Frog Pals Spinach & Ramona

Hi crafty friends! Kim here from KimKreates to share this cheerful card starring the adorable Spinach and Ramona!

I loved staying with my grandparents when I was a child! My grandpa had a stuffed frog that was always on the pillows of their bed. When he passed away, my grandma gave me the frog because she knew how much I loved it. When I saw the Frog Pals Spinach and Ramona stamp set, I knew I needed to create with it!

I started with a white base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″ to create a top fold card. I wanted to use a blue and yellow color pallet, so I dug through my stash for some fun papers, and I trimmed them to the following sizes:

Yellow card stock – 5 1/4″ x 4″

Blue card stock – 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″

Blue plaid paper – 4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″

Yellow patterned paper – 1 1/2″ x 3 5/8″

Blue card stock – 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″

White card stock – 3″ x 4″

I stamped my images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and allowed the ink to dry completely. I colored my images with Copic Markers (colors listed below). I used the coordinating Frog Dies to cut out the images and I set them aside.

Using the 3″ x 4″ panel, I placed the lily pad onto the panel with removable adhesive and traced around it lightly with a pencil. I removed the lily pad from the panel, and I began to color my water using Copic Markers, starting with a darker outline closest to the lily pad and moving to a lighter shade, the further away it got.

I stamped my sentiment in the upper left corner of the white panel in black ink, and I set about to creating my card.

I adhered the yellow and blue cardstock and the blue and yellow patterned paper together, in that order. I wrapped a piece of white seam binding around them and adhered to the back. Using liquid adhesive, I glued those layers down to the front of my card base and then adhered the blue and white panel to the top. Once I had my card built, I arranged my stamped images and glued them in place. Lastly, I tied a bow from my seam binding and attached it to the card front using a glue dot.
