Peekaboo Spring Scene

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I’m sharing a playful peekaboo window card featuring the adorable Cute Bugs, Dandelions, Hello Friend, and Rounded Stitched Rectangles from the latest release. The Cute Bugs set is packed with charming little critters—perfect for creating a sweet garden scene full of personality.

To begin, I created the sky background by ink blending with the Layered Clouds Stencils using Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides on A4 white cardstock. I then used the largest die from the Rounded Stitched Rectangles die set to round the corners. 

Next, I created two grassy borders from white cardstock using the Grass Border Die—one measuring 2″ high and the other 1¼” high. I ink blended the taller border with Rustic Wilderness and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides, and the shorter border with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxides. To match the card design, I rounded the bottom corners of the taller grass piece using the same rounded rectangle die.

For the interactive detail, I die cut a peekaboo window into the lower left side of the taller grass border. To create the window background, I ink blended a scrap of white cardstock with Gathered Twigs and Antique Linen Distress Oxides, then splattered it with white and brown acrylic paint for added texture before setting it aside to dry.

I stamped and die cut images from the Cute Bugs, Hello Friend, and Dandelions sets, then colored them with the Copic markers listed below. The little worm was adhered to the dirt background and placed behind the peekaboo window for a fun surprise!

To finish the card, I added a white heat embossed “Hello” sentiment and framed the design with a white rounded rectangle border.
