Easter - Right as Rain

Spellbinders Expressions of Spring

Hello! I was recently a guest post author on the Spellbinders blog showcasing cards created with the Expressions of Spring Collection. There’s nothing quite like a change of seasons, and spring brings a new color palette and images.

I hope you’ll hop over to the post (pun intended) to read about the collection and the cards I created, as well as leave a comment!

Supplies:

Die-cut Easter Chicks

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS spring- or Easter-themed card featuring chicks cut with the Karen Burniston Spring Animals set. I used this set last year on this card and this one.

I die-cut the chicks, egg, and accessories and assembled them. I used a Paper Smooches set (Bees) to cut the small eye.
I added the chicks to a patterned paper background.
I stamped a Lawn Fawn greeting and cut it with a banner die. I only have a few Easter stamps and decided this sentiment worked just fine.
I cut a mat for the patterned paper square and added the assembly to a patterned paper card base. (Both from the Echo Park I Love Spring pad.)

Supplies:

Die-Cut Easter Bunnies

Hello! Today I am sharing an Easter card created with a Freshly Made Sketches Challenge sketch from last year. I was particularly fond of the sketch. You can see my original card using the sketch here.

I die-cut the Poppystamps bunnies from yellow, pink, and blue cardstock.
I die-cut the now-retired MFT fence from white cardstock. I trimmed the fence to be the width of the three bunnies.
I cut the patterned paper pieces and adhered them to a card base on which I had printed Happy Easter on my computer printer.
I added yellow Taylored Expressions Enamel Dots in the upper-right corner.

Supplies: SU Strawberry Slush cardstock (retired), Poppystamps Fuzzy Bunnies (retired), Poppystamps Bunny Buddies (retired)

Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunny

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed card created with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunny die. He looks like he’s already full of carrots!

I die-cut the bunny from Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock and a Stampin’ Up pink carstock, which is now retired. I used the eye dies from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin set for the bunny’s eye (the Bunny die set simply places an indent in the eye area), and I added cheeks cut with a hole punch.
I propped the bunny on to a stack of greenery cut with the ECD Forest Accessories set.
The sentiment is from a now-retired MFT stamp set. I don’t own a lot of Easter or bunny stamp sets, so this one is in heavy rotation at this time of year!
I cut the background gingham paper with an oval die made by Taylored Expressions and added the assembly to a patterned paper card base (also from the Echo Park I Love Spring pack).

I used the Festive Wreaths Slider Card to create a gift card slider card, cutting the pieces from patterned paper and solid cardstock. The area revealed easily fits a gift card. I used a Starbucks gift card because that’s one of my favorite gift cards to receive!

I die-cut the bunny, carrot, and flowers with the March Small Die of the Month kit.
I used the negative piece of the carrot to trace the carrot shape on to patterned paper which I glued behind the carrot frame.

I attached the rabbit and flowers, as well as the carrot tops, to the carrot and then attached the assembled to the slider.
I stamped a sentiment on to white cardstock, cut it with a rectangular die, and added that to the top part of the insert.
The lower portion accommodates the gift card. I added twine through the hole of the insert with which to pull the insert.
