The next batch of cards were created for the Spring Fling event that took place at the antique store where I have a booth.  For the event I put together a giveaway that included a batch of handmade spring cards along with other spring themed vintage items.

I’ve used the Spring Market collection kit before and knew that the patterns and prints would be perfect for a set of spring cards.  I choose the Stampendous True Friends stamp set as the flower related sentiments worked well with the theme and were general enough to use for mulitple occasions.

For the first card I used my favorite paper from the collection (the rain boot and flower bouquets) paired that with a peachy-pink pattern for the background.  For some texture and dimension, I added a chiffon ribbon around the panel.  I then punched a green scallop border for matting on one side of the bouquet panel and used a gold Love from Lizi peel-off for the other side.  The sentiment was stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and die cut using a Spellbinders label die set.  Everything was then matted on a piece of kraft cardstock.

For the second card I used a fun garden tool print as the background.  A Spellbinders border die was used to create the large scallop border from a wood grain print which I added to the top and bottom edges of background.  I then tied a piece of white chiffon ribbon around the panel.  I used the same ink to stamp the sentiment and cut it out using a Spellbinders oval die.  Everything was then matted with brown cardstock.

The next card used a small strip of the peachy-pink paper and more of the wood grain print paper for the scallop detail.  I used another floral print from the collection kit for the large panel on the card.  More chiffon ribbon was tied around the panel before it and the sentiment were matted using brown cardstock.

The last card uses a larger floral print for the main panel.  A small strip of the peachy-pink paper was punched using a Fiskars scallop border punch.  A peach Love from Lizi peel-off was added along the top edge of the floral print panel.  The sentiment was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink and then cut into a banner shape.  Everything was matted on black cardstock.  For dimension a floral die set and pearls were used to create the flower embellishments.

I liked how the cards turned out and they fit the Spring Fling theme perfectly.
