You Mean The Worm To Me card tutorial

Spring is in the air! Well, sort of… But with the first day of spring this month (hard to believe!), let’s celebrate the start of a new season with a spring-themed card featuring the Springity Spring Digital Stamps!

Since I will be using the Worm Stamp, I decided to make a mini slimline card this time around, so after cutting and scoring my card to measure 3.5” x 6”, I planned out my card in Cricut Design Space. For this card, I decided to go with the sentiment, “You mean the worm to me.” It was just so cute that I had to go with it!

Now that I have my image and sentiment printed onto 100lb Hammermill cardstock and cut out using my Cricut cutting machine, it’s time to colour! I used the following Ohuhu alcohol markers to colour the worm: RV180, RV200, RV260, RV270

I also decided to add a bit more colour using the following Prismacolor Pencil Crayons: Clay Rose – PC 1017, Pink – PC 929, Blush Pink – PC 928, Deco Pink – PC 1014 and White – PC 938

This step is completely optional; however, I have been quite enjoying using and experimenting with pencil crayons, so I decided to use them.

To create the background, I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to measure 3” x 5.5” to act as my card front. I also trimmed down a piece of cardstock slightly larger than this to act as a mat for the card.

I ink-blended both the card front and edges of the mat using Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide to match the colour of the worm. I also splattered the card front using white paint – one of my favourite things to do!

And now to assemble the card! Using liquid adhesive, I first glued the card front onto the mat, then the mat onto my mini slimline card base, and lastly, I glued the sentiment and worm image onto the card.
