Easter is coming right on the heels of St. Patrick's Day. The turnaround to make a plethora of cards is short. So, I decided to create an easy Easter card that would be quick and fun. Pictured below are my Easter Egg cards.
I used the Stampin' Up Oval Framelits to cut both the main card and the layer of dsp. To get the scalloped card, just score a 51/2" x 81/2" piece of Whisper White c.s.
at 41/4. Place the largest Oval Framelit – the scallop one, so that
the top of the framelit is just barely off your card. Run it through
the Big Shot. Simple , huh! But how fun to have a card shaped like an Easter Egg!
The inside of the card is a case from p. 23 of the Stampin' Up Spring Occassions Mini catalog. A bunny and the eggs from the stamp set A Little Bit of Spring were stamped with Black Staz On Ink. Then I colored the images with a Blender Pen and various ink pads.
When I finished, I felt like my cards needed asomething else. I finally settled on a ribbon bow with the tag stamped from Tiny Tags and punched with the Jewelry Tag Punch. A bit of Whisper White Bakers Twine made short work of attaching the tag to the bow.
Now to get the cards addressed and in the mail!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Your comments are important to me. I do read each and every one.
Wowzers! My computer has given me absolute fits today. I have tried all day to get my post done but computer issues have prohibited that from happening until now.
At the end of this post, I will announce the winner of my blog candy. So, please read to the end to see if you won.
Now that Sale-A-Bration is over, Stampin' Up! is offering more fun projects. I am so excited about this that I am ordering mine today. The idea of decorating my journal to suit me and then using it to jot down my daily "happenings", thoughts, things my Grandchildren say, whatever – you get the idea, sounds like fun!

Now for the Blog Candy winner. Drumroll please…………….
I
really love your card – and past ones where you used the dress dies and
stamp set. There are just so many ways to design your dress – it's
amazing. Love the "Ginger Snaps" -think it's a great name. Thanks for
the chance at the blog candy. Do not have that stamp set. 🙂

Congratulations Bernice! Please email me your address so I can get your prize in the mail to you.
Tomorrow I will post the Easter cards that I made last night. Be sure to stop back tomorrow.
Several days ago, I posted a dress card made with the dress framelits. I liked the card but I commented that I wish that I had used an embossed piece of very vanilla cardstock behind the dress. Well, I made the change and now I would appreciate it if you told me which card you prefer. First I will show the card redo and then the original card.
Now for the original post.
Just scroll down to the original post to see the supplies used. Please let me know which card you prefer.
