Hello friends, Bobbi here! Today,
I’m sharing a card for the Easter holiday. I’m using the Chickie Baby stamps (coordinating dies here) and a
few carrot images from the Bunnyville stamps set
(coordinating dies here). I’m
also using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies for
the grassy hills and the Spring Fever paper pad for
the grass.
This card measures 6″ wide X 5″ tall and fits inside a 5″ X 7″ envelope. I used this shorter width so that my 6″ square Spring Fever paper covered the full width at the bottom. This card could also be made into the popular, A2-size card with no seams, too. I just happen to like a bigger card to give.
I started by splattering my card front panel with watercolors. Using the grassy border from the Slimline Nature Borders dies and the grass pattern paper from the Spring Fever paper pad, I cut a couple rolling hills. I used two layers to make a foreground and background in the scene. I blended on some green Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink at the bottom for interest.
Next
I stamped, colored (see colors below) and cut out my chicks, basket and the
carrot images. I turned the large carrot on its side, punched out half of a
5/8″ circle and added two 3/8″ black wheels to make the carrot into a car. Now
my chick fits inside perfectly and is ready to travel home for the holidays! Do
you see his home?!

Hey
friends! Cathy here today and I’ve got a sweet Easter card to share with you using
the beautiful Easter Wishes Stamps.
I started this
card with a soft embossed look to the card front using the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies.
This technique takes a little bit of time, but I think the results are worth
it. First, I cut an A2 sized piece of ivory cardstock and die-cut a second
piece of ivory cardstock twice using the quatrefoil portion of the dies. I
placed a die-cut quatrefoil frame over the A2 cardstock piece as a guide and
began adhering the inner quatrefoil pieces to the cardstock. I moved the frame
as needed until I had completely covered the A2 piece. Where pieces overlapped
the edges, I carefully trimmed them along the edges of the A2 piece with
scissors. I then adhered the cardstock to an A2 card base.Next, I worked
on a sunrise sky. I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a Stitched Oval Die and
then I die-cut a Stitched Circle Small Die from
Eclipse masking tape. I placed the circle towards the bottom of the oval
die-cut as a mask for the sun and inked from the bottom working up to the top
of the oval with Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Scattered Straw, Tattered
Rose and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks. I then removed the circle, placed the
negative portion of the circle die-cut masking tape over the sky and inked the
sun with Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink.
For the bottom
grass portion, I die-cut a second piece of white cardstock with the same Stitched Oval Die and
inked the bottom half of the oval with Twisted Citron Distress ink. I placed a
smaller Stitched Oval Die across the bottom third of the oval and die-cut the
piece. I then adhered it to the bottom of the oval sky piece.
Next, I stamped
the images from the Easter Wishes Stamps on
Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and
die-cut them using the coordinating dies. To finish, I
die-cut a flower from the Botanical Backdrop Die from
white cardstock, colored it with Copics and added a stamped/die-cut leaf from
the Cherry Blossoms Stamps and Dies.
I hope you
enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my
