First is this cute Swirly Bird card! I won't tell you how long it took me to get all those colors embedded behind the black swirl! It's not hard - just time consuming to run all the different colors through the framelit. But I think it was worth it! The sentiment comes from Sunshine Sayings - a great stamp set for putting together sentiments.
What is spring without flying a kite? How many years has it been since you have run with a kite coaxing it to stay up in the air? I can't count the years! Plus I was never very good - or patient to fly a kite! I remember beach days when my kids were young and they would get their daddy to fly the kite with them - not me!!
This card also uses the Swirly Bird stamp and framelits as well as Layering Love. I just love the font and the words in this set! For a little sparkle, I adhered a few sequins.
Finally, I have a cute little box (that I CASE-d from a UK demonstrator) that I made using Sale-A-Bration products. I made the box with the Inside the Line DSP and made a belly band around it using the Sale-A-Bration Glimmer Paper (Sweet Sugarplum.) I die cut the bee from Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper also to coordinate with the little bee on the DSP. The box was super easy to make and only takes a few minutes. Here are the directions if you want to make one: It should hold a few small chocolates for a sweet little treat.
Cut your DSP to 6" x 12" (so you can make 2 from one sheet of paper)
Score on the long side at - 2, 5, 7, and 10"
Score on the short side at - 2" and 4"
That's it!

Great cards, Sharon. I love using the Sunshine Sayings stamp set! You put me in the mood for spring!
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects are great! It was definitely worth the time to run the framelit through the Big Shot multiple times to get the colors to layer in the black. It really stands out!
