Easter 2026

 

Happy Easter!

I wanted to try and utilize more DSP (Designer Series Paper) within my cards. So, with that in mind, I chose the 'Wonderful World' DSP for these Easter cards for my family members.

I used the stamp sets 'Springtime Joy' and the sentiment from 'Celebrating You'.

Elegant Succulents

 

I've wanted to try this layout for a while now, with the focal piece being in the upper-right hand side of the card. I chose the 'Simply Succulents'  stamp set, but chose to use the 'Springtime Joy' basket stamp instead of the pot that went with the succulents set.

I paired it with the 'Painted Autumn' DSP. I added a 'Wink of Stella' to make the petals on the succulents sparkle.

Some Joy

 

Some Easter cards created for my family and friends. I chose the main colors of Soft Sea Foam, Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink.

The images were stamped using the masking technique. I stamped the basket image first. Then, stamped the basket on a scrap piece of paper and cut it out. I placed the scrap basket piece over my stamped basket on my cardstock -- then stamped the bunny.

I colored in the images using Stampin' Blends markers. The bunny is Crumb Cake and the basket is Soft Suede. To make the shadow (to ground the image), I colored a bit of Ivory under the basket and used the Color Lifter to give it a softer look.

I added 'Wink of Stella to the flowers on the bunny and also to the eggs in the basket to give it some shine.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Easter!

Springtime Moments

 

I needed a Sympathy card and wanted to change up the sympathy card that I've used for a while now. The basic background is the same with the Layered Leaves embossing folder. I matted it in Smoky Slate instead of black though.

I used the sentiment from 'Peaceful Moments' set. The butterfly is from the 'Springtime Joy' stamp set. I added a touch of 'Wink of Stella' to make the butterfly sparkle.

Note -- The ribbon is Whisper White Organdy Ribbon. I used the Smoky Slate (light) Stampin' Blends marker to color the ribbon the color that you see here. Now that I know I can change the color to match my cards.... I will be using this technique a lot!
