Set of Four Easter Cards

 

Hi Friends!

This week the Design Team at Stamp Simply are sharing Easter cards and I decided to create a quick set of four cards reflecting the true meaning of Easter.

I love the Craft Consortium Ink Drops paper and used the new Sunset and  Rose 6x6 paper pads for this set of cards.

I hope you have time to check out the rest of the projects from the Design Team – gorgeous inspiration by all!

The set of cards was created by die cutting and embossing the larger cross from the Stamp Simply Steel Dies- Crosses from the Sunset and  Rose Ink Drops paper.

After cutting out the crosses, an additional set of two crosses were die cut from black cardstock to mount behind each cross. This gives more stability to the cross for mounting later.

The ink drops background paper was trimmed to 3 ¾” x 5” and the verse sentiments from He Has Risen or Easter were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder before adhering the entire panel to black cardstock.

Once the black cardstock was trimmed, the panel was mounted onto a white card base.

The inside was decorated with a 1 ½” piece of the same ink drops paper mounted onto black cardstock (I do not like to see designer paper go to waste).

The layered cross was mounted with dimensional foam and a clear glitter pen was used to add shimmer to each cross.

Very easy cards to create and fairly flat for mailing.

So which set is your favorite- the Sunset or the Rose? I tend to gravitate towards the pink/purple hues but the orange/yellow in the Sunset pad are gorgeous as well!
