Embossed Easter Treat Wrappers by Jean Okimoto

 

 

Emboss and diecut ink-blended treat wrappers in bright jellybean-colors for Easter.  3-D embossing folders - Spiral Delight and Winter Knit - create abstract patterns for artsy eggs.  

Hi, Jean here with a just-in-time project for that stash of Easter candy waiting to be shared. We've used the popular 3D-emboss/brayer/heat-emboss process several times, but it's the first time I've used a winter sweater knit embossing folder to decorate Easter eggs!

Sponge heavy white cardstock with overlapping layers of bright spring colors - I've used salvaged patina, shaded lilac, squeezed lemonade and kitsch flamingo Distress Oxides.  Spritz each sponge with a light mist of water and blend the individual colors into each other to soften the shading.  Lightly spritz both sides of the ink-blended cardstock,  then pressure-emboss it using the plate(s) required for your machine.  Heat-set it if it's still moist.

Place the embossed cardstock on a hard flat surface and brayer the raised design with Wedding Dress Memento Luxe.  Heat-emboss it with Imagine's Iridescent Embossing Powder.  Cut it with the 3" tall Half a Dozen Eggs die.

Repeat the process with the Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder.  It's a great pattern for holiday sweaters, stockings, backgrounds and decor when used horizontally as intended.  Diecut it diagonally and it becomes a very intricate Easter egg motif inked in spring colors.  Brayer it with Wedding Dress Memento Luxe and heat-emboss it with iridescent powder - and it's a glittery Easter egg!

Cut white cardstock with the 2.5" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  Score and crease it at 3-5/8" and 3-7/8" to form a flat base for the treat wrapper  Attach the decorated egg.  Punch a hole at the top.  Attach a Ghiradelli chocolate square inside the wrapper with doublestick tape.  Tie the top with coordinating cord or ribbon.

Thanks for visiting our blog...Happy Easter to everyone celebrating on Sunday!

Happy Easter Gift Tag by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today I have a cute Easter tag for you that uses some new products as well as some older ones.  

I began by die cutting one of the one of the Nested Globe dies twice from white cardstock.  From one of the die cut globes, I die cut a circle towards the top of the globe and then used the Anemone Drift 3D embossing folder to add some dimension to it.

The bunny, leaves and flowers were die cut from white cardstock and colored with dye inks.

Once the bunny was assembled I glued it to the back of the die cut circle.  Next I picked a plaid patterned paper to go behind the bunny and adhered this to the other die cut globe piece.

I glued the leaves and flowers to the tag as shown.

The Happy Easter words were die cut from white cardstock and glued to a coordinating cardstock shadow die cut.  This was adhered to the tag right under the flowers.

To finish the tag, I added a ribbon to the top of the tag.

That's it for today.  I hope everyone wonderful day!

Floral Springtime Greetings by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate Easter and spring with layering dies from our 2025 Peony Collection.  Cheery  Happy Easter and Gentle Peony Bloom work perfectly with a floral garden print from the Anemone Grove 6x6 set.  Hi, Jean here with a design that also works for birthdays, thank-you's and Mother's Day with just a change of greetings.

Cut the new Gentle Peony Bloom from pale peach cardstock and a 6x6 from the Greenery collection.  Cut the stamens from the lemon-yellow Graceful Garden 6x6.

Cut the dark green, peach and white floral print from the Anemone Grove 6x6 set with the 2-5/8" wide Fringed Scalloped  Frame Set die.

Attach Scor-Tape over a piece of the Greenery 6x6 used for the leaves and cut the solid background from the Cheery Happy Easter set.  Cut the detailed top layer from  lemon-yellow cardstock.  Attach the detailed layer to the background.  Cover the exposed adhesive with detail clear embossing powder, then tap off the excess.  Heat-emboss it.  It's a timesaving way to assemble the greeting and add a glossy background.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded Key Lime cardstock A2 card - use foam dots for the greeting, leaf tips and the top petals. Cut  an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Let your Memory Box dies, 6x6 prints and cardstock do the work for you!  Make several of these cards with different prints and colors. Have them ready for when you need a quick card - and have just enough time to add the right greeting.

