Hi, everyone! Spring is almost here, and Teri<\/a> here to show to how to make a couple of Happy Spring Cards inspired by the season’s color scheme and butterflies! <\/p>\n

Happy Spring Cards’ Layers<\/h2>\n

Start by creating a card base and adding a couple of pieces of patterned paper. Try to pick light colors, like pinks, greens, and anything pastel. Add a torn page from an old book. I used a page from a book that is over 100 years old. The page was fairly fragile so I put adhesive on the patterned paper and then put the torn page on top, rather than applying adhesive to the page and then placing it on the card.<\/p>\n

Add a library book card (or a tag) to the card. Add two 3D Foam Butterflies<\/a> to it and gently burnish the foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Color<\/a> onto them. Make sure to face the foil color side up. Peel off the foil to reveal the color. Easy!<\/p>\n

Roll some of the E-Z Runner\u00ae Petite Permanent Dots<\/a> onto the edges of the card. Rub off some of the dots with your fingers for a distressed look. Once you’ve done this, apply foil using the same steps above to the dots.<\/p>\n

You’ll also want to add some faux paint splatters. These are really easy to create with Adhesive Dots Micro<\/a>. Simply place a few dots on your card and then add some foil to them. Be sure firmly burnish the foil onto them to make sure they are completely covered.<\/p>\n

Create a sentiment for your card by stamping some words on cardstock. Add strips of Crafty Foam Tape<\/a> to the back of it. Ball up a little metallic thread and place it under the tape. <\/p>\n

\n

Finish the card by placing a few buttons. Be sure to use buttons in Spring colors!<\/p>\n

Take 2 on Another Spring Card<\/h2>\n

You can kick things a notch when making a second Spring inspired card. Stick with the same color scheme but embellish the card a little differently.<\/p>\n

\n

Instead of using a book card, go without it. Add faux paint splatters to your buttons. It works just like when adding them to paper. Simply place an Adhesive Dot Micro<\/a> on your button and apply Transfer Foil on it.<\/p>\n

I hope you are inspired to make a few Happy Spring Cards of your own! <\/p>\n
