Notes of Spring Note Cards

Notes of Spring Note Cards

When I got the first glimpse of Stampin’ Up!’s March Product of the Month (Notes of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set), I envisioned these cute little note cards. And, they came to life when my stamp set arrived. Aren’t they just the cutest? I feel this set would make a great gift.

Notes of Spring for Easter

Notes of Spring for Easter

I hope you’ve seen Stampin’ Up!’s newest Product of the Month: the Notes of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set. The cute little animals are just perfect for sweet cards. I think the bunny image makes a great addition to an Easter card.

Notes of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set

For today’s card, I used the same layout as yesterday’s post. See that post by clicking here. But I changed the colors and the sentiment to create an Easter card.

Measurements and Details

  • Fresh Freesia cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Fresh Freesia cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4, embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder
  • Sentiment from the Choose Happy Photopolymer Stamp Set stamped with Gorgeous Grape.
  • Bunny image stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I stamped the outline of the rabbit in full strength ink. Then, for the body, I inked the stamp with Gorgeous Grape, “stamped off” on a piece of scrap paper, and then stamped the body within the outline.
  • Colored the grass with Old Olive Light Stampin’ Blend
  • Linen Thread
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Clean & Simple

 I designed this card in line with Stampin’ Up!’s March creative challenge (#CreativeChallengeSU): to create a clean and simple card. From their Facebook post, I learned that clean and simple isn’t necessarily plain and boring. It actually comes with three principles attached. A clean and simple card includes:

  • A lot of negative space
  • Cluster element
  • Texture

I hope you like this sweet little card! More to come with the Notes of Spring stamp set. Remember, it’s Stampin’ Up!’s Product of the Month. When your online order total reaches $75 or more (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), add this stamp set to your card for just $5. Limit one set per customer. Available while supplies last. Click here to start shopping.
