Hi crafty friends! Guess what? It's Spring outside! Even though we're not out doing all the spring things…we can still craft for Spring! I have been making lots of cheerful, colorful greetings… Maybe trying to cheer myself up! I'm drawn to critters lately too! Lots of coloring. Because coloring totally gets my mind off of things. I love to put on music in the craft room and lose track of time and color. I hope all of you are doing well when you read this note. Thinking of you and wishing you the best during this strange time in life. XOXO
Today's card features stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird and Lawn Fawn. This finished card is 7" x 4" and I made it using white cardstock and my trusty Scor-pal tool. This card will fit into a business size envelope for mailing. I colored these cute birdies for the coloring challenge and then on Saturday I made them into this card to WELCOME SPRING!!
These cutie patootie bluebirds are from Hello Bluebird Stamps – how appropriate! This set has been in my craft room for a while and I finally used it. YEAH! I stamped and die cut out three birdies and colored them with Copics. Then I colored some flowers and one wee little ladybug too!
This little guy is affixed to the card with a mini action wobble!! He's flying off the card!! This makes me ridiculously happy. The words are spelled out using a brand new alphabet die set from Lawn Fawn – Oliver's Alphabet. I have this obsession with alphabet dies! I'm not gonna deny it. This one is PERFECT for cards. It's just the exact right size to spell out anything and that stitched detail is one I always love.
I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the MFT cloud stencils (both the regular one and the mini one) to create a cloudy backdrop for the little guys. Just a faint blue… The background and the letters were spritzed with white gloss spray! (Another new product in my room)… Yes, I'm using all the new things!
Here's a side view of the action wobble! Have you used these before? I love them!! SO easy to add something to your cards!!

I glued the letters directly to the top layer with Lawn Fawn glue and tweezers. The critters were attached with foam tape.
I tucked in some pretty yellow flowers behind the bird. I felt like the card needed a bit more yellow…
Okay, friends, that's it for today! I'm posting on Instagram every day now – all different things. If you're not already, find me over there, and we can keep in touch throughout this lockdown. I'd love to see you there too! Be well, stay healthy, and craft on! XOXO

Wanda, this card just makes me happy! Thank you for that!
Hi Wanda, I love love this card and the best news to me is I have all of these supplies so that is my plan today. I hope to make 5 to send to some friends and family . I will tell them it’s your design. Two of my friends already follow you. I hope you are well. I am just getting back to looking at blogs. More time. My sentiment in my cards will say…Spring is not cancelled. Sending love…..oh by the way I referred you to Jeff Lindberg’s You Tube to be a guest. Hoping he asks you cause you got talent, my lady.
Oh, I forgot..Jeff replied to my comment…he said”Great idea”
Your cards are cheerful! Keep it up. They brighten my day!
Completely adorable!! 💙💙💙
My granddaughters love is when I use wobblers. Especially the youngest who is obsessed with Minnie. Love these bluebirds. I have some flying around already by my seed feeder. I have created 10 purses for future use and today I am digging out some unfinished quilt blocks. Perfect time to get the unfinished finished! Staying safe and healthy and following you…
I LOVE THIS!!! 😍 Such a cute card! Love your beautiful coloring! I’m a HUGE fan of alphabet dies as well. Such a wonderful card design! And I can’t even emphasize enough how much I LOVE the fact that you used a combo of some great products from multiple companies! I wish more people would do that! Thank you for sharing this awesome inspiration! Be safe! Stay healthy! 💕😊💕
Such a sweet, cheerful card, Wanda! I love it. And yes, this grandma uses a fair amount of wobblers! (sometimes for the adults, too…) Thinking of you and trying to keep being grateful in the midst of being confined! Good thing I love my craft room! Big virtual hugs, my friend.
