Extra Large Spring Cards

I have a close crafty friend that makes cards often in the larger sizes, she sent me one at Christmas time and I love it so much I decided to take her card as inspiration and make a few extra large spring cards myself.  These wouldn't be so great to mail by themselves, but work great in a package or hand delivered.

These are the 3 I made, a birthday, Happy Easter and a Friend card.  They are 7" square and use Strathmore Bristol paper.  You can see them all on today's video along with the process of how I made one in case you'd like to try the layering effect for yourself.

This is the fourth of this set for my friend.  Now can you see why I scooped up these new K & Co Paper packs?  I guess after the snow, cool temps and cloud cover here in Southern Utah I was drawn to something bright and Springy!  This again is the Spring Blossom Paper Pad. 

This petal soft yellow flower is one cut from the White Rose Trim put out by Bo Bunny.  I again used my Gold Glow Smooch spray and rubbed the tops lightly with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The great yellow ribbon I picked up at my LSS for 85% off after season last year.  I love it because it's wire edged. 

Sentiments also from My Sentiments Exactly as the previous 3 cards.  I bungled up the inside and rubbed the sentiment on crooked so I had to improvise by adding another ink edge mat and a new sentiment.  That's the glory of paper crafting you can almost always hide the goobers!  The top mat, Daisy Garden, is from the Spring Blossom Seed Pocket Die-Cut Cardstock package.  I've never used these little packages of goodies until someone gave me one as a gift at Christmas time.  As you can see I'm really loving how they can finish off my cards.

So sorry I can't remember who made this stick pin, it's from the November Stick It To You swap at Your Paper Pantry.  If you recognize your handiwork please let me know so I can give you credit!

Another for my gift set of cards.  This is the back side of the paper from the previous post.  I used a new EK Success border punch I got for 80% off at JoAnns, what a deal!!!  The punch is called Graceful Heart which will be perfect for Valentines!

The die cuts are precut from K & Co in their Spring Blossom Icons Die-Cut Cardstock and Acetate Collection.

I really like this ribbon punch from Fiskars and must admit I often forget I have it and don't use it as often as I could.  It's called Leaver It to Weaver.

Sentiments are the Inspirations/Encouragement set from My Sentiments Exactly.  I sprayed the inside of the card with Gold Glow Smooch Spray, it's a little hard to see here but it gives the inside a great shimmer.

God Cares...