Thanks for visiting our blog.  Make a stash of ready-to-go cards,  and have a great weekend!

Woodland Easter Scene Card by Sara Cook

Hi everyone!  I have an Easter card with a woodland scene using a variety of dies.  This is similar to my fall woodland scene card but for spring time.

 

Background:

Die cut heavy white card stock using Pinpoint Leaf Plate cover plate die.  Ink blend the background with Distress Oxide Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.

Woodland Scene:

I used the following dies and ink combos for all the die cuts. All cut from heavy white card stock, except the leaves from the Crocosmia Stems were cut from a mid tone Green from the Leafy pack.  All dies are adhered using glue and the envelope as a reference.

Crocosmia Stems using Distress Rustic Wilderness over the green card stock and for the flowers Distress Oxide Scattered Straw.

Bird Blossoms using Distress Salty Ocean and Scattered Straw.

Mysterious Mushrooms using Distress Antique and Lost Shadow for the stems and inside.  The tops used Distress Crackling Campfire and Aged Mahogany.

Snowy Log uses Distress Vintage Photo, gathered Twigs, and Walnut Stain for the log.  For the moss (snow) issued Distress Crushed Olive and then Forest Most but use a stencil brush and pounce the ink on top.  I also used foam tape to create an opening in the log for the bunny.

1 of the Poppy Stamp Nordic Bunny Trio using Distress Antique and Gathered Twigs.  Use a black gel pen for the eyes and notice.  I also trimmed off the tall to adhere to the right side of the bunny.

Small and 2nd Smallest Half Dozen Eggs used Distress Worn Lip Stick and splatters with water to add the speckled look.

 

Assembly:

Trim cream card stock to 9" x 5 3/4".  Score and fold on 9" side at 4.5" to create a card.  Adhere the background.  Adhere the Crocosmia behind the log then adhere to the bottom center of the card.  Adhere the mushrooms around the log, tucking the tall one behind it.  Adhere the bird int eh center top of the log.  Tuck bunny inside the log peaking out.  Adhere the eggs around the bottom of the log.  Die cut the Cheery Happy Easter die from white card stock.  Ink blend the bottom die cut using Distress Salty Ocean.  Adhere the bottom and top together and adhere to the top right corner of the card.

Happy Easter by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.   I’m baaack 😂, and I have a CAS (clean and simple) Easter card featuring fabulous products from the current 2025 Peony release.   

Most of the image pieces were die cut from white; the bunny wasL die cut from light gray cardstock as well.  All were ink blended with distress inks (DI) for shading and dimension  

DI used:

branch - Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn

buds - Brushed Corduroy added at the base

bunny - Lost Shadow, Picked Raspberry for earl/tummy

 

The sentiment was die cut from pink cardstock and Picked Raspberry DI was applied to the bottoms for an ombré look.  Looks like I was a bit heavy handed and looks red…oops 😆  Next, the largest Cherish Heart was die cut from white woodgrain paper twice with the woodgrain running horizontally and stacked them for dimension.  Arranged and adhered tge elements into an A2 size white woodgrain panel with the woodgrain running vertical then mounted it onto a white card base to finish.   

That wraps it up for me this weekend.  Hope you have a wonderful week.

Spring Garden Greetings by Jean Okimoto

Spring has finally arrived - leaves and buds are appearing and days are getting longer.  Give the garden a headstart with the new Crocosmia Stems from our latest release.  Hi, Jean here with an Easter design for the new season.

Cut the blossoms and buds from the Crocosmia Stems set - and an extra blossom - from a Raspberry Sorbet Paper Pack sheet.   Cut the centers from the green Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6.  Cut the leaves from a medium-green Greenery 6x6.

Cut the green plaid - from the Fuchsia Plaid 6x6 - with the largest die from the Half a Dozen Eggs set.  Cut a light green 6x6 from the Greenery 6x6 with the second-largest egg die.

