Happy Monday!
We are switching things up on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog this year and instead of having a designer challenge, we are now having group posts each month. Each month the group post will have a theme and some or all of the design team members will participate. For April's theme it's all about Easter Projects!
Easter is only 20 days away it's time to start thinking about creating some Easter Cards. For this month's group post, I created this cute Easter Card, perfect to give to that special someone in your life. To create my card, I've used dies from Els van de Burgt Studio, Joset Designs and ModaScrap as well as patterned paper from ModaScrap. Grab your favourite beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my card at home. You'll also want to make sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the rest of the team's projects.
To start, from the Elegant Easter Eggs - Small, die cut the plain egg, intricate egg and then use the die for the plain egg to cut the intricate egg out of the cardstock, bow and band out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Picked Raspberry Distress Ink overtop of the intricate egg. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink overtop of the intricate egg.
From the Words 3 - Happy Holidays die, die cut the Happy Easter sentiment out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Shaded Lilac Distress Ink overtop of the Happy Easter sentiment.
From the Trio of Leaves die, choose one of the leaves. Die cut one of the leaves four times out of White Soft Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Spun Sugar Distress Ink overtop of the leaves.
Choose four flowers from the Small Flower Set. Die cut two of the flowers twice each out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut two of the other flowers twice each out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the centers of the flowers twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Picked Raspberry Distress Ink overtop of three of the flowers and three centers. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Shaded Distress Ink overtop of the three flowers and three centers.
Die cut two of the small Entwined Circles out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.
Choose two pieces of patterned paper from ModaScrap's Butterfly Dream Paper Pack. Die cut the 4 3/4" Dashing Square out one of the patterned papers. Cut the other patterned paper down to 4 1/4" x 4 1/4". Ink the edges of both papers using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 4 1/4" Dashing Square out of Kraft Cardstock. In the top right corner, tear some of the cardstock down. In the bottom left corner, tear some of the cardstock up. Ink the edges of the square using Black Soot Distress Ink with a blending tool and foam.
Adhere the kraft cardstock square to the 4 1/4" patterned paper square. Foam square the 4 1/4" kraft cardstock square to the 4 3/4" square.
Adhere the first entwined circle to the middle of the kraft cardstock square. Adhere the other entwined circle overtop of the first entwined circle.
Adhere the intricate egg together. Foam square the intricate egg to the middle of the entwined circles.
In the bottom right side of entwined circle, adhere three flowers and two leaves. In the top left side of the entwined circle, adhere the other three flowers and two leaves. In the bottom left hand corner of the cardfront, adhere the Happy Easter.
To finish off your card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4 3/4" x 9 1/2", score at 4 3/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Here are a few closeups of the card.
