Celebrating Spring Easel Card – A Paper Pumpkin Alternate Tutorial
A Fun Spring Card That Practically Jumps Off the Table!
I took the pieces from the Celebrating Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit and transformed them into a gorgeous Easel Card — and when you prop it open, that Easter basket practically pops right off the table! It’s one of those cards that looks super impressive but is totally doable, even if you’re just getting started with card making.
Blog Hop Fun
I’m joining some friends today to bring you more inspiration with the Watercolor in Bloom Paper Pumpkin kit. So be sure to check out the BLOG HOPPERS links below for more inspiration.
Soft, Springy Colors That Make Your Heart Happy
I leaned into Stampin’ Up!’s Subtles color collection for that dreamy, soft spring vibe, and the Pastels Shimmer Paper background adds just the right amount of sparkle. I embossed it for gorgeous texture — and fun confession, I used a retired folder! The So Swirly or Forever Plaid folders would work beautifully too.
Stampin’ Blends + a Sneaky Little Egg Hack!
I used Stampin’ Blends Markers to color those cheerful Easter eggs, and they blend so smoothly — perfect for beginners and pros alike. My favorite hack? I used the Woolly Friends “Sheep” Punch to cut adorable little egg accent shapes from Shimmer Paper. 🐣
The Perfect Card for So Many Occasions
This card is perfect for Easter, spring birthdays, Mother’s Day, teacher appreciation, or a cheerful “thinking of you”— and because it’s an easel card, it doubles as an adorable little tabletop decoration the recipient will want to display all season long!
