April We Create Blog Hop- April Showers

Hello everyone! Happy April Fools, no fooling around here. We have some amazing projects for you!

Welcome to another, We Create Blog Hop.

This month's theme is April Showers. I chose to use two bundles for today's project. I used the Playing In The Rain and Filled With Fun stamp sets & dies. The Filled with Fun bundle is an online exclusive, which means you have to go online to get it, it is not in any catalog.

I like combining stamps sets when creating. I thought the wagon with the flowers (Filled With Fun) and the turtle holding a flower (Playing in the Rain) went perfect together. 

To make this simple card I used a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock, folded in half. I stamped the clouds, raindrops and puddles in Balmy Blue ink on a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White cardstock. I adhere that to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I die cut the following pieces: 

• Wagon in Real Red cardstock
• Railing in Crumb Cake cardstock
• Wheels in Basic Black cardstock
• Rims in Basic Gray cardstock
• Heart in Granny Apple Green cardstock
• Handle in Basic Gray cardstock and stamped in Memento ink

I glued the pieces together. I then stamped the turtle and flowers in Memento ink on Basic White cardstock. I colored them in using Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. I die cut the flowers and turtle with their matching dies.

I glued the flowers to the wagon then adhered it to the card front using Dimensionals.

I added my turtle with Dimensionals as well. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink on Basic White cardstock and die cut with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I adhered that to the card front using Dimensionals. That was it! So easy to make and you can replicate it to many many at a time.

Look at how adorable the wagon is.
