I knew I had to make at least 30 cards for Easter.

I purchased a few products from Simon Says Stamp with the sole purpose of making Easter cards. Because I knew I was going to make so many I wanted to limit my supplies to a few stamp and die sets. Every single card is different! I spent 2 days making them and really enjoyed the process.

I did not video the complete card making process. I did make a video after I was finished and, in the video, I do explain what I did.

I used backgrounds that I had already created for quite a few of these cards. Do you do that as well? Create backgrounds to use later?

I kept the cardstock colors to pastels.

Simple Easter Cards featuring:

CZ Designs Inlaid Crosses Die and Clean Line Faith Stamp Set video above

I used the following products:

• Simon Says Stamp/CZ Designs ‘Inlaid Crosses’ die set
• Simon Says Stamp ‘Crocus Flowers’ die set
• Simon Says Stamp/CZ Designs ‘He is Risen’ Die set
• Simon Says Stamp/CZ Design ‘Clean Line Faith’ stamp set
• Simon Says Stamp ‘You Are’ background stamp
• Lawn Fawn ‘Stitched Circle’ die set
• Ellen Hutson 40# vellum
• Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing powder

I also used stencils (I will list which ones below), Nuvo Glimmer Paste (moonstone), various colors of cardstock (listed below each card), and envelopes from Either Simon Says Stamp or Gina K Designs

For the lavender card: Simon Says Stamp ‘Daisy Bouquet’ stencil, MFT Stamps Grapesicle Cardstock.

For the neutral card: Heffy Doodle ‘Ring a Rosies’ stencil and MFT Stamps In the Buff cardstock.

For the blue card: Heffy Doodle ‘Ring a Rosies’ stencil and MFT Stamps Blue breeze card stock.

For the blue card: I stamped the ‘You Are’ background die onto MFT Blue Breeze cardstock. I used the same cardstock and covered it with Distress Oxide ink and put water splatters on it. The crocus dies are inlaid into the background.

For the pink card: I stamped the ‘You Are’ onto white card stock and onto MFT Stamps Tickled Pink Cardstock. I cut the crocus out of the pink and glue them to the top of the white background.

For the card on the left: That background was from my stash. It is an embossed resist technique, meaning I embossed a design onto a piece of white cardstock and then put Distress Inks on top. I cut the crocus dies out of the card front. It opens to reveal the crocus flowers inside. The cardstock is The Stamp Market Bubblegum.

For the card on the right: I stamped the ‘You Are’ background stamp onto The Stamp Market Bubble gum Cardstock. I adhered the border from the card on the left onto the top of the background.

For the lavender card: this is the same card as the top image.

For the blue card: The background was from my stash. It is an embossed resist technique, meaning I embossed a design onto a piece of white cardstock and then put Distress Inks on top. The cross inlay was from my stash too – it is alchohol inks.

Both of these backgrounds were from my stash. I colored Yupo paper with Alcohol Inks. After they were dry I embossed them with embossing folders. I took a sanding block and sanded the high spots (card on the left only). The cardstock on the right is Gina K Designs Peach Bellini. On the right I used Gina K Designs Coral Reef

The background is a watercolor wash. I added the text with the ‘You Are’ stamp

Another embosses resits background. I cut a vellum circle to place behind the sentiment. The cardstock is Gina K Designs Peach Bellini.

The pink cardstock is MFT Stamps Tickled Pink. The blue is MFT Stamps Blue Breeze

I stamped ‘Easter Blessings’ on all of my envelopes. The cardstock is MFT Stamps Grape Jelly.

I used MFT Stamps ‘Roses All Over’ 6×6 paper. I stamped it with the ‘You Are’ background stamp

The card stock is MFT Stamps In the Buff. The stencil is Echo Park ‘Splash’.

The mint cardstock is Simon Says Stamp Mint. Top left – Simon Says Stamp ‘Daisy Bouquet’ stencil. Top right and bottom left – Altenew ‘Feeling Dotty’ stencil. Bottom right – Simon Says Stamp ‘Circularl lace’ stencil.

And that is all for today – make some Easter cards – they are so so fun!
