Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Spring Fling Challenge! When I think of Spring, the first things that come to mind are bunnies and flowers, so I knew that had to be the focus of today’s card. The adorable, new Carrot ‘Bout You stamp set worked perfectly as the star, and I also brought in a speech bubble from All the Speech Bubbles and two tiny butterflies from Butterfly Kisses. I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Next, I cut the inner part of the Secret Garden Window from white cardstock and colored it in the same shades of Copics as I had used on my images. I took a piece of the pastel rainbow striped patterned paper from the Rainbow Ever After 6×6 pad and trimmed it down with the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, then cut out the center with the other part of the Secret Garden Window. I glued these two pieces together.


Then I took another sheet of patterned paper with a gorgeous sunset ombre look and trimmed off the bottom, then cut that out with the grass from the Mushroom Border. I popped that up with foam tape over the part I was using for my sky, then popped the frame over top as well. I glued this whole panel to the front of a Sticky Note card base.


I adhered my images with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape and stamped the rest of my sentiment on Moonstone Cardstock with Forget-me-not Ink. I trimmed that down with an Everyday Sentiment Banner and glued that at the bottom of the window and finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! And I’ll have another video using these sets on the Lawn Fawn YouTube channel tomorrow, so stay tuned for that. We hope you’re enjoying our Spring Fling challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you so much for this sweet inspiration, Christy! This card is absolutely beautiful!

Oh, my goodness, Samantha certainly put the color palette to wonderful use! Her “Hello Fall” card is just too charming and so colorful!


Samantha is known for her whimsical color choices, so this color palette is perfect for her! From purple trees and grass to a sage colored beaver with a rainbow tail, this design is brilliant!

She combined the Wood You Be Mine? beaver with a woolen cap from Winter Birds. She colored the leaves from You Autumn Know in jewel tones, then she added the Finley’s ABCs greeting!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha!

The Cutest Rainy Day with Samantha

Samantha‘s Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks are enjoying the cutest rainy day! It’s adorable inspiration for our What’s the Weather challenge!

Samantha created a sweet card featuring the Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks playing in a puddle on a rainy day! I love that they are using the Dandy Day dandelion flowers as umbrellas, that is just too cute!

To set the scene she started with Rainy Backdrop: Landscape and Mushroom Border. Then she added clouds and grass from Meadow Backdrop: Portrait and finished with a sweet and scripty Hello Border greeting!

Thank you for this adorable inspiration today, Samantha!

The What’s the Weather challenge will be open until Sunday, February 14 at 11:59PM ET so you still have time to get your weather-themed entries added to the challenge gallery. We can’t wait to see what you create!
