Hi, I’m Sue SK of Ully Cat’s World and a new member
of the Dies R Us Design Team.
This sweet spring card is a z-fold card that when flat fits
in an A2 (4 3/8 in x 5 ¾ in) envelope.

It uses two dies – TuttiDesigns Easter Gate and PoppystampsHello Poe Script.
1. Cut three gates from white
cardstock, saving the waste pieces from between the fence pickets to use as
fence rail extensions. (See bottom left gate).
2. Trim arch and left flowers
from gate/fence and save off-cuts from second die-cut.
3. Trim off areas of gate to
make into fence. (Compare right fence to left gate.)
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3
with third die-cut.
5. Glue a fence section to each
side of gate. Use the waste pieces as fence rail extensions and flowers to
glue the pieces together.
6. Fold right side of fence
as shown.
7. Color the flowers, vine and grass using fine tip markers.
8. Taking one of the waste birds, trim off excess paper from
feet and tail. Cut a wing from scrap and glue onto bird. Color bird.
9. Glue bird’s eye back into gate piece and glue colored
bird over bird on gate. Use fine tip pen to add dot to eye. Glue third scrap bird onto back of bird on gate.
10. Glue the two waste arch/vine pieces to the back of gate
arch. Add fence rails as needed to support where fence pieces were added to
gate piece.
11. Cut a blue piece of cardstock 10 inches x 4 inches.
Score at 3 ¼ inches and 5 5/8 inches.
12. Color the background to add grass using a green marker and
clouds using white watercolor crayon.
13. Die-cut two of the “Hello” sentiment in light and dark
colors. Glue light on top of dark, off setting to create a shadow.
14. Glue left side of fence to left side of card, matching
bottom edges and left corner.
15. Glue right small folded flower/fence section and fold
card base onto glued section.
16. Glue sentiment onto from of card.
Don't forget to decorate your envelope and get more use out of your dies by using the off-cuts as stencils.
17. Using the waste piece from under the arch and gate, tape closed the bird's feet and tail. Stencil using ink and sponge dauber.
18. With a fine tip pen add details to the bird.
Hope this card brings a smile to your face and provides some inspiration to your crafting.
