This fantastic card is full of fairy fun! Sindhu used stamps and dies to create a frocking scene of fairies among mushrooms and trees full of tiny flower blossoms. Take a closer look at the Hello Bluebird blog.
Charlene used a floral embossing folder to add all over raised texture to this card. She added wax for some shimmer and color with ink pads after creating her own mask for stenciling. Find out more on the Hero Arts blog.
This adorable card is perfect for a little one’s birthday with baby, mom and dad bird stamps from Lawn Fawn. Christy also used lots of different pattern papers and added a stenciled background for her stamped scene. Watch a video tutorial on the Christy Gets Crafty blog.
I’m so in love with this orange, black and light teal color combo on this stunning card from Bobbi! Notice how she stamped the entire flowers and leaves once on the base but then stamped and cut out just the flower “heads” and popped them up with foam for nice dimension. Find out more on the Bobbi Hart Design blog.
This wonderful card adds touches of gold by mixing stamping inks and embossing powder in gold using solid stamps and the results are so elegant! I spotted this birthday card idea on the Gina K. Instagram page.
I’m going to say it again, Gnomes work for every occasion! These cuties are catching rides on a dragonfly, butterfly and dandelion puff on an adorable card from Hanh. I like how they used the two box die cut frame to help add more detail to the scene. Take a closer peek at the My Favorite Things blog.
Wow, check out this amazing card that’s full of color and texture! Jen stamped the large flower twice on two piece of same sized cardstock, coloring both the same, she then used a detailed crisscross die to cut one panel and layered them together. You can find directions on the Picket Fence blog.
This card from Carol is the perfect mix of flowers and a birthday with an amazing Spring floral cake design! She used flower stencils to add the pattern to the cake, adding extra flowers for dimension and also dry embossed the card base for texture. Learn more on the Honey Bee Stamps blog.
If you have one small stamp you want to use but don’t think it’ll make a complete card then repeat it like Larissa did on this lovely design. She stamped the flowers three times, used a circle punch to cut them out and then colored them, adding them in a row down the card front, there’s also a die cut pattern card background. Find all the details on the Trinity Stamps blog.
This beautiful card from Laura was created using stencils and different colored ink pads for a bright and beautiful Spring card design. I came across her idea on the Concord and 9th Instagram page.
And last but certainly not least is this beautiful card from Raquel. Instead of stamping she used hot foil plates with lavender and silver foils, coloring in the images with coordinating stencils and soft colors of ink. Find more info at the Pinkfresh Studio blog.
I hope you’ve been inspired to create some amazing birthday cards using Springtime designs!
