Easter Promise – Karen's Stamping Page

Today, I’m sharing another Easter card. This one features the Well Written dies.

The color palette was inspired by the Sunday Stamps Spring Fever color challenge.

When I think of Easter, the pretty pastel colors come to my mind. So, using these brighter colors for an Easter card was a fun change for me. I started with a piece of the burlap print from the Pressed Petals DSP for the background. It’s adhered to a Very Vanilla card base. Next, I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Soft Suede layer. The Well Written dies were used to cut the stems from Granny Apple Green cardstock and the small flowers and butterfly from Calypso Coral cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Promise stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it out using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I felt that the card still needed some extra little details and decided lace and pearls work well with burlap. I took a piece of the Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim and adhered it to the back of the sentiment in a zigzag fashion. This is popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, pearls were added to the center of the flowers and butterfly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the Stamp It Group Blog Hop! I hope you are all staying healthy during this pandemic, and am glad you are taking time to be inspired by our Easter and Spring creations. A bright spot in these days of sheltering at home is to take walks outside and enjoy seeing the bulbs blooming and lawns starting to turn green – signs that spring is on the way.

Today, I’m sharing an Easter card featuring the Easter Promise stamp set and Petal Labels Dies.

To make this card:

Start with a Soft Sea Foam card base.
Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock. Center the large Petal Labels die on this piece and run through a die cutting machine.
Using the leftover center piece from the die cut, center the sentiment and stamp in Basic Gray ink. Cut it out with the second largest oval die in the Stitched Shapes Dies collection.
Color the flowers using Stampin’ Blend Markers in the following colors – Dark Mint Macaron, Light Highland Heather, and Light Daffodil Delight.
Cut a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Soft Sea Foam DSP. Adhere this behind the die cut flowers.
Cut a 20″ piece of Whisper White Flax Ribbon. Pull out two strands of the ribbon and tie around this layer.
Adhere this to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, pop up the sentiment also with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Inside the card, I used the Stamparatus to position the small cross next to the Easter sentiment. These are stamped onto a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Basic Gray ink. The small leaves are colored with the Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends marker.

I decided to try a couple of other color combinations.

The Purple Posy card has a piece of the Embossed Vellum from Saleabration behind the flowers. The Petal Pink card uses the gingham design behind the flowers with the Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon tied around it.
