Yay! Spring finally here??? or is it only here for a day??

Finally a day of sunshine in Calgary!  It was just a nice change from all the snow and white that I've been seeing.  I better enjoy this, as it's so impossible to predict tomorrow's weather here.  I think that it was snowing here yesterday??? but today, it's all gone!

Anyway, feeling very springish today, I chose a spring file that I was going to work with, and decided to make two totally different cards.   I picked the tulips from the Organic Spring Flowers SVG Collection.


The paper I chose was from the Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety collection. 


Tulips up-close and personal :)  The actual cut from SVGCuts was the blackout look of the tulip.  I cut that out, and layered another same tulip on top with foam stickers, but made a slit into the flower to make it look like petals.


The stamp here is from Technique Tuesday. I don't have a pic to show the grass, but it's actually two layers of grass (one mirror-image) layered on top with a foam tape.  It gives it the 3D feel!  The fence is Martha Stewart punch!

Here's the second card that I made.  It's rather simple, but simple is good, right???


The stamp is also from the same set from Technique Tuesday.  This card, I bunched up the tulips together and tied it with a ribbon :)


I added Ranger pearls to the petals...  not the greatest job, but it added a little "umph" to the card, I think :)

Anyway, are you guys all wondering about the upcoming SVGCuts collection(s) that coming out this week?  It is going to be amazing (well, it always is!) but I can rest assure you that it's going to be another week of fantastic files that you must have in your collection :)

  2. First- Your cards are beautiful! I think the Ranger pearls look great! 2nd- The weather in Canada sounds just like Iowa (I posted about it earlier tonight!). 3rd- I LOVE the flowers on your header and button. I tried to go through all of your posts to find out how you made them, but couldn't find anything. Did I miss it somewhere? And finally- your projects are absolutely amazing and such an inspiration! I am putting your button on my blog so my friends can see how awesome you are!

  4. Gorgeous Card Thienly! It did remind me of spring even if it was only for a day! After the amount of snow that fell today I hope Old Man Winter doesn't hang around too long!
