Yes, I'm wishing for "A Little Bit of Spring" so I pulled out this new set in the Spring Mini to get me started! I don't know about you, but even though it is still 10 days until Valentine's Day, I'm a little TIRED of making Valentine cards! Are you? So, since we are supposed to get up to 3" of snow today AND I have a downline meeting to attend tonight….I'm REALLY wishing for "A Little Bit of Spring".
I've also been hoping that Stampin' Up! would come up with a tree that you could hang things from…sort of like Season of Friendship. This tree is LITTLE and the images are little, but I still think it is fun!
Here are the details:
- The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Very Vanilla, folded in half, then embossed on the top half with the Honeycomb folder.
- Pink Pirouette is cut to 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and layered on top with 3 x 3 piece of Tea for Two Designer Paper.
- I wrapped the Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine around twice and tied a bow, then popped up on top of the base card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Bashful Blue is cut to 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 to layer over the DSP. I stamped Easter wishes with Early Espresso Ink.
- The tree is stamped with Early Espresso (and omit stamped with Not Quite Navy on the pot) on a 1 1/2 x 2 piece of Very Vanilla, then colored the leaves with Lucky Limeade Marker.
- I stamped the eggs on scrap Very Vanilla, colored them with Markers, then cut them out and adhered to the tree with Mini Glue Dots.
- I lightly colored in the tree trunk with Early Espresso marker and added grass with the Lucky Limeade Marker along the bottom.
- The tree piece is layered on 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 of Pink Pirouette cardstock and popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, I rounded the bottom edges of the card with the Corner Rounder.
Isn't that a fun little image??? I can't wait to play with this tree some more!
