Spring - Right as Rain

Another Hero Arts Spring Hello

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Hero Arts supplies. I shared a similar card here.

I die-cut the watering can and flowers from white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils.
I stamped the sentiment, from a retired Hero Arts set and cut it with a small tag die. I tied the sentiment on to the can.
I added the assembled can with flowers to the patterned paper background with foam adhesive.
I drew a dotted border with a white pigment pen around the edge to add to the homespun feeling of the card.

Cottage Cutz – Spring Garden Scene

Hello! Today, I am sharing a spring-themed card created with the Cottage Cutz Puppy in Garden Cart set. Working with these sets is a bit like working a jigsaw puzzle!

I die cut the cart, dog, plants, and umbrella from a variety of cardstock. To some I applied Distress Ink. I added Yellow Stickles to the centers of the flowers.
I stamped the Your Next Stamp Happy Gnomies sentiment on to a rectangular panel and added Distress Inks to create the horizon line.
I added a frame to the card base and added the assembled garden cart with foam adhesive.

Penny Black Hello Spring Wagon

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a Valentine’s Day card featuring the 51-646 Wagon Ride set here.

I created a horizon line on a 4 1/4″ square card base.
I cut the 51-646 Wagon Ride set from white, dark grey, brush silver, and kraft cardstock and assembled it.
I die-cut the flowers with the 51-596 Bird and Branch and 51-618 Swinging sets from cardstock colored with Distress Inks, which I heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.
I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from yellow cardstock.
I adhered the sentiment and flowers to the card base.

Hero Arts Spring “Hello”

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Hero Arts supplies. Around here, we have decidedly spring days followed by ones, like today, that feel like winter!

I die-cut the watering can and flowers from cardstock inked with Distress inks. I added additional ink to the cut pieces after cutting.
For the tulips, I pieced the blooms on to the stems.
I stamped the sentiment, from an old Hero Arts set, and cut it with a small tag die.
To create the background, I stamped an old Hero Arts background stamp with white paint. Once dry, I applied Distress inks in shades of yellow. The painted area resisted the ink.
I added the assembled can with flowers to the background with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders March 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders March 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kathy Clement. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created spring-themed cards using this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Spring Together with Lever Pull.” I shared two other cards created with the kit in this post.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, March 14th, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

My first card is a gift-card holder on which I included an interactive bunny, created with the Large Die of the Month and the Festive Wreaths Slider Card die sets.

I created a tone-on-tone, glimmer-foiled Skinny Stripe Background for the gift card holder front.
I also glimmer-foiled one of Yana’s Tiny Sentiments.
I cut and assembled the bunny and mechanism, using a vellum oval as the background.
The bunny is holding a carrot cut with a die in the Hoppy Sunday Drive set.

While the Large Die of the Month set makes it possible to create interactive cards, it can also be used to create cards without the interactive element, as shown on my next card.

I cut and assembled the six chicks and added them to a vellum circle.
I added the assembly to a patterned paper background.
I foiled a sentiment from the Mini Everyday Sentiments set, which I added across the chicks with foam adhesive.
I accessorized the card with the egg shell and flowers.
