Oh am I excited about this Hello Spring stamp set! Ok maybe I am excited about 

spring and the possibility of sun and warmth too, but it's all relative. 

Hi there AA friends I ave 3 cards to share today one is inking simple fun

and the other two I layered a bit including making a faux glass vase. 

My first card is a fun "Lucky" card I know I have a friend who will

be getting this soon. I tok some patterned green paper I had and stamped

the clovers onto it, then went to fussy cutting. 

Can you see the layer of green between the card stocks?

How fun is this beautiful Hello Spring set?

Here's a detailed shot of the stamped images. 

For my next card I just played with different colored inks on it. 

Originally i was going to color it all in but I like the shading of the inks 

I left it very clean and simple. 

 I also inked the edges in grass and sky colors for fun. 

This card looks nothing like I imagined at first but that's the fun in stamping!

 And my last card you probably want to know how I made the

glass vase. Well the handy vase stamp worked amazing with StazOn 

on acrylic so I stamped the image. I had to stamp 4 or 5 times because 

when stamping on a non porous surface it is straight up and down and only

one impression per ink.

 After I let it dry a moment on the back I coated it with liquid glass effects

in blue and let it dry. It looks like a stained glass sort of once it dries. 

Right before it was dry I put it on the card so I wouldn't need any adhesive. 

So that's my show today! Hope you found it useful and inspiring. 

Now go create something!

Hello Spring with Heather H.

Heather has created three OUTSTANDING projects for you today!  Love them!!

Hello! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards - I don't know about you, but it sure has been feeling like Spring lately here in the Northwest - while other places seem to be super buried in snow! I miss the snow, but I have to admit 60 to 70 degree days in January with the sun shining aren't too bad either! Anyway - it was fun to play along with the new stamp set for this month appropriately named, Hello Spring:

I started off with a super simple card using the pretty vase and one of the stems and flowers. 

I stamped the flower and vase with black ink, then the leaf and stem in green dye ink. I used Copics to color, and to accent the green - LOVE the effect it gave! Die cut that panel with an Avery Elle die, and mounted on some pattern paper by Glitz Designs with a twist of coordinating jute twine. Finished off with a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Next up, I did some tone on tone stamping with the cute little shamrock - a fun nod to St. Patrick's Day!

I stamped a random pattern, then in coordinating ink stamped my sentiment on a strip trimmed to fit at an angle. Added some glitter ribbon behind, a few large gold sequins, and then mounted at a jaunty angle on a white cardbase.

And finally, I just couldn't resist some watercolors in there either! 

I stamped the flowers in a random cluster on two corners of a panel of watercolor paper, then watercolored and added some ink splatters. Mounted on a green cardbase, and added some Stickles to the center of the flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day! 

A Latte Love with Jo

Here are some Valentine LOVE from Jo!  Take a look at these projects!

It's Monday! Jo here, wishing everyone's week starts off beautifully! I was in the mood to create more Valentine's/Lovey dovey themed projects =)

I made two cards and a cute little goodie bag using the A Latte Love stamp set...again =)

Project 1: Be Mine

Something's missing here...it's the second "e" on Bee. I had used the Bees on my previous projects, so I masked off the "e" and had the sentiment read "Be Mine". I used kraft cs for the base of the card, die cut a heart and used potty people wood veneers. Simple.

Project 2: Stuck on You

For this goodie bag, I used the sentiment "Stuck on You" and the bandaid images. I stamped the bandaid onto the cork clothespin and also on pattern paper, that I then fussy cut out. I used smaller versions of the potty people wood veneers and several heart die cuts . 

Project 3: Miss You...a latte

For my last project, I made an A2 card. The sentiment "Miss You...a latte" and the lattes are from the stamp set. The images are lightly colored with my Copic Markers. I masked off the steam image from the lattes. Again I used potty people wood veneers and coordinating pattern paper. How awesome that they were a perfect fit to lay over the images!

I hope you enjoyed all three projects. I really love how all of these coordinate. I really got a lot out of this stamp set and I know that you will too.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your week!
