A Handmade Card Inspiration with Rustic Spring Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I am continuing with the Rustic Spring Collection for our Anything Goes Saturday where Robbie & I share & create with what we have sitting in our craft room.  I love this as it gives me the opportunity to play & create with whatever!

There’s something timeless and soothing about the raw beauty of nature – sun-dappled fields and spring’s early blooms awakening the earth.  The Rustic Spring Collection captures that very essence, blending organic textures with delicate seasonal motifs to bring a warm, handcrafted feel to every creative project.

Be sure to check out Robbie’s project.

A Fresh Take on Rustic

  • The Rustic Springs isn’t your typical rustic – it’s elegance wrapped in wildflower bouquets, faded wood grains and watercolor washes.  Each sheet evokes a sense of nostalgia while remaining beautifully modern.  Whether you’re a scrapbooker, cardmaker, journaler or DIY enthusiast, this collection will elevate your storytelling with heartfelt depth.

Design Details

  • The paper on the card front features a eclectic print from the Rustic Spring pack, evoking that charming farmhouse feel.  I created a very simple cluster with a gorgeous handbag with a big white bow, along with a beautiful pair of shoes, again with big white bows, which sit on a Basic White Smooth punched circle with a Blue Sky Shimmer Cardstock stitched circle underneath.  To finish it off, I added a layered a sentiment direct onto scrap Blue Sky Shimmer Cardstock followed by randomly scattered Clear Rhinestones.

Why Rustic Spring?

  • What I love most about the Rustic Spring Collection is it’s versatility – they blend seamlessly for both soft romantic looks and earthy, grounded designs.  Whether you’re making cards, journals or home décor, this collection gives your crafts a cozy, handmade warmth.

Perfect for Any Occasion

  • This card is ideal for spring birthdays, thank-you notes or just a sweet hello to brighten someone’s day.  The natural hues and textures make it timeless and heartfelt.

If you haven’t yet explored the Rustic Spring Collection, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s a breath of fresh air and creativity – just like the season itself.

Why I Love It –

This card was inspired by scraps of left over paper from my June PaperCraft Kits.  It also reminds me of the fun times with Dad when we use to the creeks, fishing & swimming or just relaxing by tossing in a line.   The Lakeside Memories Papers really bring those moments to life, making this a thoughtful card for dads, brothers, uncles, or friends.

Tip –

Don’t be afraid to keep it simple – blokes usually appreciate clean, natural designs.  A pop of texture or a rustic element goes a long way!
