I hope you are excited for today's Sneak Peek and our Day 2 GIVEAWAY (details below)!
Today I am sharing another new stamp set with matching die from our February Collection. This one is called Eggs. The stamp set comes with two eggs plus the sentiment Happy Easter for only $12.99. The Eggs in this set are the same size so there's one die that will work with both images.
For this first card, I die cut the egg from a piece of white cardstock and then foam mounted it over our script patterned paper (Fiesta Assorted 6" x 6" paper pack). For a finishing touch, I added a pink bow from the Spring Scene stamp set with matching die set that I shared yesterday.
This next card was a process of trial and discovery. I am very pleased with the end result. The gold piece was made by directly applying VersaMark ink to Kraft cardstock and then embossing with Gold. I love the texture and the color. I then die cut the egg from the gold piece I made. I used the new "Fauna" washi tape, also from the February Collection, to the card base. So cool!
One of my favorite things about living where there is no snow on the ground in March/April is that you can hide Easter eggs outside in the grass! In Canada, where I grew up, that was not the case so the Easter Bunny had to find clever hiding spots indoors. Here I cut the egg from the polka dot patterned paper that is in the Everything's Rosy 6" x 6" assorted pack. I used the tall, wild grass from the Springtime Day stamp set and then added some additional green elements from the Spring Scene stamp set (with matching die) to add a bit of dimension. Happy Easter is from the Say it With Style stamp set and I used one of the Word Window dies to give it a fancy shape. Hello Spring!
For this last card, I'm going to share two variations because I can't decide which one I like better - the one with the bow, or without.
To make the egg, I stamped it with Ocean ink and then used a Quickie Glue Pen and Mermaid glitter. So sparkly!
Here's the bow...

My favorite things to make are cards. For Christmas I bundle up 12 or so and give as a gift they can use year round. They get to see and use my cards and pass them along to someone else saving them money in the process. I find it's a very good stress relief.
Posted by: Amy Richey | 01/29/2015 at 06:24 AM
That last card is a stunner! Layouts are probably my favorite thing to make, but I end up making way more cards.
