Welcome to Stamp It Group Spring Fling Blog Hop.  We are all using current Stampin’ Up! Products. I’m Linda Cullen from Massachusetts, USA and you are visiting my blog Crafty Stampin’. At the bottom of the blog post, you will find a list of all the participating blog hoppers so you can move along from blog to blog and see all the fantastic projects. Leave a comment on each blog with the hashtag #stampitcontest to be entered to win the Sit Stay Relax Stamp Set!

Spring!!  I can’t wait!!!  So looking through my supplies, I quickly decided that the By My Side Stamp Set, little kids with little animals, would be perfect.  I paired it with the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and I think I got all the ‘spring feels’!!  What do you think?

My first card features the little girl with the butterfly.  I fussy cut each of the kids after coloring them with Stampin’ Blends. All the cards use the same Designer Series Paper panel as the background.  I used the back side of this Designer Series Paper, the Mango Melody stripes cut with the large circle from Layering Circles Dies. I added a smaller circle of  Vellum to help the little girl stand out.

I used the following Stampin’ Blends for this little girl:

  • Hair – 100 & 200
  • Skin – 400
  • Butterfly – Granny Apple Green; Daffodil Delight; Sweet Sorbet
  • Dress: Flirty Flamingo; Sweet Sorbet
  • Shoes:  Basic Black

The second card features the little girl with the bird.  This time I added the Mango Melody plaid piece from the Brights Designer Series Paper Pack.  I used the largest circle die cut of the sky section of the Designer Series Paper for the background for the little girl.

I used the following Stampin’ Blends for this little girl:

  • Hair – So Saffron & 800
  • Skin – 900
  • Glasses – skin 900 & space Balmy Blue
  • Dress – Highland Heather & Starry Sky
  • Bird – Sweet Sorbet
  • Shoes – 200

My last card features the little boy and his dog.  I used another Mango Melody panel from the Brights Designer Series Paper Pack as the background for the card base.

I used the following Stampin’ Blends for this little boy:

  • Dog – 600
  • Hair – 900 & 800
  • Skin – 700
  • Shirt – Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam
  • Shorts – Night of Navy; Blamy Blu
  • Shoes – 600

I hope you liked my projects.  Which one is your favorite?
