Stampin' Pink Rose

The Geese Are Back

Pamela April 18, 2017 April 17, 2017Birthday

I walk regularly around a lake and the geese have returned to Iowa. It is wonderful see them and we are hoping for babies later this spring. So with the Stampin’ Up! Wetlands retiring, I thought it would great to make some cards with this stamp set. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you are receiving another card made with this set. I will truly miss this stamp set.

Tips and Tricks

Color: With spectacular sunrises and sunsets, it makes a good background.

Stamp Set: Oh so sad to loose our only goose stamp set……

Wetlands

Wetlands Clear-Mount Stamp Set

Ink: Just think of what colors are the sunrises and sunsets.

Paper: One of the papers used here is retiring and it will be missed. I think Tip Top Taupe is a great neutral to turn to when wanting a suttle background.

Accessories: The only thing needed is your trimmer which is a basic requirement.

Bunny + Carrots

I trust everyone had a great Easter. I know it was a busy one for a lot of us, but it time to focus on new card ideas. I pulled into the driveaway from church yesterday and saw a bunny rabbit in my yard. I thought this is a perfect sign of spring and I have a great card to get started. So here is my bunny with his favorite food…… carrots. I hope he stays out of my garden.

These Stampin’ Up! products are going to retired. Oh, so sad! The Basket Brunch is not just for Easter, but all different occasions. Earlier this month for the Blog Hop, I did a Mother’s Day card using the Basket Builder with its’ framelit. Here is a spring card that is so easy to make.

Tips and Tricks

Color: Pumpkin Pie with Cucumber Crush is a must for the carrots. Then it is a matter of what will compliment the carrots and not over power it. Elegant Eggplant came to my rescue. I have seen numerous baskets in purple. Not all baskets need to be brown.

Stamp Set: Just about everything you need is in this card with the exception of the words. This is where Circle of Spring is used. Remeber you save 10% when you bundle.

As I said in the video this is a new way to shoot the video. I realize I need to turn the card around for you to see it. So this upside down, but think it shot okay otherwise. Please give me a comment about these video. I can always go back to the old way, but this way you get a close up.

I am using up the retiring Oh So Succulent paper. Your measurements are 5 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of card stock. Mine is Sweet Sugarplum. It is scored at 1 1/2″. 3″, 5 1/2″, and 8″. Your panels are #1( 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″)print, #2 no panel added, #3 ( 2 1/4″x 5 1/4″) print, #4 (2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″) white, #5 (2 1/2″x 5 1/4″)print. Decorate as you wish.
