Todays bright card creation comes from our designer, Donna, and its bringing the celebration vibes! Donna said, “This card started as a sweet, picture-perfect spring scene with a cozy window, fresh blooms, and that bright, happy feeling only spring can bring. But once everything came together, it felt like something was missing…And really, what’s cuter than cats peeking through a window?” We think the addition of the cats took this card to the next level and the joy emanating from this card is just, WOW! Check out the steps to start the celebration with Spring kittens and florals!
How to create this card:
- I began by trimming a teal panel down to a standard A2 card size and ink-blending the edges with a coordinating teal dye ink to add depth.
- Next came lots and lots of die-cutting! I die-cut all of the elements from colored cardstock and ink-blended the edges using various dye inks from my stash for extra dimension.
- The window frame was die-cut using the 5157D Window 4 Pane Die from dark gray cardstock.
- I then die-cut all of the florals using 5147-19D Spring Tulip Starter Die, 5402-05D Canterbury Bells and Stems, 5422-04D Small Flowers #4, and the greenery from the 5709-05D Spring Greenery #4 Die.
- Once all of the die-cutting and ink-blending was finished, I started arranging everything onto the teal panel to create a spring scene.
- That’s when I realized the scene needed something extra cute, so I reached for the 37005 Birthday Cats Stamp Set. Perfect fit!
- I colored the sweet kitty images with Copic markers and die-cut them using the 37005D Birthday Cats Die, then tucked them right into the window.
- For the sentiment, I chose a celebratory greeting from the 38002-02 All-Occasion Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and trimmed it down using a sentiment strip from my stash.
- Lastly, I added a few gel highlights for a touch of sparkle and shine.
