For God So Loved

 

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a great week!    With Easter approaching at the end of March, our Design Team has been creating Easter and spring encouragement cards this week on the Stamp Simply blog.  

For my Easter card, I decided to pull out two stamp sets- Salvation (for the verse sentiment) along with the  Get Well Tulip Stamp/Die Bundle and paired them with the pink gingham pattern from the Echo Park My Favorite Easter paper pad and other accessories from Stamp Simply.

To create this card:

De-static the upper right hand area of a 4” x 5 ⅛” piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the verse sentiment from the Salvation stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim two pieces of the pink gingham My Favorite Easter paper – one approx. 3.75” x 3” and the other approx. 3.75” x 1”.

Mount the larger piece onto the bottom half of the verse panel.

Adhere the layered card front to a piece of 4” x 5 ¼” piece of black white cardstock.

Trim and mount onto a white 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base.

Die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Tim Holtz Crochet Die.

Adhere the smaller piece of designer paper (from above- 1” x 3.75”) onto white cardstock. 

Trim and adhere the die cut paper lace behind the panel before mounting onto the card front.

De-static another piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the tulip from the Get Well Tulip Bundle with Versamark Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color the tulip with water-based markers.

Die cut the tulip with the coordinating die and cut two additional tulips from white cardstock to layer behind the colored image.

Adhere the tulip to the card front using dimensional foam.

Add a few pearls to the upper right hand and lower left hand corners to finish off the card.
