Spring is on the Way!

Our theme for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog is Spring is on the Way!Early blooming flowers are a sign that spring is right around the corner.  The sunny faces of Daffodils smiling will brighten anyone's day!  I created two of these cards, one for each of the Mothers in our family.

The stamp/die/mold Spring Daffodil set from Heartfelt Creations was released in 3/2021.  These flowers do take a bit of time create, but the end product is so worth the effort!  Heartfelt Creations has been a leader in exquisite flowers for over two decades.  Sadly the creator and owner is retiring.  If there is a flower you really love, now is the time to see if they are still available.  (I'm not in any way affiliated with HC, but have loved their products for many years!)

There are videos available on YouTube (Heartfelt Creations Spring Daffodil) to help you make these flowers, so I am going to list the supplies I used rather than describe the creation.  There is an accordion fold between the front die cut and card base, with the fence die cut mounted in the middle.  This allows the dimension of the flowers to shine.

Supplies:

• Heartfelt Creations Spring Daffodil stamps, dies, shaping mold
• HC Fragrant Hyacinth Stamp and die for the leaves
• HC Spring Garden Paper collection (on card front base and tag)
• HC Deluxe flower shaping kit
• HC golf tool
• HC Pastel Pollen Stamens
• HC Teardrop Lattice Gateway die
• HC Lattice Flourish Gateway die

Enjoy creating for Spring or in my case preparing ahead for Mother's Day!
