I've been wanting to do a spring card for a while but the truth is I thought they were going to be difficult. Well turns out I was wrong...and right.
Ok, mostly wrong. The template was easy. Cut it out, score a few lines and voila, I had the base for my spring card.
However, I can't get the darn thing to stay up. Did I make the front too heavy? Did I not use a strong enough card stock? (I used patterned paper for the base of the card.) How can I correct this? The saga continues until I find the answers.
Anywhoo...here is my first spring card.
I couldn't find any flowers that I really like for this card so I made my own. One day, I'll have to learn to make those fussy and fancy flowers but until then, these will do. I flipped up the ends of the flowers to give them more depth.
Ingredients: Card stock (Recollections); patterned paper (DCWV); Stamps (House Mouse); Ribbon (Recollections); jewels (Mark Richards); adhesive (Xyron, Elmer's craft bond); Ribbon; Pencils (Prismas); Punches (The Paper Studio)
