A Good Egg Stampin’ Up- You Crack Me Up!
April 21st, 2011
Peeps! (pun intended!) Why didn’t anyone tell me that Easter is THREE days away and I haven’t posted any Easter projects yet!? Oh, my goodness. How did this happen? I have the darling A Good Egg Stamp Set, and I haven’t even touched it this year. No, I didn’t give it up for lent.
When I saw the inspiration piece at CASE Study, my creative juices got flowin’! The layout, the bow and the spread of pearls on Silke’s card were carried over to mine. I was super happy with how this card came out….super spring-y and fun. AND I used the very popular Custom Designer Brad Tutorial. (click for video)
I love the patterns in the Sweet Stitches DSP pack and thought they would be perfect for the egg. Aren’t they adorable? I stamped the chick and egg twice on the DSP and cut them out. After I stamped it again on the White cardstock, I colored the chick in using ink pads and aquapainters (click for video) and punched that out with my 2-1/2" Circle Punch (LOOOOVE how big that sucker is!).
I cut the DSP eggs out and popped them up with dimensionals. My grass was made by punching out a 2-1/2" Circle, then basically snipping out triangles.
I stamped the greeting straight onto my DSP, but it was crooked…so I stamped it again, punched it with the Word Window Punch and viola! mistake disappeared.
Have a wonderful Easter everyone! I will have a few new things to share on my blog over the long weekend, so be sure to pop in, and sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t already!
