Today, I'm stopping in to share my last two cards for my Guest Spot with The Rubber Cafe! The Creative Kit of the Month, Spring Is Here, will definitely get you in the mood for spring, whether you're still having winter weather or it already feels like summer!
I wanted to do something fun with the ribbon included in this month's Kit, so I decided to use each color on my first card. I covered my card base with the text patterned paper included in the Echo Park 6x6 paper pad. Then I used four pieces of double sided tape to adhere the ribbon to the card. I just folded each color of ribbon over accordion style and then used my sewing machine to stitch each strip down. I wanted to add a little bit more interest to the text paper, so I stamped the Welcome Spring sentiment in Black ink.
On my second card, I kept a White card base and stamped the cute bunny on one of the 6x6 papers from the Echo Park paper pad.After I stamped each of the bunnies, I fussy cut each one and added pop dots behind each one to give some dimension to the card. For the sentiment, I stamped Happy Easter across the center, using Yellow ink. And for a pop of color, I cut two strips of the striped paper from the Echo Park 6x6 paper pad and added it to the top and bottom of the card.Supplies:

Earlier this month, I shared that I would be the March Guest Designer for The Rubber Cafe! My first post was up on TRC Blog yesterday, and I wanted to stop in and share my projects with you here! I used the Creative Kit of the Month, Spring Is Here, to create my cards.On my first card, I worked with the Egg-stra Special stamp set from the Kit and a added a little bit of mixed media.I cut a piece of White cardstock and added it to the Yellow cardstock, that I cut for my card base. Then I used some Gelatos to create a cloud effect on the White cardstock. I wanted to have two colors put together for my stamped image, so I adhered two pieces from the Echo Park 6x6 paper pad together, and then stamped the cute birdie image and cut it out. Before placing the stamped image on the card, I used some of the Green ribbon across the card and then layered the stamped image over it, using some pop dots for dimension. Before stamping the "We Go Together Like The Birds and the Bees" sentiment, I added a little more color to the card using some watercolors.
I took a more clean and simple approach to my second card, using the Wishing You Will stamp set.I cut the Boot stamp apart and stamped each set of boots in a different color ink, on a Kraft card base. I used a Black ink pad to stamp the "Nobody Can Fill Your Boots Like You Do" sentiment three times, to go along with each set of boots. To finish the card, I punched circles from three different patterned papers from the Echo Park 6x6 paper pad, cut the circles in half, and then placed the different patterns back together on the card. And for the smaller circles, I used just a regular hole punch and punched circles from the same patterned papers.
I had so much fun creating both of these card with the Spring Is Here Kit!! Make sure you visit the Shop to check it out and see everything that is included for this month!
