Easter Cards

 


Easter cards are some of my favorite cards to make. Full of Spring and colorful florals,
and of course faith. 
This latest release of the Greetery's goodies were full of joy... spring, florals and 
Easter symbols and sentiments!

This past weekend I spent some time creating with the Greetery's Print Shop: Florals
Frames and the sentiment Empty Grave. 


The 3 cards are more or less experiments with the stamp set, playing with Betsy's enclosed
stencils and dies.


 A one layer card with blues and greens, and a little marigold for berries. You can't miss
with the stencil layering, so easy, and the center is perfect for your greeting.


2nd card was done with the die that cuts the floral frame, and I stamped some 
enclosed berries in strategic places around and under the leaves and flowers. I added some 
Nuvo drops, (wish I hadn't),  and lifted the die cut with foam.


3rd card is a mix of stenciling and stamping first on the card base, upside down, then
attaching the foam lifted top right side up onto the card. The idea wasn't mine, I 
found inspiration from the Greetery's 'Lookbook'. I masked off the center sentiment,
and added a few splatters.


The sentiment is gold embossed, and I'd love to share a shade of gold I found, new
to me, from Ranger, called Princess Gold. It's the best gold I've used yet! I found mine
at Hobby Lobby. 


Have a wonderful week, hope your Easter season is full of God's Grace!

The Card Concept: Warm Winter Wishes


Hi and welcome to a blog post celebrating one of my favorite card challenges, 
The Card Concept. You are given an inspiration photo and several styles
to choose from, and you create a card with that style, or one of your own. Yes,
you can combine styles too.




The neutrals and wood inspired my card. I used the Greetery's Halvsies die and ran it
through a wood embossing folder. 
Oopsie Daysies (the Greetery) provided the bouquet.


Our challenges are for 2 weeks, and the winner has a guest designer spot on the blog.

Hope your weekend is extra craft.
