So here's the lesson plan:
Step 1: Creating the Striped Background
First, let’s bring that gorgeous rainbow-striped background to life.
-
Grab your Simon Says Stamp Wide Stripes Background Stamp and your favorite spring ink colors.
-
Ink up the stamp in sections, overlapping each color slightly into the next for a smooth ombré effect.
-
Stamp it onto a white cardstock panel, and BAM—instant Easter vibes!
Pro Tip: If you want super crisp lines, use a MISTI stamping tool to line things up perfectly!
Step 2: Die-Cutting the Sentiment
Now, let’s cut out our "Happy Easter" sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Bouncy Happy Easter Die.
-
Die-cut the sentiment three times—once from white glitter cardstock and again from white cardstock so that you can add dimension to the die cut.
-
Layer them together with a tiny dab of liquid glue, and layer onto a shadow of Vellum.
Step 3: Adding the Floral Details
Time to get a little fancy with the Aurora Blooms Greenery Dies.
-
Die-cut the leaves from plain white cardstock (I love the clean, elegant look).
-
Arrange them around your sentiment, tucking a few under the words for a natural, organic feel.
-
Attach them with a mix of foam tape and glue for varied dimension.
Bonus Tip: Add a couple of tiny white die-cut flowers for extra sweetness!
Step 4: Assembly Time!
We’re almost done! Now, let’s put it all together.
-
Adhere your striped background to a white A2 card base.
-
Pop your Happy Easter sentiment in the center using foam tape for depth.
-
Arrange and secure the die-cut greenery around the sentiment.
-
Finally, sprinkle some white enamel dots or tiny pearls for a finishing touch.
I just LOVE how fresh, bright, and happy this card turned out. The combo of pastel stripes, glittery die cuts, and delicate florals is giving all the springtime vibes! Whether you send this to a friend, family member, or display it on your Easter table, it’s sure to bring a smile.
