Sometimes when you want an idea for a card, it’s okay to copy yourself! Recently, I made an Easter card like this one and I liked it so much I had to keep it for myself! But then I thought I should just make another one to mail. In the process, I came up with this slightly different design which I also like a lot!
The card base is Polished Pink Cardstock and so is the first layer. Polished Pink is one of the current 2021-2023 In Colors that will be retiring. However, Fresh Freesia, in that group, will be added to the lineup of regular colors!
I used three of the Radiating Stitches Dies for this card to form the layers. Stampin’ Up! made these dies so that they DO layer in the right sizes! They add a different look and some texture to your cards and projects. They are unorderable right now as I write this but hopefully, they will be back in stock soon.
The next layer is Parakeet Party, one of the 2022-2024 In Colors that is staying for another year! The designer paper in the center is one of the patterns in the Flowers & More package, available as a Host Reward in the Spring Mini. Look on page 90. I thought the little lines of colors looked perfect for an Easter card!
The bunny is part of the Easter Bunny Stamp Set. He is stamped in Memento Ink and then has a few colors of Stampin’ Blends markers added to give him a little color and shading. He’s also holding a carrot, one of the cute extras in the Easter Bunny Stamp Set. I just cut the bunny and carrot out by hand with my Paper Snips scissors. It’s really not difficult at all. The bunny and carrot are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, both the regular size and the mini black ones.
The greeting is also from the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and is stamped and diecut with the smallest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The “Happy Easter” greeting JUST fits on there! The greeting is also popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. For a little bling, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
Whether you like the Orchid Oasis card I made with the Radiating Stitches Dies or this one with the Polished Pink colors and a different Easter Bunny, I think both are cute for Easter. Take off the bunny and add some flowers and foliage or some other image and you can change the card for another occasion!
