Easter Greeting

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me from the Card A Day Blog.  This week the theme is Easter and I'm using the bunny and greeting from the February {Grow into Spring} kit.

 

I started by stamping the Bunnie with chocolate ink and cutting him out.  I then cut a 3" circle and used the Loop corner punch to go around the circle to make a pretty mat.  The white circle is cut at 2".  The white cardstock is embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder.  I used the EK Success 2 Point Flag to punch the flag end only and trimmed down the white cardstock

I used the corner and edge punch on the for the green paper. Tip - the green border is in two pieces and the bottom edge is lined up to match then the stripe paper is layered on top. You can see all the layers from the side.  I stamped the Bunnie again and added him to the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Easter

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me from the Card A Day Blog.  Today I have an egg shaped Easter Card to share with you. 

I used the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge to cut my egg card base, the inside liner and the outside pattern paper. I inked all of the edges with the burgundy ink.  I layered a few flowers on top, made a bow, then added the pearls.  I stamped the sentiment, cut it into a banner shape and added a few pearls.  There are a few pop up dots behind it to give it more dimension.

For the inside I stamped the Easter egg with the flowers on the edge of the mat. 

 

The stamps are from Studio G and only say Series 47 on the back of them.  I think I probably got them out of the dollar bin as they are pretty small. 

Thanks for stopping by.
