Hello Friends and Happy Monday!
Have you all seen the Simply Spring Release from Honey Bee Stamps? If you haven't check it out! So many beautiful Spring inspired products. Usually, you would have seen a bunch of sneak peeks from me but this time my DT package decided to take its sweet time. Oh well better late than never, right!?
For my project today I wanted to play with the Spring Cottage Village Dies and create a Spring Scene. If you saw my last Honey Bee project, I also made a pop-up card. I guess I loved it so much I just had to do it again, lol!
CARD RECIPE
- Die-cut the pieces for the cottage and glue them together. Also die-cut the tree, and the bushes and set them aside.
- Use the Cottage Countryside Dies to die-cut the background pieces. For the grass area, I separated the pieces and added a cobblestone road using Copic Markers. Set the die-cuts aside as well.
- For the front panel, die-cut the frame using the two largest dies of the Spring Vine Layering Frames from a white piece of cardstock first, and then the for the background I used blue paper from the Pinstripes & Polka Dots: Spring Paper Pad only cutting out the inside opening. Glue these pieces together to form the front.
- Next, I created 2 pop-up springs that I scored from a 1-inch wide piece of pattern paper Paper Pad at every 1/4"inch until it folded into an "M".
- I then glued the springs to the back of the frame.
- To make the scene pop, I glued the Cottage Countryside layers to the "springs". I did have to trim off a little of the sides to make the width of the scene match the width between the "springs".
- At this point, I glued on the cottage and tree.
- For the background of the card, I used the opposite side of the paper, trimmed it to A2 size, and added it to the card base.
- Before gluing the card front to the card base I figured out where to add the sentiment. I used a sentiment from Big Time Kindness and stamped it using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink.
- Then I glued the springs to the card base.
- Next, I added some glue to the clouds and slipped them into place.
- For a final touch and a little bit of sparkle, I added some gem stickers to the corners of the frame.
The cool thing about these pop-up cards is that they have so much dimension but without too much bulk!
I absolutely love how this card turned out and I hope you all do too. I really wish I had a pink cottage like this. I would make it my craft cottage and you all could come to visit and craft with me!
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
