A Springy Card Set


Heres a fun Springy card set and and folder I made using a template and downloadable stamps from The Cutting Cafe. They are so easy to use and there are so many designs I had a hard time choosing what to make first.

I printed the Greeting Card Folder on my computer and cut it by hand (with the help of my paper cutter...sooo easy), but the downloads are also available in a format to use with SCAL or your Pazzles machine.
I used Martha Stewart punches and fun dotted paper to decorate the folder both inside and out. The pretty tulips are printed half size from The Huge Flower download (stamp 2). I made 2 cards per pocket but there was room for more.

I printed the tulips on patterned paper, glued them to card stock and cut them out. The flower heads and All Occasion Sentiment Circles were popped dotted for dimension. My Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder added some texture. A coordinating strip of paper was added to the inside edge to enhance the scalloped front.

I used 4 of of the 6 sentiments offered in the All Occasion Circle Scallop set. They are conveniently sized in 1", 1 1/2" and 2" versions to punch out with your circle punch, or cut with your Nesties. This was really a fun set to make and I think it would make a super gift. Be sure to stop by The Cutting Cafe to see all of Regina's fabulous designs. They are only a download away.
