Spring has Sprung!


Happy Sunday everyone! I looked out the window this morning and the trees were all an explosion of blooms. It inspired me to make this fresh clean Springtime card using digi stamps from The Cutting Cafe. Trees seem to be all the rage on the cardmaking front so I chose this especially stylish one from the Trees in a Row Printable Stamp set. This set comes with 6 different rows of trees and 12 different sentiments so it's extremely versatile and oh so afforable. I used my Printmaster program to clip out the trees and the sentiment (also included in the set) and resized and colored them individually to fit an A2 size card. Regina has instructions on how to do this on the Cafe site. Then I printed the dotty background using the Colored Mini Polka Dot Background set which comes with 12 different colors already done for you. WooHoo! Aren't you ALWAYS looking for something dotty? Anyway, this card came together so quickly and easily. That's what I LOVE about Regina's stamps. To finish I embossed the front of an A2 card with my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder, added a green mat, gingham ribbon, and mini buttons and Voila! So if you'd love to do a quick and easy but oh so beautiful card in MINUTES, check out all of the goodies available for download at The Cutting Cafe.

  15. How adorable girlfriend! Yep! Spring has sprung is right, and we are still in winter.....I think these few sunny days have tricked all the plants into thinking it is time to bloom. My roses have buds on them, but your cute little card has buttons!!! How sweet is that.

    Hugz, xx
