Technique Tutorial: Getting Started on Some Early Spring Cards

Posted on by

I guess I’m over Winter. For when I started thinking about making these two cards, my mind immediately jumped to some yellows, florals, birds, bees and easter bunnies.

So, I’m inviting you to get started with me on some (very) early Easter or Spring cards, get some inspiration from my video or follow along with me to create these exact card designs.

The papers I used were by Craft and You Designs, from their Spring Garden collection.

Have fun crafting and I’d love to know: did you make these along with me, or at least feel inspired to get creating some spring projects of your own? Let me know in the comments down below!

Beautiful spring card

And here’s the second Easter card I made this year. Like I said in my last, I forgot to post them when it was actually Easter.

But April 27th is also a great day to post, for here in the Netherlands it’s King’s Day today, and the whole country celebrates in orange colours. So, here I am, with a – mostly – orange card! 😇

Paper used: Summer Breeze collection by Studiolight.

The card sports a little doorlet, held closed with a swivel tab closure
Decorated with flowers, buttons and a die-cut in the lower right corner
Heat embossed sentiment in the top right corner
Stamped bunny on the inside of the flap
Surprise! A large top flap!
Heat embossed a stamped image
Used two sizes of butterfly punches to create beautiful 3D butterflies

Vintage Easter Card

I realize Easter is already over, but I forgot to post this – as well as my other Easter card, which I will post next. After all, it’s the thought that counts – and you can use these techniques of layering and adding a small booklet to the front, as inspiration for your own cards. For any occasion you can think of! 🙂

Papers used: Easter Greetings collection by Craft and You.

I found this very appropriate stamp for the season on AliExpress

Shopping My Stash: Easter / Spring Tea Wallet Card

This year I sent three Easter cards to friends and family. The first two I already shared in one of my previous posts. This week I’m sharing the third, which is a wallet card, or a tea bag holder card, or whatever other creative descriptive you can come up with 🙂

Also, I shopped my stash again, one of this year’s themes for me personally, in order to actually use up the forgotten-but-beautiful-nonetheless papers in my collection.

It turned out pretty lovely, and of course I filled it up with some fresh tea, as is my way – because I just love to send my friends a Hug-in-a-Mug!

Anyway, here’s the video – ask any questions or leave a remark in the comment section below!

A Luxurious Easter Card

Springtime! And at the moment (for as long as it lasts) I’m loving all of those bright pastels! This year I’m sending out three Easter cards, two of which I’m showing you this week.

I used Mintay’s perfect springtime collection, Better Times. Gosh, those images are like frameable paintings all by themseleves, but I got over those qualms and cut into them anyway 😱

I focussed on designing one large, luxurious card with three sheets of double-sided design paper plus a cutapart sheet. I think I succeeded quite nicely 😊

In the end I still had enough paper left over to create a bonus card, which I’m sharing towards the end of the video.

Wishing you all a very lovely Easter and a happy spring! I’m curious, are you sending any Easter cards this year? Let me know in the comments!

And the Bonus Card!

Easter encouragements

Usually I don’t send out Easter cards, but this week I decided I would, because of these strange times we live in. After all, we can all use some spring-themed cards with some encouraging words.

So here are my five cards (one more than I’m sharing in the video!), created with the Easter Greetings collection by Craft and You, and some encouraging words 🙂

Starting off with card #5: “Praying for you” and “You have been given this mountain to show others it can be moved.”
“This too shall pass”
“You are never alone”
“Let your faith be bigger than your fear”

Multi-panel Easter Cards with Cotton Tail papers

To celebrate Easter – and simply the arrival of spring yesterday 🌺 – I created two z-shaped, multi-panel, tri-fold cards and did them up with Cotton Tail, a super fun Easter collection by We R Memory Keepers, in lovely spring colors.

The examples of regular Z-cards I found on the internet were all tri-folds, with four panels – which are very easy to make.
For my second card I decided to give it a little Creator’s Image Studio twist, and doubled its length! Now that was great fun to work on, I have to say, for each panel is its own little layout, and there’s fourteen of them on my double-length design!

It helps if you’re working with some cutapart sheets or a die-cut pack, to be able to create enough variation in your panel decorations. Also, just throw in some flowers, feathers, enamel dots and the like, and you’re ready to go.

Happy Easter, happy spring!
