"It's a Beautiful Day" Spring Card

Make a few flowers, bunch them up, adhere them to a card, and wish someone a beautiful day with a Spring card by Designer Grace.

Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Level: Beginner
Size: 8 ½ x 5 ½”

Spring just says fresh blooms to me so I used some craft material to create my own dimensional flowers to embellish this Spring themed card.

Here's what you need:

• Pop Up Glue Dots®
• Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®
• 1" Glue Lines®
• Oly*Fun craft material by Fairfield (Orchid, Sky Blue, Bubble Gum, Lemon Drop)
• White cardstock
• White Grosgrain ribbon
• Patterned paper (Prism Play from Die Cuts With a View)
• 25 round epoxy stickers (Epiphany Crafts)
• Red twine
• Black Pen
• Scissors
• Circle punch
• Scallop border punch (Fiskars)

Here's what you do:

1. Fold an 8 ½" x 11” white cardstock into a vertical card. Cut the blue sky paper into 5 ¼ x 6” and the green pattern paper into 5 ¼ x 2 ½” pieces. Adhere to the card using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots.
2. Hand cut flowers from the various craft material. Layer two together using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots. Create the epoxy flower centers using pattern paper and the Epiphany Crafts tool and stickers. Adhere to the center of each flower using Pop Up Glue Dots.
3. Cut three pieces of ribbon and adhere one end onto the card using 1" Glue Lines. Gather the ends onto the center of the card. Wrap some twine around it and tie together. Add Ultra-Thin Glue Dots to the center to prevent it from moving around.
4. Adhere the flowers on the top of the ribbon strips with 1" Glue Lines.
5. Punch out a scallop border on the top of the pattern paper strip. Adhere to the card with Ultra-Thin Glue Dots centering the title.
6. Add pen lines all along the edge of the card and you're done!

Have a Beautiful Day!
