I can't believe that Spring is almost here! I'm looking forward to the mild, sunny days and more time outside working in my garden! With these thoughts in mind, I set out to make 3 Spring cards for my stamp class and I absolutely LOVE these cards!
All the cards used paper from the Designer Series paper: Shades of Spring in the 2010 Occasions Mini catalog. I just ADORE the colors used in this pack of paper: Orchid Opulence, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink... SO SPRINGY! :)

Accessories:

Notes: This card was so simple to assemble! Just stamp flower burst images all over the main Whisper White cardstock, then a couple more flowers on some scrap to cut out. Punch a scallop edge on a piece of scrap So Saffron long enough to go across the card... tuck it under the Shades of Spring paper just so it plays Peek-A-Boo above the strip of paper. Glue some ribbon across and done!
Card #2

That strip of design in Chocolate Chip under the park bench is a stamp from the same set. Just stamp it and cut it so it's as tall as the image and as wide as the cardstock you have for your tree. Simple assembly!

Notes:
Another peek-a-boo border! Punch the edge on a piece of scrap Whisper White as wide as the card, tuck it under the Shades of Spring paper so just the edge of it is poking out. Wrap a strip of ribbon and then tie a bow and glue it down. I punched a butterfly in Orchid Opulence to lay under the Whisper White butterfly. Fun card! Easy assembly!
