Spring Catalog is here!

The Spring Catalog is here and I am so happy to share some new products with you.  The Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit made it really easy to make my card for today's post.

 

If you have a copy of the catalog, the kit is on page 18, and it shows many creative ways to use it. I decided to use less of the precut flower pieces than they show in the samples, and used two of the colors instead.  This way I get a pretty card with many more of the precut flower pieces left over for another project.

 

My card base of Very Vanilla card stock was embossed with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder (a carry over item from the Holiday Mini Catalog), before I layered my pieces from the kit, and I used Early Espresso ink to stamp my sentiment.  Otherwise, everything else you see came from the kit, so it really doesn't get much easier to get creative.

 

The following were used:

Card Stock:  Very Vanilla #101650

Ink:  Early Espresso #126974

Tools: Paper Piercing Tool #126189, Stampin' Pierce Mat #126199

Designer Kit:  Pop-Up Posies #131395 (Spring Mini Catalog)

Note:  Page 36 of the  Spring Catalog shows you the items from the holiday catalog that are still available.
