Quick and Easy Spring Card.

 

Hello and Welcome!

 

As crafters we always need a last-minute card that we can quickly produce.

 This is where paper pads come in handy!

I just love paper pads!

When I get a new paper pad, I ask myself “what can this paper do?”.

In this case, the paper makes an excellent spring background.

This particular paper comes from the Spring Blooms 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

I die cut this piece of tulip paper using the Hexagon Frame Die Set

This die cut piece becomes my card front.

I also created a card base using the same die set.

Now that my shaped card is complete, I selected my image

 from Newton’s Easter Basket Stamp Set.

The image that I am using from the stamp set is on the smaller size,

so this will fit on the front of my shaped card with out looking out of sorts.

I also create a tiny banner for my sentiment.

How cute the “peep  peep” is!

I added the banner and the image to the card first.

Then I added all of my chicks on next.

I popped some of the chicks up with foam tape to give the card some dimension.

For a finishing touch, I added Stickles to the front of the egg.

Hope you enjoyed my take on this quick and easy card.

 

Thanks for stopping by

Stay crafty, my friends!

Inky Paw's Challenge 201 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Birdhouse Greetings

Birthday Party 6x6 Paper Pad

Oval Frames Die Set

Spring Blooms Oval (sentiment)

  Super fun and easy card coming to you today for the Inky Paw’s Challenge.

I stared with a card base of 4 x 5 ½ blue cardstock

And a rectangle 3 ½ x 4 ½ made with the same blue cardstock.

To the bottom of the card base I added a ¾ inch strip of the

blue balloons from the Birthday Party 6x6 Paper Pad.

To the bottom of the rectangle, I added a 1-inch strip of birthday paper

and a 1/2 strip of confetti cardstock also from the Birthday Party 6x6 Paper Pad.

I adhered the rectangle to the front of the card and placed

a stamp block on top so that Everything would dry flat.

Next, I die cut my oval out of white cardstock and the Oval Frames Die Set.

This is attached to the front of the card.

I stamped, colored and die cut my images from Birdhouse Greetings.

I stated the placement on the front of my card with the birdhouse first.

Attaching it to my card with foam tape.

My sentiment from Spring Blooms Oval  came next.

Then, I added a few more birds and a bit of grass

I am not good at twine, so I created a bow and added that to the left side of the birdhouse.

 I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 198 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Kitten Beach

Spring Bloom 6x6 Paper Pad

A7 Frames and Banner Die Set

Newton Blooms (grass by the chair)

Spring Roundabout (sentiment)

 I started this card by creating the base for this card.

I used grass green cardstock and the A7 Frames and Banner Die Set.

I also created a background from the same cardstock.

Next, came the panels for the background.

 I knew that I wanted to use the tulips page from the Spring Bloom 6x Paper Pad.

I am NOT a technical card maker, so how to create

these panels in a simple way will be a challenge.

After measuring the background, I decided the panels could be no longer than 3 inches.

I need room for the sentiment at the bottom.

The paper is 6 inches wide.

I needed 6 panels, ok 1 inch each.

But…. I waned a slight gap between each panel, so I wound make the panel ¾ of an inch.

Final panel size ¾ x 3inches

I started by chopping a bit of the grass off the bottom of the paper.

Then I trimmed the top by the tulips to 3 inches.

Next, I trimmed the tulips into one-inch stripes.

I DID NOT trim the strip into ¾ first, because it would leave

too much of a gap between each panel causing the tulips not to line up.

Instead, I took each panel in sets of two and trimmed them to ¾ together.

This will keep the tulips lined up when the panel is glued to the card front.

I started with the left panel and slowly glued the panels on one by one.

I checked the placement as I went to make sure that I was gluing to panel as straight as possible.

I placed the card front aside to dry and stared to stamp out my image from the Kitten Beach.

I attached my image to the front of the card with foam tape.

I also stamped on my sentiment from Spring Roundabout.

The card needs a bit of something else.

I decided to add some stamped out grass from Newton Blooms.

Adding on the grass completes my take on the challenge

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 195 - Sketch Challenge

 Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge!

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 Baa Stamp Set

NEW Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad 

Land Boarders Die

Speech Bubble Dies

For the second half of this challenge, I decided on classic spring colors.

I chose the yellow and pink printed flower paper from the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.

For the long rectangles I used a 1 ¼ x 3 strips of paper.

For the squares I used 2 ¼ x 3 squares.

I laid the strips and the squares on to purple cardstock, to look like the challenge sketch.

 I left a gap between the pieces to show the cardstock underneath.

After gluing everything down, I trimmed around the pieces.

and created a card front that is 3 ½ x 6 ½.

 Next, I stamped, colored, and die cut my sheep from the Baa Stamp Set.

I also die cut out “grass” from the Land Boarders Die and green cardstock.

I placed my die cut pieces on the larger squares.

I added the sheep to the front with foam tape.

To create a place for my sentiment, I used the Speech Bubble Dies.

Once the sentiment was added to the front of my card, I finished this

 project up by creating a custom card base.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.
