March has arrived, which means that Spring is just around the corner. Join me as we hop along with the We Create Swing Into Spring Blog Hop to see amazing projects to inspire you to create for the new season and shake off the Winter Blues. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas for Spring.
When I think of Spring, I think of tulips and I chose to use the Timeless Tulips Bundle (item #153793) from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog to create this pretty card. For my color combination, I chose Grapefruit Grove, a retiring In Color, and combined it with Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz.
To create this card design, I chose Grapefruit Grove cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Grapefruit Grove cardstock that I embossed using the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder (item #151797) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, to add texture to the background.
The focal image was stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock die cut with the largest die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638). I stamped the stems and leaves from the Timeless Tulips stamp set with Pear Pizzazz Classic ink onto the label, allowing room for the tulip flowers. I stamped the largest tulip image with Grapefruit Grove Classic ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I stamped the smaller tulip images onto the scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock with Daffodil Delight Classic ink and fussy cut them out with Paper Snips. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the largest tulip to the center stem and added the smaller tulips using Snail Adhesive to the other two stems.
To assemble the card, I added a piece of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim (item #149593) across the middle of the embossed Grapefruit Grove layer and attached the focal layer over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the embossed Grapefruit Grove layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the sentiment, I stamped the image with Pear Pizzazz Classic ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the smallest die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and added it to a label die cut with the next largest die from Grapefruit Grove cardstock. I attached the sentiment label to the focal label over the stems and leaves at the bottom of the focal image, using Stampin' Dimensionals. To add a little bling, I added the small Basic Rhinestones to the focal label and the sentiment label.
This pretty Spring card design would be suitable for a variety of occasions and could be created using different color combinations. Remember that the 2018-2020 In Colors will be retiring soon, so now is the best time to stock up on your favorite colors and products before they disappear.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to get excited about Spring and create your own projects to celebrate the new season. There are so many wonderful possibilities in the January-June Mini Catalog and 2019-2020 Annual Catalog to choose from.

Very nice - I love all the texture and depth on this card! It's really cool how the stems are stamped flat on the white cardstock, but the flowers are popped up and hanging over the edges. Thanks for sharing :-D
