Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop "Spring Fling"

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's "Spring Fling" Blog Hop! It won't be long before those cute little crocuses pop up.  Hang in there!

If you've come here by way of  Barbara, you're in the right place!  If you want to start from the beginning, go the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog and find out how you can win one of FIVE wonderful prizes.  You don't want to miss any of the designers' gorgeous designs!

  My first card uses the stamp set Flower Vases (#265), Waterfall glitter and SNS cardstock, Hurricane and Tickled Pink.  The details on the card take a little bit of time, but well worth it for that special friend.  This would be a great easel card, too, with a few rows of the punched grass on the bottom layer. For complete directions, click here.

My second card uses the set Spring Swirl (#425), the new embossing powder, Cerulean Star (for the vase and edge of oval die) and lots of other wonderful Sparkle and Sprinkle products.  The tulips too are made with sparkly embossing powders, Tequila Sunrise, Winter Berry, and Bullfrog.  For a complete list and directions, click here.The color combination reminds us of the colors that will be blooming outdoors soon!

Thanks for visiting and now hop on over to Karin for more inspiration! Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog to become eligible for one of the prizes! There are 2 grand prizes and 3 "mystery" prizes attached to 3 of the designers' blogs.
