Grasshopper Birthday

August 14, 2023

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here on the blog today. I am totally loving the new Bugs and Butterflies collection. The new Beautiful Brights pattern cardstock and Pretty Pastels cardstock is an added bonus. Here is a card using the new patterned papers and Grasshopper die set.

Preparation:

Cut and assemble the grasshopper from the Grasshopper die set (for mine, is used some of the Pretty Pastels cardstock). Cut 2 blade of grass from the Grasshopper dies set using Beautiful Brights patterned cardstock. Cut the second largest rectangle from the Indented Stitched Rectangles die from blue cardstock. Cut an A2 card base from white cardstock. Cut a the second largest rectangle from Pretty Pastels blue patterned cardstock using the indented Rectangle die set. Cut the words “happy birthday” from the Shakers die set out of white cardstock.

Instructions:
Adhere the blades of grass to the blue patterned indented rectangle cardstock panel. Trim any excess from the blades of grass.

Adhere the grasshopper to the patterned indented rectangle cardstock panel. Tip: if you want the legs of the grasshopper for follow the curve of the blade of grass, use a blade of grass as a template to line up the legs as you are assembling the grasshopper.
