Limited Edition Easter 2019 Card Kit

Hi there! Hippity hoppin’ in to share the latest Limited Edition Eggstra Sweet Easter 2019 card kit by Simon Says Stamp!

SSS-Nested Eggs, Eggstra Sweet Easter

For my first card I went to town with the Nested Egg dies. I layered the negative eggs using solid colored cardstock. This card really has fantastic dimension, but it is thick. I’m not gonna lie. I had to try it though. I just wanted to see what it would look like. I love how it looks, but this would have to be a hand delivered card I think. For the sentiment I used the Eggstra Sweet Easter stamp set.

This next card uses the Jelly Bean background cling stamp. I used Fresh Mint ink onto Sea Glass cardstock. Then I stamped the image from Esggstra Sweet Easter and colored it with Copics.

I fussy cut the image out and popped it up with foam tape onto the jelly bean background. The sentiment is also from Eggstra Sweet Easter, and the sequins are Lucky Shamrock.

Fresh Bloom Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their Fresh Bloom release blog hop!

SSS-Triangle Element,CZ Design-You Got This

My project features the Triangle Element die. I die cut several out of white cardstock and stacked them up using spray adhesive for added dimension.

SSS-Triangle Element,CZ Design-You Got This

I blended distress inks onto a panel of white cardstock using Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet & Salty Ocean and then ran it through with the Triangle Element die. I inlayed the ink blended triangles into the white die cut on a navy background. The contrast of this on the navy absolutely toots my flute!

For the sentiment I used the You Got This stamp & die set. Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
