This was a fun card to create.  This is just a friendly card wishing a friend a happy day.  I used Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper, February 2023 Paper Pumpkin, Sunshine & Smiles, Raindrops Embossing Folder, and Stampin’ Up! Playing In The Rain stamp set and Playing In The Rain Dies to create this card.

I used a card base from the Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I embossed a panel of Balmy Blue card stock using the Raindrops Embossing Folder, adhering to the inside panel so the raindrops would show through the opening.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from Sentiment Silhouettes Dies.  The greeting is popped in the upper corner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a gray panel behind the opening on the card front. I cropped a bridge from Crumb Cake card stock using a die from Playing In The Rain Dies.  I popped this across the opening on the card front.  The cute Tommy Turtle is posted on one end of the bridge Roscoe Rabbit is posted on the other end.  They are so happy to be out in the sunshine once again, now that Spring is here.

Tommy Turtle has picked his Mom a flower from the flowers on the hill that appears in the open window.  A spring rain shower has just passed leaving a cloud and puddle behind that Roscoe Rabbit decided it would be fun to jump in. Roscoe Rabbit thought we need a bit of bling so he looked in the Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin and found just what he was looking for, taking a few in his hand, he threw them into the air. One of the gems landed at Tommy Turtle’s foot, one landed on the greeting and the other was coming back to land near him.

A piece of Old Olive card stock is cut to create a hill and embossed using one of the dies from Basic 3D Dies.  I think this die gives the appearance of grace blowing in the wind.  Freddie Frog and Charley Chick love the grass to play in. Charley Chick may decide to go pluck the centers out of the flowers on the hill, while Freddie Frog is thinking of joining Roscoe Rabbit in the puddle.  They are singing Happy Spring, happy, happy everything.  They found this sentiment on their Aunt Amy’s Pinterest when Happy Spring was popped in the search feature then came the task of finding the long-retired stamp set.

I used one of the envelopes from Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Kit to go with this card.
