Tutorial: Spring Frame Cards

Good morning! Heather here and I’m sharing a fun set of cards created with the gorgeous Spring Frame Die – I love how they pop against bold colored cardstock, and make a perfect simple canvas for some lovely sentiments. This would be an easy way to create a set for gift giving, or to have on hand for lots of different occasions!

There is almost a graphic feel to these cards – and the vellum adds just the right touch of softness. Keep reading to see how these came together, step by step!

First up, you are going to need to die cut several of the Spring Frame from white cardstock. This die cuts like butter! And while there is lots of detail to make it gorgeous, there aren’t a ton of super tiny pieces to punch out, which I love!

Next, I chose some fun solid cardstock colors – there are all by Gina K Designs. The colors even look gorgeous together! I trimmed these down to fit behind the windows – so 4 1/4″ by 5 1/2″.

Next up – it was time to choose some sentiments! I heat embossed some sentiments from Thoughtful Greetings Stamp Set – a previous release – in gold on vellum, then trimmed them down into long strips, wider than the width of my card.

Next, I lined them up on my colored cardstock panels, folded the edges around to the back, and adhered them from behind. This way there is no need to hide the adhesive!

I used the handy Double Sided Foam Sticky Strips to adhere all of the Spring Frames over my cardstock panels – they are the perfect size to fit around the edges of this die, and it pops them up the perfect bit to add a bit of dimension.

The final finishing touch was a few Sparkling Clear Sequins adhered around for a bit of sparkle and shine!

And there you have it – a complete set, and super easy to put together!

Which color combo is your favorite? Or do you have a favorite sentiment?

Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!
