Franci’s Happy Spring Card

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Hi there! Franci here with a happy Spring card! I was inspired by “The Sims” video game to create this fun card featuring the new Easter Party stamp set! As soon as I saw this set I thought about this card! It makes me giggle so much! I re-created the game screen with the little character at the bottom left corner and the description of what to do at the bottom too!

First of all I die cut 2 stitched rectangles and I created my sky on one of the rectangles using a custom stencil die cut with Puffy Cloud Borders. Then I cut the hill with Simple Stitched Hillside Borders and added color with distress inks.

Next I stamped the images from Easter Party, colored with Copic markers then die cut all the images. I also die cut one of the new Mini Picture Frames from kraft cardstock.

I stamped my sentiment at the bottom combining the Easter Party set and the Happy Happy Happy stamp set.
Then I glued down all my images creating this fun scene! I created those green crystals that all the Sims have above their heads with the tiny banner dies from the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set. I colored them with a light green distress ink and glued them down as well.
Finally I added some details with a white gel pen and some sparkle with a Wink of Stella brush marker.
This project is totally nerdy and fun, hope it makes you smile! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

The Fun with Dies challenge will be open until Sunday, March 18 at 11:59PM ET.
