says spring quite well, I think!
I pulled out the Springtime Joy Stamp Set which is in the Spring Mini Catalog. It’s not part of a Bundle or anything, just a simple stamp set, so don’t miss it! It’s perfect for spring and Easter and other occasions.
I often like to stamp randomly on the cardstock to make a background myself rather than use designer paper so I stamped all over the background with the tulip stamp in Memento Ink and then colored in the tulips with Stampin’ Blends. I used Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green for the tulips with a bit of Daffodil Delight on the green leaves.
The card base is Granny Apple Green with a Flirty Flamingo layer. The way I made this big color decision was when I pulled out the cardstock, these two colors were right next to each other! I thought it looked springy and bright so used them!
The bunny and the basket were stamped on a piece of Basic White Cardstock. I played around with various dies until I found something that fit around the bunny and could have a layer behind it. I chose these rectangles in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut out the bunny and then to make a Granny Apple Green layer. I cut the basket of eggs out separately with my Paper Snips and popped it up like the bunny is holding the basket. The eggs were colored with Pool Party, Balmy Blue, and a bit of light pink.
The greeting is stamped with the spring sentiment in the Springtime Joy Stamp Set and then layered on a die-cut piece of Granny Apple Green. Here is another way I used the bunny in this stamp set by placing it on a gift bag.
If you purchase this stamp set early, you will have time to use it for spring and Easter, but the darling bunny and lamb could be used for baby cards and projects, also.
Although I found the winter weather we finally had in Houston after several years to be a little exciting and I’m always happy to see snow as long as my family and I are at home, I think we are all reaching our limit with this winter storm with power outages and such low water pressure you barely have water! Usually winter in Houston lasts one day but this one is something else! Time to think about spring! If you are snowed in, maybe it is time to make something for spring similar to this Welcome Spring Bunny Card.
