5 cards in a row

Trace Geworsky

My blog title is pretty cheesy, but as Manitoba is finally welcoming our first sign of spring weather, the term 5 ducks in a row came to mind, and since i only made cards for this post..well..im sure you get the picture;

Im not a huge card maker, as I prefer layouts and mini albums, so this month I wanted to try something different and only go with cards.

I tend to keep my card style rather simple, and my trend right now is using old, dictionary paper with kraft cardstock.

Card #1 “we”

supplies used: stamps: my Stamp BOX: she says-he says, bazzill kraft cardstock,patterned paper: October afternoon & Making Memories,square punch:EK Success,flower:Prima,ribbon: Bazzill,Button & dictionary paper: Misc,pop dots: EK Success,ink: Ranger

***I wanted some sort of a grid design on the inside of the card, so I traded a flower for the 6th square of patterned paper.

I simply stamped the title on one square, while adhering 2 stamped figurines to the top of the card, using pop dots.

CARD #2 “love has bloomed”

supplies used: alpha stamps:  my Stamp BOX-lots of dots, flower stamps: my Stamp BOX- He loves me..., circle stamps: seal it!, bazzill kraft cardstock,bling:Prima,ink:Tim Holtz,fiskars treading water punch,pop dots:EK Success

I stamped each flower petal onto dictionary paper, and then trimmed around the images. I stamped 3 different sizes of circles, and layered them using pop dots, for the flower center.

CARD #3 “spring”

supplies used:alpha stamps: my Stamp BOX-Splash me a little!, flower stamps: funky flowers, bazzill cardstock, Patterned paper: Making memories, glue pad: Tsukinenko, glitter:Doodlebug design inc, ink:Ranger

CARD #4 “love”

stamps: my Stamp BOX- she says-he says, birthday balloons, kraft bazzill cardtsock, patterned paper: Making Memories, fiskars treading water punch, pop dots: EK Success, ink:Stampin up & Ranger

I tore out a journaling piece of paper to use as the matt for my card, and then stamped the larger figurines onto the paper..from there, I built the card around those elements.

CARD #5 “hugs and kisses”

supplies used: stamps: my Stamp BOX-she says-he says, bazzill cardstock, prima packaging, bling:Prima, ink:Tim Holtz, ribbon: misc

I loved the packaging that came with the Prima bling, so i used it for my card. Not wanting to compete with the busy polka dot paper, I stamped the small figurines along the sides of the card.
