Julie - This super cute Easter card started with an embossed backdrop, nothing in particular, just use anything that makes you hoppy! The center stage for the card uses a piece of cloud printable paper from Pretty Spring Paper, cut at 4 1/8 x 2 7/8. Use a random die cut to create a small layer of grass that can be added to the bottom edge with foam tape. Tuck a fence or any little scene builder pieces you may have in your stash in behind the grass border. Cut a 1 inch x 4 1/8 piece of the dotted paper in the Pretty Spring Paper pack —cut it with pretty much any border die (or none at all) leaving about 1/2 inch sticking out glue this piece to the back of the stage layer. Wrap some twine or ribbon where the grass border meets the polka dot print and tie a bow. Print and color the Cute Bunny image, and possibly a few extra eggs. The ones from this card were cut from another Easter image. Add the Bunny image using foam tape at the top of the image and liquid glue toward the bottom to keep the bunny sitting even on the layer. Add the additional eggs. Using foam tape attach all of this to the front of the embossed layer and add a to a card base. Lastly, chose a sentiment from Easter Greetings, attach to the desired space on the card front, and add a few gems or sequins for a little added sparkle. My Blog, Instagram, Facebook
Maria - Easter is just around the corner. At last, pastel colours, cute designs and playful card shapes are back on the crafting table. I created an accordion card and really let loose with the Spring Flowers set. It includes everything we need for spring: sweet animals, Easter eggs, flowers and so much more. I coloured the images with Polychromos pencils (nos. 113, 128, 129, 132, 166, 171, 180, 186, 189, 230, 270) and added highlights using a Gelly Roll pen. I´m a sucker for doodling borders, and hello! With the Flower Fun Borders set I don’t have to draw them by hand anymore – I can simply stamp my borders straight onto the card. Love it! Here's my social media, would love you to give you a followback!: 
Mary - Hello! I wanted to show you how to make a quick card when you get bundles that have design sheets in them. First, I grabbed a cute floral paper from the bundle (printed on 8.5 x 11). Next, I folded the paper in half the long way (5.5in mark) and scored it. I folded the front portion of the paper in half also (2.75in) and scored it. Cut off about 2in (which will make the card 6in tall). You can then place this piece on your base card, but make sure you have you design facing outward or use double sided paper (you can print the paper design on both sides). You will glue to the very back and front portion of the card base. Now, you can decorate the card any way you like. I used the Winnie picture to decorate the front of the card, including the band. I cut florals and eggs to place around the card for extra depth and dimension. I cut out the paper piece with the envelope to place in the back of the card, like an inside sentiment. I used the floral band on the design sheet to decorate the band that is inside the card. I placed glittery eggs, bunnies, and chicks around the card. These came from my stash to add a little sparkle to the card! Quick, easy, and adorable!
Taty - Ready for a new challenge? For my DT inspiration, I created an Easter greeting tag. For the tag structure I used the beautiful pink checked and green striped digital patterns from the collection, Coffee Tea and Cake paper patterns bundle which I printed on 200g cardstock and cut with a die. I used the image Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots that I colored with Prismacolor pencils, whose numbers I’m sharing with you: carrots 1002-118-1033, green 912-109, flower 1001-1033, eggs 915-102-928-1014-929, pink 1014-929, gray 1059-1060-1054. The phrase entered at the base of the tag is part of the collection Winnie Celebrations 1 sentiments. I hope I have inspired you with this lovely idea for wrapping up your little Easter gifts.
