Creating the Card Base
I started with a top-folding A2 card base and die-cut it using the scallop frame die. To ensure the card remained functional, I placed the die slightly over the folded edge to create a hinge. Then, I die-cut another full scallop layer and adhered it to the front for a clean, finished look.
- I stenciled fluffy clouds using the On a Cloudy Day Stencil and added shimmer with Sparkle Paper Glitz.
- I die-cut A2 Tall Grass Blades in green cardstock and added texture with Opaque Green Grass Paper Splatter.
- The Hello 3.0 Word Topper Die created a bold sentiment, blending seamlessly into the grassy background.
This Lucky Ducky Greetings card was a joy to create! With a mix of layering, stenciling, and die-cutting, it’s an eye-catching design that’s surprisingly easy to make. I hope this inspires you to get crafty with the Picket Fence Studios February Release!
