If you like purple or know someone who does, I think you will love this Flowering Fields Fresh Freesia Easter Card! Of course, the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper (the tulip paper, I like to call it!) is so pretty to use on cards! I chose this purple-ish floral tulip pattern to use on this card and I like how it turned out!

The card base is Fresh Freesia, one of the coordinating colors with the Flowering Fields Paper and one of the 2021-2023 In Colors. These colors will be sticking around for another year but the 2020-2022 In Colors will be retiring.

A fancier way to do this card front is to cut the designer paper into strips rather than have a solid piece. These pieces are 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and fit perfectly on the Rich Razzleberry layer that is 5″ x 3 3/4″. You can just eyeball the spacing, making sure it is as even as possible. Lay it out before you glue to make sure everything fits properly! I wanted the Fresh Freesia color to show so I made the margin wider than we usually do.

Before adhering the Rich Razzleberry layer with the strips of designer paper, I wrapped around a piece of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon. I wanted some ribbon on the card but not something that was going to overwhelm the tulips so this ribbon was perfect. It’s there but you can see through it and it adds a little bit to the card design.

For the greeting, I happened to have the die cut already in my package of Rich Razzleberry cardstock so I wondered it that would be good to use. The “Happy Easter” greeting is in the Celebrating You Stamp Set. This is a great stamp set to have with some basic greetings you will be glad that you have! I stamped it in Rich Razzleberry ink on Fresh Freesia cardstock. I thought Basic White might be too stark against the card since it didn’t have any other white on the card.

The die set I used is the Meadows Dies for the little label with the fancy ends. As I said, I already had one cut in my cardstock so I used that for the layer. After stamping the Easter greeting I cut it with the same die. Then I very carefully trimmed off the curvy ends, leaving the stitching. It just barely fits on the Rich Razzleberry layer even though it overlaps the fancy ends a tiny bit. Then I tied a knot on each end with the Fresh Freesia ribbon, which kind of obscures the die cut, but I still like it. The greeting is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Here is my first Easter card of the season, a Z-Fold card, but it uses another paper in the Flowering Fields package with similar tulips as on this card except in orange colors.

Because you don’t have to figure out the measurements for a card like this, just copy mine, this card will be easy for you to make! It really didn’t take much time. Easter is less than a month away now, so make some of those pretty Easter cards to send like this Flowering Fields Fresh Freesia Easter card.