Attach ScorTape to the light green Greenery 6x6 and cut it - tape-side-up - with the background die from the Cheery Happy Easter set.  Cut the detailed top layer of the greeting from the  medium-green 6x6.  Save the outline diecut for another project - and carefully attach the words to the adhesive-covered background.  Cover it with detail clear embossing powder, tap off the excess and heat-emboss it.  It'll be glossy and securely adhered.

Cut the light green 6x6 with the largest Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die and attach it to a top-folded white A2 card.  

Attach the diecuts - use foam tape for the greeting.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Cut the peony stamens from the chartreuse Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Cut a 3/4" square of pink cardstock to use as a base upon which to attach the 5 peony petals and the 3-petal piece.  Add the remaining pieces.

Attach Scor-tape to the topside of dark green cardstock and cut the background of the Cheery Happy Easter.  Cut the detailed portion of the greeting from white cardstock.  Attach the white greeting to the green background. Sprinkle it with detail clear powder and heat-emboss it.

Happy Easter Bunny Card by Laura Fulcher

Greetings Friends. To those of you who celebrate it, I wish you a very happy Easter. In honor of the holiday, I chose to use the Festive Bunny for today's card. He is just so dapper in his jacket.

I also want to talk about a mistake you can make on your cards as I did with this one. I glued my bunny and basket die cuts down before I checked to see if my sentiment would still fit. It did not, so I had to add it to the inside:

This is just a friendly reminder to figure out the arrangement of all of the pieces before you start to glue things down!

To make the card, I cut out the bunny and his outfit using some of the Lagoon pack papers as well as patterned paper from the Anemone Grove paper pack. On my first try, I used teal paper for the vest, but I soon found out that patterned paper showed the vest off much better.

I cut the Easter eggs out with white cardstock and colored them with various Copic markers. I did it this way so that I could cut eggs out one time and color them rather than die cut lots of different colors of paper.

Here is a close up of the card:

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Two Plaid Cards - New Spring Cheer Release by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today.  I have 2 card for you today - one is to wish you a Happy Easter and the 2nd card is a birthday card! 

For my Easter Card, I used the new Woven Basket of Eggs 94732, and the Happy Easter Curled Script 94731. I cut them both from white card stock and colored the basket and eggs with alcohol markers. I added them to a piece of plaid purple paper from the Magnolia Plaid PP1021 paper pad that I cut with the Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set 94646.

Here's a closer look at my card:

You can see that I added Glossy Accents to the eggs after decorating them with black and white pen marks. And here's one last look at my Easter card for today:

Now for my 2nd card which also uses goodies from the last release.

As you can see I kept the plaid theme going and used some paper from the Madras Plaid Blue and Violet paper pack (PP1014) for my background.  The floral image was heat embossed with white embossing powder onto vellum and then die cut.  I also cut a 2nd floral image from light gray cardsock and stamped the image with darker gray ink.  I then ran that one through my die cutting machine with the 3D matching embossing folder.  I rubbed a little violet ink on top of it, let it dry and then adhered the vellum flower image on top of the gray one.  To adhere it, I used a glue pen and only added ink in lines where the embossing was so I could hide the adhesive.  Here's a closer look:

I popped the image die cut up on foam tape and then added both the circle foiled sentiment tab and some clear gems to the floral centers.  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my cards for today!  Check out the new release and be sure to come back each day for more inspiration.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Easter Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today I have a cute Easter card for you using new products from the 2024 Spring Release.

I started by adhering colored cardstock strips of paper to white cardstock and die cutting an egg shape from the it.

I die cut the Pinpoint Daisy Background on a white cardstock panel and glued it to a gold metallic mat.  Next, I adhered it to a white card base. 

The die cut egg was glued to the center of the prepared background and the "Happy Easter" was die cut from white cardstock and glued to the egg shape.

The Cute Layered Bunny was die cut from white cardstock, I added brown ink for a little color to the bunny and glued the layers together.  The eyes, nose and whiskers were added with a black marker and a pink colored pencil was used to add color to the ears and cheeks. I used foam tape to add him to the card front and glued on a white pompom for the bunny tail.

That's it for today!  Have a Happy Easter!
