Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I am
sharing a colorful spring card created with Spring
Fever Paper and Rainy
Days Dies.
To start, I added a stitched border by die cuting a
stitched rectangle die onto a piece of
A2 white card stock. Using
Versamark Ink, I stamped the rain drops onto the background with the Rain
Showers Stamp. I heat embossed the rain drops with clear embossing
powder and set the card background aside.
For the tag, I die cut paper from Spring
Fever Paper using Scalloped
Tag Square Dies. Next, I die cut the cloudy background using a
square die 3”x 3”. Using the same die, I
die cut a piece of acetate and wiped it with a dryer sheet to avoid
static. To make the white frame, I
nested a 2.5” x 2.5” square die inside the 3”x 3” square die and ran it through
my die cut machine with white cardstock. I repeated this with a piece of
double-sided foam. I glued the acetate onto the white cardstock frame and then
adhered it onto the foam frame.
The umbrella was made using Rainy
Days Dies with paper from Spring
Fever Paper. I ink blended the umbrella frame and the tip with
Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide. I glued the umbrella onto the cloudy background
and added Crystal
Clear Jewels and attached the acetate frame onto the background
forming the shaker. I glued the umbrella
shaker onto the square tag. I adhered the entire tag onto the white embossed
card background.
I added a colorful border using paper from the same pack
die cut with Ribbon
& Lace Border Dies. I
added some rain drops from the Rainy
Days Dies using blue cardstock and
highlighted a few with Clear
Rain Drops. I finished the card by tying a bow with yellow twine and a
White Heat Embossed sentiment from Spring
Showers Stamps.
Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a wonderful
week!

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I hope you are having a great Spring season
so far! I'm happy to be back on the blog sharing a brand new card inspiration
featuring Sunny Studio Stamps' Spring Fever Paper.
Bright cheerful colors, and an array of beautiful patterns of polka dots,
and florals are among the features I absolutely love about this amazing
6x6 paper pack! I love the variety of papers that can be used all year
round and for so many different occasions, makes this pack one of my favorites
in my stash! Today, I paired the Spring Fever pattern papers with Sunny's
adorable Looking Sharp Stamps to create a fun and extra happy birthday card.
To
start, I cut an A2 sized base panel from 110 lb. Neenah Solar white heavyweight
cardstock. I cut another A2 sized panel of rainbow pattern paper from the
Spring Fever Paper. I adhered the pattern paper to my base using double sided
tape adhesive to ensure the paper lay super flat without any bubbles.
Then, I cut out three circles using 2 different sized circle dies from a
bright yellow polka dot paper. I played around with the placement of the
circles before adhering them to my card front.
Next,
I stamped out all the adorable cacti images on watercolor paper using Antique
Linen Distress Ink. I also used a birthday cupcake image from the Panda Party Stamps.
I then water colored my images using Faber-Castell watercolor pencils. I used
the corresponding Looking Sharp Dies to cut out the cacti images and
used the Panda Party Dies to cut out the cupcake. I adhered all the images inside the yellow circles
using double sided tape adhesive, and used small cuts of double sided foam
strips to give the cupcakes dimension.
Lastly,
I stamped out my sentiment onto some banner strips and adhered them to the
card, and presto! A super fun birthday card for any of your cacti and succulent
loving friends or family! I certainly have many people in my life that
are huge fans of these prickly plants so this card will find a home soon!
Thank you so much for joining me today, friends! I hope I've inspired you to
use more pattern papers in your creations! Until next week, stay safe and Happy
Cardmaking!
