Floral Friday Happy Spring Cards

Patterned paper by Making Memories and PiggyTales.com. The vellum is from my stash. The word “Spring “, was cut out using my Cricut. I did use some brads by Making Memories, a flower die cut by Sizzix, and a flower stamp by…maybe Hero Arts.

The Happy Stamp is by The Stamps of Life. I stamped off with the Happy stamp. I used Basic Grey on the card in the center. I cut a flower out of the patterned paper and it was a perfect swoop as the “spring” die cut. 

Hey Chicky card

This little chick and the flowers are stickers. I layered them onto a Making Memories chipboard shape/frame. The background is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug Swiss dot embossing folder. The rhinestones are from Want 2 Scrap. Thanks for looking.

Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe Blog Hop day 3

Today is Day #3 for the Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe blog hop. I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the different ways to use powdered chalk these past few days. Don't forget our challenge that runs for two weeks which is posted on Sundays. Winning some chalk at this blog hop could make you a contestant and give you the chance to win more chalks. 

Today's card is inspired by our upcoming Easter holiday. Stamps {eggs, bunny and sentiment} are by Stamp N Plus Scrap N. I colored in the eggs and bunny using Powdered chalk and paint. The background of the die cut under neath the bunny is paint and chalk where I turned white cardstock into the color I wanted to match this card. Die cuts and borders are by Spellbinders. Some cardstock and one of the DP is by Recollections. The pink border paper is by GCD and the eyelet by Scrapworks. 

Thanks for looking. Be sure to look at the specials going on at our chalk and stamp stores.

Stamp N Plus Scrap N offers 15 handcrafted unmounted rubber stamps on double sticky cushion for wood mounting in a 6in by 9in manila envelope. These stamps are old stock in good shape approximate retail value of $40 to $50. The only thing they may need is trimming. 15 images for Five Dollars or 45 images for Twelve Dollars WOW!!!!!

 We cannot guarantee there won't be any doubles if multiple envelopes are purchased as a bunch of images were thrown in a bin and then stuffed in envelopes. No doubles in individual envelopes.

Then if that wasn't enough, the Powdered Chalk Challenge Special is still going on where you can purchase 4 powdered chalks for $6.00 plus S and H. An exceptional value and an offer you should not let pass you by.

So now that you have stopped here from Barbara's blog head on over to Jennifer's blog. Be sure to leave a comment at each blog for your chance to win a set of chalks. If you get lost you can always go back to the Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe where you should also leave a comment.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Enjoy the hop.

Bird-day party

My mom bought me this stamp set by Layers of Color called birdday party. I've never had a stamp set by them before. I think they are nice and wanted to show you a card I made using it. 

For this card I just used the sentiment stamp from the set. It goes great with the embossing folder by Provo Craft. To get the embossed areas different colors I used Smooch ink by Clearsnap. I used different shades of green to give a shadow affect along with some dots of purple mixed in there. 

Thanks for looking.
