Bright and Sunny Banner

We made this banner at our April Club meeting.It's cheerful and fun, and it's non-holiday--so it can be left up for spring and summer!

The center piece is cut with the largest framelit in Apothecary Accents from Champagne Glimmer paper, with a 3-layer flower cut from the Spiral Flower die in Pool Party, Strawberry Slush, and Daffodil Delight.

The yellow pennants are cut with the largest framelit from the Pennant set out of Quatrefancy Specialty DSP. The scallop circle is also from that DSP, cut with the Perfect Pennant die. The flower is made with tissue paper cut with the Blossom Punch, with a Champagne Glimmer Paper center and a Large Pearl.

The triangle pieces are cut with the Perfect Pennants die out of Quatrefancy DSP. The sentiments are from the set Perfect Pennants (confusing, no?), stamped in Strawberry Slush on Daffodil Delight cs cut with the Pennant Framelits.

The blue pieces are cut with the largest Pennant Framelit from Epic Day DSP. The Happy Watercolor Washi makes the gold stripes, and the bows are made with the Envelope Punch board out of Strawberry Slush DSP (2013-15 In Color Stack).





All of these Designer Series Papers are retiring, so get them while you can! The Perfect Pennants Bigz die is also retiring (not the framelits).

A tisket, a tasket, a chocolate egg basket

We made these at Club in March--early enough to get them made for gifts! The chocolate eggs are from Costco, and the bases are made from three Spiral Flower diecuts. We twisted the flowers together, then cut out enough of the center for the egg to fit. A little bit of hot glue secures everything for a super cute spring gift!

Eggcellent!

When I first looked through the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack, I thought several of them looked just like Easter eggs! We made this quick card at our March Club meeting. It was easy and fun, and makes a great project for this month!

Reflections on Watercolor Wednesday

You're probably wondering if I'll EVER run out of these watercolor background cards. Possibly not. Ha!

The card in the foreground was masked before stamping the background. I like the effect! This is my favorite stamp in the Wetlands set--I love the reflection, and I didn't have to do any extra work!
