Today is the first ever Waltzingmouse Customer Blog Hop! We have about fifty wonderful crafters participating, so grab a cup of tea (or coffee!) and join in the hop!
To start at the beginning of the hop, go to the
Waltzingmouse Blog.
When I signed up for the hop, I didn't think about the theme and what Waltzingmouse stamps I had in my stash. With the theme being "Spring", I had to do some creative thinking! I took out my favorite set, Sewing Box Christmas, and decided there were definitely things that could be used for Spring. Nothing like taking cold and wintry, to warm and sunny!! I think that was the intent of the theme anyway. We have all had such a unusual winter and if you are like me, wishing for Spring has been a daily occurrence!
So onto my tag card...
I stamped the tree with Green Galore and then set out stamping the little ornaments in all the colors of spring. (Pixie Pink, Bashful Blue, Lavender Lace, Only Orange and YoYo Yellow). They were cut out with a 3/4" circle punch and placed randomly on the tree. Definitely need some springtime sparkle, so each got a rhinestone in the middle.
The heart was stamped with Pixie Pink, cut out and placed on top of the tree container. The entire tree is cut out using the Mega Curved Rectangles from Spellbinders and sponged around the edges with Lavender Lace while still in the die. I used this weeks
CPS Sketch #155 for the layout.The sentiment is computer generated. A springtime green ribbon treatment finishes the card.
