Hello. Amy here today from The Happy Scraps. I’m excited to be here today sharing these cards with you. I got out the brand new Spring Fling collection to put these together, and I think I’m hooked! The combination of the Kraft colors + the pink, yellow, green, white, etc., is just perfect! Today I’m sharing these cards with you that would be perfect for any party or celebration that you have coming up. Birthday, Wedding, etc., the Spring Fling collection is perfect.

The entire Spring Fling collection is bursting at the seams with cuteness. I picked out some of the papers and embellishments that I thought I might use when I sat down to make these cards.

I picked out the Scattered Daisies paper and used the back of it for the base of my first card. I also found the gold foiled flags in the pack of printed cardstock and vellum shapes. I pulled out some brown ink, and inked the edges of the white card base, as well as the pieces I was adding to the front.

I adhered the pretty back side of the Scattered Daisies to the front of my card.

I used some light colored twine and tied a bow on the top of this piece.

Then I attached it to the card.

I found this cute mason jar in the pack of printed cardstock and vellum shapes as well. I pulled out the Spring Fling Puffy Stickers and found a flower that matched. I placed it over the top of the printed flower to give it more dimension. Then I trimmed a couple of the flower leaves from the puffy stickers, to match the leaves as well. I attached this to the front of the pink polka dotted flag with some dimensional adhesive squares.

I place dimensional adhesive squares on the back of the pink polka dotted flag, then attached it to the front of the card.

This is how the card turned out. It could be used to congratulate a newly wed couple, or given for a birthday card, or anything else that would be considered the “best day ever”. I love what the gold foil adds to this fun card!

For the next card, I picked out the Spring Fling Patchwork paper. I trimmed a piece for the front of my card, then inked the edges with brown ink.

Using one of the cards I cut from the Spring Fling paper with foil accents, I rounded the corners with my corner chomper. I inked the edges of this pretty cupcake card as well.

From the Spring Fling From Me to You paper, I cut out this “Happy Birthday” flag. I trimmed the end slightly so it would fit on my card.

I rounded the corners on one end of this, then inked the edges as well. I love how inking the edges can add just that little bit of extra to cards! I tied a pink twine bow around the end of the flag, then attached it to the card with dimensional adhesive squares. I also used dimensional adhesive squares to attach the cupcake card as well.

While this card may be a little more simple, I think it is stunning. The gold foil on the base of the cupcake really adds to it as well. I can’t wait to give this to someone for their birthday!

For this last card, I had so much fun putting it together. I used the Spring Fling Party Time paper for the base, and Spring Fling Celebration for the smaller pink piece on the card. I inked the edges again for this one as well.

I attached the pieces to the card, placing the pink piece in the lower right corner.

I grabbed a gold chevron paper straw from my stash and placed the Congratulations flag on it from the Spring Fling accent stickers pack.

In the pack printed cardstock and vellum shapes I found these adorable giraffes. I place dimensional adhesive squares on the back of them, and the placed them on the front of the card. Then attached the congratulations flag on the card as well.

Isn’t this just perfect for a wedding card? This whole Spring Fling line is perfect for celebrating almost any occasion!

So don’t wait, grab this paper collection and get creating!! I can’t wait to create more projects with this.
