Hey Sunshine | Crate Paper Willow Lane

Morning!

I’m back with another card inspire by Julie’s Baseball Cards series over on Instagram.

Here’s prompt #2:

So there’s quite a bit of off-white/cream here with the pop of red and yellow.

But well, I couldn’t stop there, I added in some blue too!

I had planned to definitely use the red horse paper in the Willow Lane collection as my main background, and here’s how things developed:

Card inspiration with Crate Paper Willow Lane

Papers and ephemera: Crate Paper – Maggie Holmes – Willow Lane (r)
Stamp: Flora & Fauna – Everyday Word Party
Dies: Pretty Pink Posh – Stitched Strips, PTI – Tag Sale #10 (r), The Stamp Market – Fringe Borders

I used other papers from that collection to incorporate the contrasting border at the bottom and the mustard yellow fringe and stitched edge detail.

I found a cool sentiment in the matching ephemera pack and simply stamped an extra sentiment directly on it, then to make it stand out I grabbed a tag die and more Willow Lane paper.

To bring everything together, I deployed an old Martha Stewart butterfly punch to cut little blue and yellow butterflies.

Until next time, happy crafting!

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
