Easter Basket

For this card I started with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of white card stock and used one of the newly released stamps from SweetStamps.com the 5001 Three Stripes Border and Nassau Blue Shades Dye Ink to create the striped background, then layered this to a piece of blue card stock.  The Bunny and Chick border B171 the DL214 Spring Basket #1 and the B126 Grass Border are from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I cut the basket once in brown and again in blue (for this one I carefully took the paper out of the die so the pieces would stay in place then layered the brown basket on top of it).  For the border I layered a lighter blue paper behind the border to accent the bunnies and chicks.  I flocked the Bunny using a Quickie Glue pen to adhere the flock.  The eggs were stamped using the 2011 Striped Egg in Nassau Blue ink on paper from the Journey Authentique 6x6 paper pack and hand cut.

I added some Sugar Sand to the stripes on the eggs using the Quickie Glue pen to adhere the Sugar Sand.  Foam dots were used to attach the the eggs and bunny.  For the inside I stamped 2017 Pop Up Bunny with Brownie Shades Dye ink and stamped 2008 Eggs-stra Special Easter in Nassau Blue ink.

For the second card I added the DL191 Celtic Chain Mega Doily and the DL112 Mini Exotic Butterfly & DL 112A Angel Wings from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The plaid background is the

5001 Three Stripes Border.

Easter 2011

These are the Easter cards I made for my family.  The cards were made using Starform stickers that were colored with Starform markers.

The stamps are from SweetStamps.com.  I used Scalloped Overlays from Paper Cut and dies from Cheery Lynn Designs for the Scalloped and Coved rectangles.  The Dots embossing folder is from Crafts Too.

Girl with Bunny

For this card I used a 4 1/4" x 11 piece of white cardstock.  I used a score-it board and scored it 4 1/2" in from one end and 1 1/2" in on the opposite end (This piece will form the flap on the card).  I used embossing folders from Craft's Too and embossed the 4 1/2" section using the Small Flowers #3022 and the  1 1/2" section using the Dots 5x5 #3014.  I attached the 7/8" turquoise satin ribbon over the right side of the card and the 1/8" ribbon to the edge of the dotted flap. I cut the three Coved Rectangles from the Cheery Lynn design Little Stackers LST007.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the Girl with Bunny stamp from SweetStamps.com and colored her in using Copic markers (B00, B02, BG01, E000, E23, E30, E31, E34 & R20).  I layered the Coved Rectangles to the card leaving the bottom portion free of adhesive so the lower flap could be tucked under.  The flower is made from some petals I had in my stash of things held together with a pearl brad from American Crafts Elements.
