In my family, spring means birthdays—lots of them! In fact, right now I’ve got four birthday cards in the works. That’s why I’m so excited about the new Instant Card Art. We came out with them in January, but with all my travel I’ve only just had a chance to play with them and they’re FABULOUS! There are four color-themed collections filled with heavyweight die-cut punch-outs. Just pop them out, sand around the edges with an emery board and add them to your card. The card here is using one of my all-time favorite images, from the Pretty Instant Card Art set. Notice how well it matches the paper? That’s from the Pretty Creative Pack and the brad and flowers are from the super-cool new Pretty Creative Kit. I just inked around the edge of the punch-out focal and around the outside of the card, added a grosgrain ribbon and the flowers and I’m done!

PS. We just finished a planning meeting for this spring’s Webisode lineup and I’m so excited! Think more clear plastic pails, metallic outline stickers, super-cool new templates (faux stitching, tabs and something called Thinga-Ma-Jigs) and cards, cards, cards!
