Garden Boots – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #591

Hey there,

Are you as ready for Spring as I am?  My heavens, I’m so ready to get out in my garden.   I have a ton of seedlings growing in the house and I think they would much rather be outside with the sun on them also.

Last year, we hardly had a Winter and I was picking strawberries in March.  This year we have 6 inches of snow on the ground.  I’m hoping we have a mild Spring and Summer.   None of that drought stuff.  Can I get an Amen!

Anyhow, my frame of mind is what brought this card design to light.  Today’s tutorial uses the fun Bootiful Occasions Stampin’ Up! rubber stamp set.  This set contains a boot for every season so it is quite versatile.  I’ve also put in a fun wood wall behind the boots.  Check out my tutorial for this card below.
