CRUISE INTO SPRING!

This cute card was made with my friend Betty! I really like to make cads that you get to color and use very different stamps.  The sentiment banner  really makes the card fun!  I think this was a digital and we colored it and cut it out, then placed it on our card with dimensional pop dots. The grass was torn colored card stock, then iced with green sponge or dauber with green ink. The sky is designer paper with a small pattern in it.  I think she is on her way to a stamp retreat! 

Button Tree

This tree can be designed with buttons for any season. I cut the tree trunk out of embossed card stock. You can use any embossing that gives the trunk some dimension, and make your trunk any size you like.  I punched with my circle punch to make the colored leaves and then added buttons on the top.  There are many different ways to create your tree. It could be butterflies, flowers or even
Easter eggs!  Go for it and create a new tree for your next card please be sure to send me a picture to share!  Thanks debsegler@gmail.com

Spring Flower Layers

Here is the Spring layer card.  These are just so impressive and really easy to make.  The trick is simple, just stamp your images first.  Your get the best results when you use at least two colors and two images.    
You cut three sizes  and the best way to cut is to use dies.  Then you back the cuts in colored paper and layer them on top of each other matching up the designs .  I hope to make one at my next stamp retreat with my stamp friends! Have fun! Please send me a picture debsegler@gmail.com

Layers But Nott Cake!

This layer technique is one i like to go back to when I need a different look for a card.  This works with any stamp that you like to use, and you can add stickles to give it a POP of color.  You stamp your images all at the same time, then cut them in three sizes and back with a colored card stock. Then add the designs to the colored paper and match the designs so that it looks like they are all together again.  This one is Christmas but i really wanted you to see t he technique.  I will add a Spring layers next.

THREE SPRING BIRDS

These three birds are so cute and very fun to add to any card.  This is a great way to give your card a window look by dividing it with ribbon. The squares are punched out of designer papers that coordinate with the embossed card background.  The card is then layered on a cream colored card stock to give it more dimension and color accent.  I hope you get some energy today and go make one card to brighten your day! Please brighten mine by emailing me a sample! Send to debsegler@gmail.com
