I needed to get started on some Easter cards, I know
it is a ways away but I need to make 57 cards for the church so I figured I
better get going. I saw this stamp set
in the new Mini Catalog and thought it would work well for me.
The card base is Purple Posy cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8
½” and scored at 4 ¼”. The next layer is
Whisper White cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed using the Parisian
Flourish 3D Embossing Folder, I always love the beautiful affects you get with
embossing and it is one of my most favorite techniques to incorporate into
cards. I cut a scalloped oval out of a
piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measured about 3 x 4” using the largest of
the scalloped ovals from the Layering Ovals dies. I used a scrap of the Purple Posy cardstock
and punched out a label for me sentiment using the Everyday Label punch. I stamped my sentiment using Versamark ink
and then heat embossed it using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and my Heat
Tool. I stamped my crocus from the
Easter Promise stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then cut
it out using the third largest of the Layering Oval dies. I colored it using Stampin’ Blends (colors
listed below). I attached the sentiment
and the crocus element using dimensionals, this really helps the card to
pop. Finally, I did use my Wink of
Stella Glitter Brush to add some glitter to the flowers, I know you can’t see
it in photo but let me tell you it looks awesome in person and is really a
pretty cheap way to add some bling to any card.
For the inside of the card I simply cut a piece of
Whisper White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “Happy Easter”
from that same stamp set the crocus is from using Highland Heather ink.
I hope you enjoy this card. I will list the supplies I used below and you
