Happy Spring?!? Sneak Peek


Too soon for you?  Well, I think I have it.  Spring fever that is.  Ahhh….so nice outside it’s hard to sit still.   I don’t know about you, but when spring starts to blossom I have a whole change over that occurs in my studio.  I still have some Christmas paper out, and a little Valentines, but now’s the time to put it away to begin getting ready for a new season.  Yay!!  So I guess this fever comes just in time for new spring stamps and such!!  Well, if you are easily enabled, you might want to look away – today I’m using some new Our Daily Bread Designs stamps.  This is a peek of what’s coming at the beginning of the month – spring stamps!!  Okay, I can hear you saying that you’ve never seen that die cut before – well, you haven’t.  It’s a new custom die from Our Daily Bread Designs – you’ll be seeing more of it in the coming month.  I’ve paired it with Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.

The Happy Spring sentiment comes from a set called Daffodil Tag Set and the Daffodils come from a set called Daffodil Corner – available on March 1st.  What a burst of yellow, hunh?  I tied the tiny bows with my peg bow maker so that I could get them all the same size.  Wow, this little thing has come in handy!!  If felt great to get out the watercolors and paint these pretty daffodils.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Daffodil Tag Set, Daffodil Corner Set
Paper: Bazzill, K & Co.
Ink
: Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossing Powder, Distress Inks and Reinkers
Accessories: Our Daily Bread Designs – Custom Label,  Spellbinders Ribbon Banners,  Ribbon, Zva Creative Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping in today.  I’m catching my breath and playing around with more tutorials to come soon!!

    Good Morning Becca,
    I love your spring card, it is so bright and cheery. It makes me feel like I want to outside and plant my garden and tend to my flowers…however, we still have snow on the ground, so that is not going to happen any time soon. That does not stop me from enjoying your beautiful card and dream of what is to come.ReplyCancel

  • Pam B.February 22, 2011 - 3:33 pm

    Awwww, it looks like we all have Spring Fever. I’m so ready, unfortunately in Florida we don’t have a very long Spring, summer comes fast and with that comes hot, muggy steamy weather. But for all you up North, I know your ready to bypass all those snowstorms. You have experienced some awful blizzard type of weather this year.

    Becca, love your card. As always another beautiful handmade card. Daffodils are always so pretty when they bloom. HAPPY SPRING TO ALL :) :)ReplyCancel

  • Naomi ArmentaFebruary 22, 2011 - 3:36 pm

  • sandi ackermanFebruary 22, 2011 - 3:44 pm

    Your colors are gorgeous. Thanks. We have snow surrounding us so a bit of flowers is always nice. I would like to learn how to incorporate the coloring into my stamping. Yours look very smooth.ReplyCancel

  • Rachel BrooksFebruary 22, 2011 - 3:59 pm

    I have daffodills up along the edge of the house under the overhang. They’ve been up for over a month. Just hope this cold snap doesn’t end their thoughts about blooming! Oove these bright sunny days and your card just lifts one’s spirits right up!ReplyCancel

  • Nancy FlecknellFebruary 22, 2011 - 4:33 pm

    I love love love spring and can’t wait to see my garden flowers popping up!
    Love your card too! It’s lovely as always!ReplyCancel

    EEEK — yet “another” die to die for and I imagine I’ll be wanting several many more than I’m ever able to purchase — you gals and your new dies are killin’ me!!! This is definitely a fabulous one too!!!

    LOVE your colors, Becca, how you’ve layered the die cuts and your fun ZVA Pearls with just a larger yellow one every so often — GORGEOUS!!!ReplyCancel

  • Barbara AKA GardenladyFebruary 22, 2011 - 5:31 pm

    Becca this card makes me smile and looking forward to spring. Today here in Oklahoma the sun is shining and no clouds in the sky! It started out chilly but has warmed up real nice. My green is coming up on my daffodils and hyacinths so enjoyed this card thinking of warmer days and green grass.

    On those angel pins you shared the instructions on. I took that earring back and turned it around and pushed it up inside the cone shaped bead and it held all them together at the top without them sliding down. Of course I then had another one at the bottom to hold the pin on a card or whatever you were using it for. Just thought I would share that info.

    Spring hugs and have a blessed day!ReplyCancel

  • Janet CastleFebruary 22, 2011 - 6:23 pm

    It’s not too soon. Spring can’t come soon enough. I love Spring flowers. These daffodils are fabulous!ReplyCancel

  • JaneyFebruary 22, 2011 - 8:30 pm

    Last week we were teased with Spring-like temps and sunshine and all but the huge mounds of snow had melted. Then Sunday night – ‘thundersnow’ as Mike on the Weather channel has coined it….and then sleet and finally by Monday afternoon – huge amounts of snow – 6″ in about 2 hours. It’s Indiana – this is what we expect.

    So, I love your card today – sunny colors, Spring flowers, just beautiful, Becca!

    Thanks fo sharing with us.

  • RufusFebruary 22, 2011 - 11:16 pm

    Gorgeous! Yes , I think that Spring has finally come to Fl. Only problem with that is so has the pollen! May have to add that set and the die to the want list, which never seems to get any shorter!

  • Marcie SmithFebruary 22, 2011 - 11:22 pm

    This card definitely welcomes spring. We are having some wonderful weather right now also, but there is another rain storm due to reach us Thursday- Sunday. I have been spending my mornings spring cleaning our yard. It just feels so wonderful to be able to actually work out there in this gorgeous weather. Our nights have been very cold though. I definitely have spring fever. Beautiful card Becca. These stamps would make lovely Easter cards.

    Beautiful card, so springlike! I bought some potted daffodils in the grocery store and they have been blossoming and are oh, so pretty! This is one of my favorite spring flowers. Your card is so colorful, and what a neat shape for the custom die! I will have to watch out for this release. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • EileenFebruary 23, 2011 - 6:37 am

    I love Springtime! and your card says it all…..very fresh and lovely colours.
    For me, Spring is the time for new beginnings more than any other time of the year…..it is definately my most favoured season.

    Take care LOL EileenReplyCancel

  • Jeanielou KaufmanFebruary 23, 2011 - 8:45 am

    As I have said so many times…your work is so spetacular and so refreshing to see. I love the uplift I get from everyday’s creation. This spring one just blows me out of the water. I do love spring as my favorite season. A new beginning and the shedding of all old gloomy, dark and cold things, bringing forth a bright, warm cuddly feeling of better things to come. Aren’t we all so blessed?
    Have yourself a week in the Lord.
    Hugs, JeanielouReplyCancel

  • Sheila - UKFebruary 23, 2011 - 8:52 am

    Sooo beautiful Becca and sprinlike too. Thr daffodil is one of my favourite flowers and is the Welsh National flower and as I am born and bred in Wales, UK then it just had to be. It is also the flower that we have for our Patron Saint’s Day which is St. Davd Day, March 1st. So it was so lovely to see this card today even though it’s a week early.

    Love Sheila xxReplyCancel

  • Evette K. CiampoFebruary 23, 2011 - 9:15 am

    beautiful. Spring can never come too soon. I meant to mention the other day (or maybe I did, can’t remember), but I watched your tut on the bow maker. Ive never used one, but it definitely looked like a good idea. So i guess i should work my way in to my basement and put one together… Maybe on my way down to get my coffee.ReplyCancel
