Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Tuesday Friends!! I hope you all are receiving more sunshine than we are here in Virginia.  It is so hard to believe it is Spring.  Our temperatures have been in the 50's to low 60's, windy and rainy.  Just kind of blah and makes you feel tired and lazy.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, I thought I would make a Mother's Day card incorporating this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD which is to use four letters from the word Spring to make a card.  Using the sets Happy Mother's Day and Mother's Day as well as the Quatrefoil Pattern Die from Our Daily Bread designs, I created a card to meet this challenge.

 Here are the letters and ingredients used:
S= Scallops, Silk, P= Pink, Poppy, R=Ribbon, I=Ink, N=Nestabilities, G=Green.

I apologize for the quality picture...I had an awful time photographing this card.

ODBD Stamps Used: Happy Mother's Day and Mother's Day
ODBD Dies Used:  Quatrefoil Pattern Die, Custom Odbd Recipe and Tags die 
Spellbinders Dies Used: Labels 4, Gold Labels Four and A2 Scalloped Borders One
Ink: Bridal Bouquet, Black, Copics

Happy Friday all!!! I hope everyone has had a great weekend and is ready for the weekend!! I know I sure am.  

Life has been crazy here in Virginia with the changes in schedule I have been going through but it sure helps to have had this beautiful weather that no matter how tired I am the sunny weather gives me a sunny disposition and more energy!! I thank God for the change in seasons and the miracles he has bestowed upon us with the new life in Spring!! Spring is my favoritie season as you see the flowers bud and open, plants sprout, leaves begin pop, and the changing colors!!

Today I am popping in to share a card that to me evokes some of the bright colors of Spring.

For my creation, I used the stamp sets Finch Collage and Hymn Collage recently released  at Our Daily Bread Designs. 

The image panel is embossed with Stampin Up Basket Weave since it reminds me of Aida Cloth and gives it a more vintage flair. The background is embossed with Darice Damask. Some of my image is cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

When I see this sentiment, I think of the verse "Look at the birds of the air.... your heavenly Father feeds them, aren't you much more valuable then they."  Matthew 6 :26.  

A great reminder to not worry but trust in God's provision.  A reminder I need often!!!!
Here is a photo of the stamp sets used:

Hello Friends!! I hope you are all enjoying a nice spring day wherever you are.  It seems we skipped from winter to summer this year.  This week has been in the high 80's and very high humidity.  I am not complaining since that has made the trees bloom....the grass turn greener...IT LOOKS Like SPRING!!!!

Today I wanted to share two cards with a nice spring/summer image.

Spring is on it's way so I just had to make a Springy Hyacinth Birthday card!! I just love the Basic Grey Lucille so I used that as my inspiration for the colors.  The sketch is SC431 from Splitcoast Stampers for yesterday.



The stamps I used are the Our Daily Bread Designs Hyacinth and the coordinating Labels 26 dies from Spellbinders .

I love to sew on my cards but have not sewn as much lately since I had to get a new sewing machine after we moved and it just does not work like my old one. I was able to sew on this card!!! Woo hoo!!

For my second creation I used Romantic Floral and Morning Glory from Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD). The background is embossed with Stampin Up Blossoms and a Swiss Dots folder from Provocraft.




The ODBD Romantic Floral Border is cut out with a Labels 26 Spellbinders die.  I just love these dies and new stamps!! They are gorgeous and easy to make a card or project with the touch of elegance and they include flowers or a vintage flair!!

Here are some of the gorgeous stamps I used for my sets from Our Daily Bread Designs:
