Amazing Springtime Foil

Good morning crafters.  Hope your week is off to a good start.  Mine certainly is.  Yesterday was such a great day.  The sun was shining, the temperature outside was perfect for yard work.  I started cleaning my flower beds.  Spring is truly here!

Today I am sharing three quick cards made with Stampin' Up!'s amazing new Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

The first card was a thank you card I sent to Angela, one of my new customers.  She is new to card making and scrapbooking so I am excited to help her along her crafting journey.  Welcome Angela!






Using the same measurements, I made the second card for my Mom's 88th Birthday last week.  However this time I added ombre ribbon, fussy cut one flower from the DSP and colored with matching Stampin' Write Markers.  I put the sentiment (Stampin' Up!'s Happy Birthday Thinlits Die) on the inside of the card.


Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of the inside before I mailed the card to Mom.  Opps!

This final card was my interpretation of Glitter Queens Card Sketch # 21.  Thanks Dawn for such a great sketch.  All of the cards in today's post are based on that sketch which you can find here.  I added Copper Metallic Thread, Vellum Card Stock, a sentiment from Sale-A-Bration, Celebrate You Thinlits Dies and Copper Embossing Powder for the "You're" sentiment.  Yes, I did cut my stamp apart! I do this frequently and find it makes my stamp sets more versatile.

Catch Up With The Paper Maven

Happy Saturday everyone and welcome to The Paper Maven.

After a few months off, I am back.  So much has happened since my last post!

The holidays came; my time was consumed with baking, shopping, wrapping and preparing food.

I retired after a long career in Higher Education. WOO HOO!

I vacationed in winter wonderland with my husband, brother and sister-in- law (Keene, New York). Left is my fav picture from this vacation.

I visited my parents and daughter's family n Syracuse, New York .

I just returned from Florida on Monday (visiting another daughter and her children).

All of this travel was awesome; however I was quite homesick.  I am so glad to be home.

Hopefully, I will be back into my normal routine next week.

Check back next Tuesday and Thursday to see two great cards I will be sharing.

Soon (most likely Saturday) I will be  sharing my recipe for awesome cinnamon buns I am making for Easter next weekend.

Thanks for stopping by today.
