Spring Cards

We have a spring card class on Thursday, February 28th from 10am -12pm.  We hope you can join us.  We'll make six cards, however, so far.. I only made two!!  I will get on it!

This first card is made with ek success flower punches.  There are three sizes and I just stacked them up and then put a pink gemstone in the middle.  I used two separate flourish stamps by memory box and the sentiment happy spring is by a muse art stamps.

We got a new tool in our store it's a marvy paper trimmer and you can use 8 different blades to make a pinking shear look, a wave, scallop.. it's so fun.  I can't use those scissors with the funky edge blades.. my cards will look like rejects. 

This next card is one of my favorites.  I used the scallop edge blade from our new paper trimmer and just did some layering and stamped a floral cluster by rubbermoon all over and the pots of flowers by memory box.

I then used white liquid pearls on the top of the card.  Also, look closely at the polka dots all over the flowers and the table.  I used the uniball white pen.  We have a ton of them in stock right now at the store.  It's the best ever pen and looks even better on chocolate or black papers.  If you ever wanted a nice writing pen in white..it's this one.  In fact, they don't even manufacture it in the U.S...it comes all the way from Japan.

Anyway.. there's nothing like this pen.. really!!  Come by and try it out.

My cousin Laurie and I spent most of the day changing out our windows from Valentine's to Spring.  I will have to have my husband take pix.  We have two big windows at the store and we did a birthday party window (Laurie's idea.. so cute!) and I made some cute party hats from our papers on the wall.  In the other window, it's like a egg hunt.. I made about 30 giant pinwheels from the papers on our wall..it's soooooo cute.  Very spring.. I am just waiting for the sun to shine!

Hi there! This is a great piece!! I love how you added those polka dots!! Very clever! Question though? What kind of uniball white pens are those? I'm having a hard time finding a perfect white pen? Thanks!!
