Try It Tuesday #10 - Spring Bringer

Hi all for another Whimsy Try It Out Tuesday.  My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones or were injured in yesterday's tragic events in Boston.  It is sad that there are people in this world that will harm innocent people for some unknown reasoning in their sick minds.

On a very much lighter note.  I have a little card today to bring some Spring happiness into your life. Since we are all so ready for Spring to happen for real, I've created a card to  (shove, kick, boot)....ummmm, help, it along using Spring Bringer, a Wee Stamp designed by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy Stamps. Isn't she adorable??!!

Supplies used:   Spring Bringer; Xpress It Blending Card, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Designer Papers by Michele R Designs for Whimsy Stamps, Copic Markers:  Skin: R00, E11, R20   Hair:  E30, E34, E35  Wings:  RV52, RV0000  Clothing:  RV0000, RV10, RV63, RV66, RV69  G24,  Flowers:  Y17, RV63, RV66,  Sakura Glitter Pen, Glossy Accents (wings), SU small and large Butterfly punch, SU Colored card stock, EK Success border punch, Sewing Machine (huh!!??) and flowers from stash.

Inside my card,  I've added a special surprise - Butterflies.  








LOTS of Twirling Butterflies.
The tutorial for the Twirling effect can be found at SCS where there is a Video which can give you the visual effect.  My card finished is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". The bulk of the inside will probably require a box envelope to send and extra postage.  Did I have fun playing??!!  Sure did, it was fun to construct - and that's why I enjoy card making - the challenge and seeing the final results. Giggles can often be heard coming from my Craft Room....... which send my dogs into a tilted head pose.....  (ok, their mommy is a bit strange).

Additional Supplies used for inside:  Designer Papers by Michele R Designs, SU Butterfly punches, unknown stamp, Skewer (painted white and cut to size), string and rhinestones......Oh, almost forgot -- paper beads.

I really have to add that I absolutely love the Designer Papers by Michele R Designs, which until recently were only available to me through digital format.  Our LSS started to carry them and they are absolutely gorgeous and are a  6"x 6" size - perfect for cards.  She has added glossy elements to the paper that are stunning.  I almost hated to cut into them.  Absolutely Beautiful!!

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
Whimsy Inspirations - Pretty in Pink
Bearly Mine - Spring flowers
Totally Gorjuss # 179 - Spring Shades

Until next time - Stamp up a Storm, ink up a wish, and send it on to someone to make their day.

Whimsy "Try It Tuesday" 7 - Tri Shutter Card

Hi all,  Well this is a duplicate of the post below because blogger will not allow me to update my editing. 
Today, my card is a Tri Shutter Card using a stamp set called Spring Tulips, a stamp set of 8 from Momas Collection. 

 










1.  Start with a piece of card stock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.
2.  Along the top and bottom long edge, measure in 3/4" and draw a line from the 2" to 7" mark.  (Cut on this line).
3. Rotate your card 90 degrees and score between the cut lines @ 2", 3", 6" and 7".
4. Score at 4.25" and 6.25 on space on the outer edge of cut line.  The (m) and (v) indicate mountain and valley fold).
I chose to cut a mat from Chocolate Chip and DP (Magnolia Spring Blossom, from Michele R Designs) to embellish the card.  I also cut an image of Tulips and matted it with Pink.  The matted and colored image was centered between the arms of the opening.   A matted sentiment was popped in behind the image.  Three bows were colored, cut out and used to embellish the back flap. Once glued down glossy accents was applied on top.
   The Flower Lace was sponged with pink and added to the bottom of the card.
Materials used: Cardstock:  SU Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, White Xpress It blending card. Memento Tuxedo Black ink,  Copic Markers:  R81, R83, R85, YG91, YG93, YG25.  Glossy Accents, Flower Lace from stash, shaped die. 
Hoping this makes sense to you, and I hope you will try a tri shutter card to give away to make someone's day.
