A Good Egg Happy Easter Pillow Box Project by Marion

Hello. It's Marion here with a fun little Easter project to share with you. I can't believe that Easter is rapidly approaching - where is this year going?

To create my pillow box, I first stamped a tone on tone star pattern from the Sunny Borders stamp set repeatedly across a panel of yellow card stock. It's a great way to make your own subtle patterned paper. The banner was stamped from the same set and I curved the sentiment on an acrylic block to fit into the banner. I then stamped the images from the A Good Egg stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating dies and coloured them with Copic markers.

The pillow box die is from my stash. I adhered all the images onto the pillow box and then filled it up with some yummy Easter Egg goodness. (NB: I may have sampled a few eggs while making and photographing this card. They were Lindt chocolates after all, so who could resist that?)

A Good Egg Watercolor Easter Egg Card with Heidi

Hello there!  It's Heidi here today with another fun way to use the A Good Egg stamps and coordinating dies.  As soon as I saw this set I envisioned a card using the eggs as a background print.

To color my images and background I used Zig clean color real brush markers  I heat embossed my sentiment on a strip of black cardstock and then die-cut the end using the fishtail banner dies.

A Good Egg Happy Easter Single Layer Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share with you using the stamp set A Good Egg. This set has so many cute images you can use in so many different ways. 


Sunny Studio: A Good Egg Easter Card by Melissa Bowden.


I made an Easter card with the two chicks painting the eggs in the egg carton. To create the card I first stamped the chicks, paint bucket, egg carton and paint brushes and masked them off. Starting with the images I wanted in the foreground and working my way back. With all of those masked I then masked off the bottom of the card, which would become the grass. I added a variety of blue inks and blended them together to create the sky. After that was done I removed the masks and added color to the images and the grass with Copic markers.

To finish the card off I stamped the sentiment “Happy Easter” in Versamark ink and heat embossed it using white embossing power. That completes the card for today. Thanks for stopping by!
