Introducing Happy Spring (with a free card kit by Jessica Fick)

Nothing says spring like spending time in the local greenhouse choosing starter plants and seeds for the long summer ahead. I am looking forward to trying my luck at my own small garden this summer and now is the time to start planning.



The new stamp set, Happy Spring, will put you in the mood for digging with it's adorable gardening images and sweet greetings of friendship.

Perfect for paper piecing, these images can be used to create cards, scrapbook pages, even pretty little tags to hang off of bouquets of flowers and baskets of vegetables that you give as gifts to neighbors and friends.



Complete with a beautiful card kit and instructions created by Jessica Fick, you will love to recreate her ideas or come up with ideas of your own using the vibrant supplies included.

Many of you have requested that the card stock and patterned paper in Jessica's kits be sent as full sheets so you can have more creative options. This kit will give you those options to adjust the projects as you see fit or copy them exactly according to the provided instructions.

Introducing By Your Side by Asela Hopkins

By Your Side is one of those stamp sets that you look at once and say, oh, I've gotta' have that set! The words of encouragement along with the beautiful floral and koi fish images will leave you breathless.



I love lilies, every single kind of lily!! But one of my favorites are the tiger lilies with the spots. So, I decided to convert these lilies into spotted tiger lilies using Copic Markers and one Prismacolor marker. (You can use a copic but I wanted something with a finer tip. You can also use a sharpie or bic marker too!)



The actual image from this set has no spots. I added them myself. I love that because I can make many different styles of lillies so easily with this set. And they are large and easy to cut out so you can create a whole garden quickly and easily!



You will love the words of encouragement in this set along with the beautiful font style! Complete with bible verses, this sets makes the perfect addition to every collection.

And check out that beautiful BLUE card stock!!
(It matches the Basic Grey Sugar rush patterned paper perfectly!) That's another new Pure Luxury card stock color being released this month called Little Boy Blue. (Look for a separate post with color comparisons later in the week.)

A Video for You!
Now, I am NO expert at coloring with Copic markers, but I don't think you have to be to get rich vibrant color from these markers. In this short video, I will show you how I colored my flowers and turned them into spotted tiger lillies.
