Easter Card Series–Day 6

Happy Easter everyone! Here’s the final Easter Card.

Wondering why I’ve made 50 Easter cards?  They are going into gift bags that will be given to local hospice patients.  My mom is a volunteer for hospice and is working on the gift bags so I like to contribute by making all the cards.

Sorry for the off kilter pic. 

I used the negative cut from the grass die for this card.

All A Muse Supplies Used:

  • Stamps: egg-stravaganza
  • Dies: egg die & positioner and grass die
  • Cardstock: kraft, lemon, and grass
  • Ink: onyx, and sky

Happy crafting!  Hope you are able to spend that day with the ones you love.

April Studio Spotlight

April showers bring May flowers.  I hope!  My neck of the woods has had more than its share of rain lately.  I’m ready for it to be sunny so I can get outside.

Easter Card Series–Day 3

Here’s the next Easter Card.

I was itching to use the new chevron stamp set!  As you can tell from my blog design I heart chevrons.  Winking smile
To make the eggs, I stamped the pattern on to the cardstock and then used the die positioner to mark where to put the die and ran it thru my Big Shot.  If you are having problems with your dies shifting when you place the top plate on your sandwich, use a little washi tape to hold it in place.
I also used some thin pop dots and slightly thicker pop dots to add some dimension to the eggs.
All A Muse Supplies Used:
  • Stamps: egg-stravaganza
  • Dies: egg die & positioner
  • Cardstock: kraft, buttercup, and orange
  • Ink: onyx, bubblegum, orange, and sky
Happy crafting!
