How to Make A Bright Spring Thank You Card

When you think of Spring, you think of florals, butterflies and cheery bright colors. Today’s card is exploding with all the Spring vibes and we are obsessed!

We are in the month of March, and while it is still very very cold outside, there is a promise of Spring just around the corner. We have a week of 70 degree weather last week, and here in Tennessee, we call that the “Spring of Deception” haha. It makes you want to start planting and cleaning up your garden… but it’s a fake spring, and this week, we are back to 35 degree temps. Today’s card is from our designer, Lisa, who is bringing the Spring vibes and warming us up inside. Lisa said, “I’m ready for spring, and am obsessed with this Floral Abstract stencil for my Spring backgrounds. I especially love the way these layered stencils are numbered and have shaped notches to help line them up!” We agree! Follow along as Lisa demonstrates how to make a bright spring thank you card that’s going to liven up your winter craft room and bring those spring vibes.

1. I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the largest die from the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set.
2. Used the 4405 Floral Abstract 6×6 3 Part Stencil for my background. Each of the 3 layers is etched with a number and small shaped notches to make them easy peasy to use! This set has some fine lines so it really helps to spray lightly with some Pixie Spray to keep it in place.
3. I used Layer One and blended Fern ink from the Color Fuse Set #11.
4. Next Layer Two with Apricot ink from the Color Fuse Set #2.
5. And Layer Three with Lemon ink from the Color Fuse Set #1.
6. Once my background was done, I die cut the oval from the 5601-01d Elegant Scroll Rectangle Die set out of orange glitter paper and then decided to make it a frame by cutting the center out with a die from the 5014d Nested Oval Small Stitch Dies. I popped it up onto the floral background.
7. Then I stamped, die cut and colored two butterflies from the 36026 Butterfly Kisses 5×6 Stamp Set and popped them up over the edges of the frame.
8. Finally, I die cut the word die from the 5749-02d Thank You Die set from a deco foiled gel print and placed it over the frame.

This card is so lovely and we feel warmer just looking at it. We know real spring is still a bit of a ways away, but starting our spring crafting is just what this wintery soul needed.
