Good morning, Prickley Pear Pals! Do you create and send Easter cards? Today, I am sharing a beautiful Easter card that I created using the Crosses 2 Stamp Set.
I absolutely love how simple, but elegant, this collection of beautiful crosses is. There are three stamp sets along with a coordinating die set and there are sentiments for Easter, Baptism, Communion, and so many others! In fact, a friend just asked me if I had any ideas for Baptism and First Communion Cards, and I sent her after these stamp sets!
This really was a fairly simple card to create. I stamped the cross image and colored with Copic markers. I die-cut it using the
coordinating die and set it aside.
TIP: Die-cut the image from a scrap of paper before stamping the image. Place the piece of card stock that you wish to stamp on BEHIND the panel with the die-cut removed. The stamp will line up perfectly in the center of the die-cut space, and then once your image has been stamped, you can place the die in the same hole and it will line up perfectly.
I set my stamped and die-cut image aside to work on the rest of the card elements. I die-cut an oval from vellum and then I dry-embossed it with a folder from my stash to add some texture to the front of the card. I also die-cut a slightly larger oval from black card stock.
I adhered a panel of pink glittery patterned paper backed with black cardstock to the front of my card panel, followed by the black oval. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and backed it with black. I created a loopy bow from metallic black embroidery thread, and I adhered it to the back of my cross. I adhered the cross to the vellum with foam dots which provided me with a hidden place to apply my adhesive to the back of the vellum, which I then adhered to the black oval.
Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with me! I hope that you are inspired to create something beautiful today! I would love it if you shared in the comments if your family celebrates Easter, and if you do, how do you celebrate?!
Xoxo, Kim
