Looking for Spring - Kitchen Sink Stamps

With my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored slimline card today, I am continuing my quest for spring. I took a little road trip this weekend and saw primroses and Indian paint brushes popping up along the roadside. Now I am keeping my eyes peeled for the arrival of daffodils in neighborhood flower beds! 

Images from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets were used on this design:

Spring Daffodils

Spring Nest

Owl & Autumn Moon

Hawaiian Greetings

I also used their SVG cut stencil Cloudy Skies.

The 3-D brick embossing folder is by Sizzix.

I have entered this design in the following challenges this week:

Can You Handle the Pressure - Anything Embossing - Twist - Things with Wings

The Winter Flash Sale at Kitchen Sink Stamps continues until midnight PST Tuesday, February 28. What a great time to snag those items on your wish list!

SCS Technique Lover's Challenge #937 - Crate Card

While looking for something new to try for today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design, I happened upon Technique Lover's Challenge #937 over at Splitcoaststampers. Today's challenge was to create a crate card using their tutorial created by the talented Helen found here. I decided to give it a try for my Valentine collection.

I really love how it turned out! One really cool thing about it is that it folds flat to fit in an A2 envelope for mailing! How great is that!

Check out the tutorial and give it a try.
