Are you ready for a new spring love? With the new "Sweet Paper Crush" design paper pad, you may not have butterflies in your stomach, but you will have a wonderfully glittering swarm of butterflies on paper. Whether spring flowers, birdsong or simply cute designs - even if the warm days are still a long way off, you're sure to wake up gently from your DIY hibernation with these shiny papers.

So that you can easily recreate the spring fever out of paper, simply download the templates and get started. From greeting cards and paper flowers to flower wreaths - you'll find everything you need to make the warm season even more beautiful among the templates.

Paper Art flower wreath

Flowers are a must in spring. The paper art flower wreath not only looks magical, it is also very easy to care for: paper flowers are guaranteed never to lose their heads. At first glance, the wreath may seem complicated, but even if you're not a DIY pro, it will bloom just as beautifully. With our template and step-by-step instructions, you can make the flower wreath quickly and hopefully enjoy it for a long time to come.

Here's how to make it:

Download the template, print it out and cut out the individual parts, then carefully separate the gray cardboard (the back) from your block.
Transfer the ring template to the block and cut out the ring with a cutter knife. You can cover the ring with a motif paper of your choice or leave the natural look of the gray cardboard.
Now transfer the template for the large and small leaves to the pattern paper of your choice and cut them out. We used 5 small and three large leaves for our wreath. To achieve a nice 3D effect, grab your folding bone and make a groove in the middle of the leaves. Now you can unfold them.
Next, transfer the template for the flowers to your design paper and cut them out. We have made 3 small and 1 large flower for our wreath. You can also achieve a nice effect here by making a groove in the middle of the petals with the folding bone. We have marked the folded areas in the template with a dotted line.
For the flower stamp, simply cut a small rectangle out of the motif paper. Next, cut a fringe into the long side of the paper.
Now coat the inside with craft glue and roll up the paper. Then stick the finished stamp in the middle of your flower. Now you can arrange your flowers and leaves on the wreath to your liking and stick them on your ring.
You can hang your wreath on your wall or door with jute cord or another gift ribbon.

Butterfly garland

The sun is showing its warm side and small parties are moving from the living room to the balcony? With a butterfly ribbon, you can conjure up a pretty decoration in just a few minutes. This DIY is as easy as summer feels.

Here's how to make it:

Download the template and cut out the butterfly. Transfer the butterfly to the motif paper of your choice and cut it out. We recommend 10 to 12 butterflies for a garland that you can hang on the railing or place on the table.
To create a 3D effect, make a groove in the middle of the butterfly with your folding bone and fold it up slightly. Make small cuts in the butterfly to the left and right of the fold with the craft knife.
Now thread the butterflies onto a jute cord or other gift ribbon at the small incisions. To prevent the butterflies from slipping, you can fix them in place with craft glue.

Paper Art-Rose

Want to make it rain paper roses for your loved ones? With paper flowers, your rain of roses is guaranteed not to fall through. Cutting out the rose petals may be hard work, but it's worth the effort. Not only do paper roses last longer, their look can definitely keep up with natural roses.

Here's how to make them:

Download the template and cut out the individual parts for your rose. Transfer the template to the motif paper of your choice and cut out the leaves.
Now arrange the 5 large rose petals in a circle so that they overlap and glue them in place. Repeat this step with the small rose petals. To make the leaves look as natural as possible and create a delicate 3D effect, fold the leaves in slightly at the bottom with your thumb.
Now glue the circle of small rose petals onto the circle of large rose petals.
Cut out a large and a smaller circle for the flower stamp. You can use coins to help you here. Cut small fringes into the large circle.
Then use a 3D adhesive pad to stick the small circle onto the large circle. Now you can stick your flower stamp onto the rose.

3D greeting card

If you don't just want to say big words for birthdays and the like, but also let deeds speak for themselves, a card made with love is just the thing. With a touch of 3D, glossy paper and a small message of love, small joys quickly become big ones. The basis for the 3D greeting card is a folded card. We have folding card sets in all colors. Of course, you can also cut a folding card in the standard size (10.5 x 15 cm) from the motif paper.

This is how it's done:

Download the template and cut out the individual parts for the card. Transfer the template for the frame of your card to a motif paper of your choice and cut it out.
Then transfer the circle to a piece of design paper and cut this out too. Instead of our template, you can also use a flower wreath from the folia block.
Now stick the frame and the circle to the folded card using 3D adhesive pads. Then transfer the butterfly to a motif of your choice and cut this out too.
To create a 3D effect, use your folding bone to make a groove in the middle of the butterfly and fold it up slightly. Now stick the butterfly onto your card too.
