This beautiful color combo is perfect for spring cards and more! Create a garden scene, try adding the colors to a birthday card or mix in a pet with brown fur! Let's check out what our Design Team created!

Claire Lamb's card is filled with delightful bubbles! She uses the feline from the Newton's Bubble Tea stamp set and coordinating die set along with the canine from the Puppy's Bubble Tea and coordinating die set. Both are so adorable drinking their colorful beverages. She adds more texture to her card by using the Bubbly stencil along with the A2 Card Layout 2 die. Such a fun way to use the colors!

Crystal Minkler creates the cutest Easter card by using the Bunny Tails stencil set to create her background of bunnies! All those lavender tails-too cute! She then creates three postage stamps by using the Postage Stamp Layout die and cutting them apart. She adds a trio of images from the Easter Postage Sampler stamp and coordinating die set on distressed backgrounds. Her final touch is the sentiment using the Happy Easter die. Absolutely adorable!

The papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad coordinate wonderfully together.
