23 Handmade Spring Cards Ideas That Will Make Your Friends Green with Envy!

Are you feeling as excited about spring as we are?

In fact, we’re so thrilled about the idea of spring being right around the corner that we’ve already started looking for new crafts to try that will help us welcome the new season in style!

Just in case you love the idea of making spring themed crafts just as much as we do, if not more, here are 15 of the very best ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration and guidance.

1. Spring flowers in a pot

I love how this card shows flowers that you might see in a garden in the spring. The flower pot is a really cute touch, and the embossed background adds a lot of interest to the card.

I also love the way that the sentiment is broken up into two parts on this card. It makes it feel more like it’s part of the scene than just a stamp that was added to the card.

2. Sunny daisies

Daisies are the perfect spring flower! They come in so many colors and are so simple and elegant. I love the way the daisies pop against the white background.

The daisy paper is actually a piece of patterned paper from the same collection as the green leaf paper. I cut out the daisies and leaves and arranged them in the top right corner.

3. Spring tree

We love a good tree card, and this one is no exception. The tree is made with a die-cut, and the leaves are pieces of patterned paper. The background paper is embossed with a polka dot pattern, and the sentiment is a sticker. This card is so simple, but the layers of texture and pattern make it so interesting.

4. Tulips

These tulips are made from a simple heart punch! You can also use a Cricut machine to make the hearts in the perfect sizes. You can also use a tulip stamp and die set if you prefer.

I love the dimension of the tulips and how they are arranged in a circle. I used a circle die to cut out the tulip panel, and then I used the same die to cut out a circle of fun foam. I adhered the fun foam to the back of the panel to give it some dimension and then adhered the panel to the card.

5. Ladybug

This is a fun and simple card that is perfect for all of the ladybug lovers in your life! I used a die cut for the ladybug, but you could easily draw a ladybug on the front of the card with a black pen if you don’t have this die cut.

I love how the ladybug pops against the white background. I also added some black and white polka dot patterned paper to the bottom of the card to give it a little more detail.

6. Spring egg

This is another card that only takes a few minutes to make.

To make the eggs, I used a circle punch to punch out the egg shape from some scrap paper. I then used that paper as a stencil to create the eggs on the card.

I love the simple look of the eggs and the bright colors.

7. Flower bouquet

Flower bouquets are a popular image to use on spring cards. They are colorful, fun and easy to put together.

If you’re new to card making, this is a great design to start with. It’s simple, but you can make it as detailed as you’d like.

I chose to use a die cut flower bouquet, but you could easily stamp one on your card front.

Top your bouquet with a bow and you’re done!

8. Spring butterfly

Butterflies are a sure sign of spring, and this card captures them beautifully! The background is created with a stencil and some ink blending. The butterfly is made with a die cut and then covered with glitter glue.

You could even use a different die cut to create a similar card for any occasion! The gold embossed sentiment really stands out on the bright background.

9. Sunshine & flowers

For a fun twist on the traditional flower-filled spring card, try adding a big, bright sun to your design. You can easily create a sun with a circle die or punch, and add rays using the same technique as the rainbow card above.

I love the combination of yellow, orange, and pink in this card design. The bright colors are perfect for spring, and the extra sunshine will make your recipient’s day!

10. Watercolor flowers

Watercoloring is a lovely technique for card making, and it’s perfect for spring! Use a simple floral stamp and white ink to create a pattern on a piece of white cardstock, then add a simple sentiment and a few splatters of green and yellow watercolor to finish off the design.

A piece of black and white patterned paper adds a fun contrast to the colorful flowers, and a black card base makes the colors pop even more!

11. Rainbow

Rainbows are a great way to add a pop of color to any project! I used the rainbow to create a fun background for my card. I love the way the rainbow pops against the white background. I used one of my favorite dies to create a fun frame for the rainbow. The frame really makes the rainbow pop. I added a sentiment to the center of the rainbow. I love the way the colors of the rainbow blend together.

12. Spring is in the air

I love the combination of the blue and green in this card. It’s so fresh and pretty. The background was made with Distress Oxide inks and then the white heat embossed flowers were stamped on top.

The sentiment was stamped and then die cut with a speech bubble die. I love how the sentiment is the focal point of the card.

13. Spring chick

This handmade card is so stinkin’ cute! I love the way that the egg is cracked open to reveal a darling little chick. The background is made with a stencil, and the sentiment is a sticker. This card is a great example of how you can use a variety of different supplies to make a stunning card.

14. Spring bird

This handmade card is so simple yet so beautiful. The background is a bit of embossed cardstock, and the bird is a die cut. I love the added touch of the little sequins for the bird’s eye and the leaves.

15. You are my sunshine

A rainbow of color and a sweet sentiment make this handmade card design a winner for sure! You could use a sun stamp to make the sun on this card, but I love how they used a circle die and cut out colorful paper to make the sun. It adds so much texture and interest to the card.

The background of this card is created with Distress Oxide inks and a cloud stencil. You could use a cloud die to create the same look, but I love the softness of the ink blending. It’s easy to do and adds so much to the card.

16. Spring rain

Rain can be a bit of a downer, but it’s a necessary part of the spring season! It helps flowers grow and brings the beautiful greenery we love in the spring.

I love how the rainbow colors are included in this card. It’s such a fun way to incorporate color and makes the rain look more like a good thing!

17. Spring has sprung

This card is so bright and colorful! I love how the designer used the sunray stencil in the background and the sun die cut in the foreground. The bright colors make this card feel so happy and cheerful!

18. Flower border

If you’re not confident in your freehand drawing abilities, you can still make a beautiful floral card! Simply create a border of flowers and leaves around the edges of your card and then fill in the center with a sweet sentiment.

This card was made using the same technique as the previous one, but the arrangement is completely different, giving it a whole new look!

19. Spring garden

This card is so beautiful and detailed, it looks like it was painted! Instead, it was made with a combination of die-cut paper shapes and a few simple stamps. The result is a masterpiece that looks like a spring garden.

If you want to make a card like this, you’ll need to get your hands on a few different stamps and dies to create the flowers and leaves. You can also use a combination of patterned paper and solid cardstock to create the layers and dimension on the front of the card.

20. Flower corner

This card is perfect for spring and can be used for any occasion! The flower in the corner is a great way to add a pop of color to your card.

You can use any color of flowers for this card, and the background can be any color as well. I love the bright colors used here, but you could also use pastels or even a more neutral color to make the flowers stand out.

21. Spring flowers

You can never go wrong with a bouquet of flowers, and that includes a bouquet of flowers on a card! This spring card is so sweet and simple, and it’s perfect for anyone on your list.

This card is a great way to use up some of your smaller paper scraps. You can mix and match different patterns and colors to create a unique bouquet for each card you make.

22. Spring flower pot

With a few simple cuts and folds, you can create a 3D flower pot that pops out of the front of your card. Add some green cardstock to the top of the pot and a few paper flowers, and you have a simple but stunning handmade card that’s perfect for spring!

23. Spring tulips

There are so many different ways to create a beautiful tulip card. In this example, the artist used a tulip stencil to create a simple, yet bold, design.

This is a great example of how you don’t need a lot of supplies to make a beautiful card.
