Stampin' Up! You're Inspired

When I pulled out this stamp set to make a card last week, I remembered how much I loved this set.  I just had to make another card with the You're Inspired stamp set.  Each of the sentiments in this set works so well.  I'm making Easter Cards and Thinking-of-You cards for my card stash so I have them ready to use whenever I need them.  You'll love working with this set too.   

The basecard for today's card is Daffodil Delight.  The front of the Daffodil Delight is dry embossed with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder.  Then a layer of Whisper White and another layer of Daffodil Delight.  The image layer is Whisper White.     

  

The image is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored with Daffodil Delight Blends and Old Olive Blends.  The sentiments are stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, also.             

DThe ribbon is the 1/4" Daffodil Delight Double Stitched ribbon.  I tied a small bow using Linen Thread onto one side of the ribbon.  The entire image layer is popped up on Dimensionals.  If you already have the stamp set, pull it out and use it to make bright, cheerful Spring cards.  Someone you know would enjoy receiving a card from you today.

Stampin' Up! You're Inspiring Stamp Set

• Easter and Spring cards using You're Inspiring
• Final week to place Sale-A-Bration orders for free selections
• Important Dates to Remember

Stampin' Up! You're Inspiring

I designed this card last year when the You're Inspiring set first became available.  It remains one of my my favorite stamp sets for Spring.  Its great for Easter, Mother's Day, Happy Spring, Happy Birthday and Sympathy.  I used the Striped Embossing Folder on the diagonal rather than vertically or horizontally, to create a background with more interest.  I used the sentiments from Fable Friends to refresh this year's card. I  love how it turned out!  Add it to your Wish List today, and order it so you have it in time for all your Spring Occasions. 

The basecard for today's card is Daffodil Delight.  Then a layer of Basic Black, and another layer of Daffodil Delight.  The stripes on the top layer of Daffodil delight are created with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I angled the layer in the embossing folder to create diagonal stripes.  The folder is meant to create horizontal or vertical lines, but on smaller layers, it can also be used to create diagonal lines, like the ones I created on this card.      

  

The image layer is framed by a piece of Basic Black on two sides.  The image and sentiment are stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  The Daffodil is colored using Light and Dark Daffodil Blends.  The leaves are colored using the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends.  Blends can be purchased individually, or in combo packs, making it easy to build your set a little at a time of all as new colors are introduced.             

The set is extremely versatile with 5 different sentiments that will carry you from Birthdays, to Easter, to Mother's Day.  I also found that sentiments, from other sets, like the Fable Friends work well with this set.  You'll find yourself reaching for this set for many different Spring occasions. 

To see another beautiful card using this stamp set, check out this earlier card .
