Easter Cards

I have a few Easter cards that I'm sharing today and I've been using the Signature Series Digital Florist Everything Anemone Cardmaking, Flower Forming and Papercrafting Kit by Opulence by Design Crafts.

This is a huge kit, comprising of 25 x A4 pages from topper, tags, panels, card front designs, flower forming sheets, leaves to sentiments, bows, floral inserts and backing papers.

Have a peek at the sample of just what is in this kit as I have only used a fraction of it.

My first Easter card is a diamond flip shaped card and I used a 8 x 8 inch white card base that had unfortunately been squashed in my draw but as it was going to be chopped up it came in very handy.

I used one of the toppers from the kit and some square dies from my stash to die cut the layers for the diamond flip topper. I layered it up with the purple block paper from the kit and then a piece of gold satin mirror board.

Inside the card I've added a posy of flowers to accompany the insert and added a few leaves too. I have also added this to the front of the card too.

I've used one of the sentiments and added shimmer to my card and blooms using

my Sakura stardust gel pens. This card measures 8 x 6 inches.

My second Easter card is a hexagonal stair stepper and when I saw the hexagonal topper sheet, it inspired me to make a stepper card.  My card measures 11 x 6 inches.

I used the purple block paper on the panel of my card, as I thought it would really make the toppers pop. I then die cut my toppers using hexagonal dies to create the layers and then mounted them on foam tape to add a little dimension.

I also decoupaged the flowers on the toppers and added two of the bows to the largest topper. Using my sparkle gel pens, I've highlighted around the flowers.

My card folds flat but I have made an envelobox  for it as I did add a little dimension on the toppers.

I've left a space on the back for the message.

My third Easter card is a double staggered Z fold card  and this one measures 9 x 6 inches.

I cut one of the insert sheets into strips and then layered them onto the yellow card strips

that were to form the front of my card.

I've added a few tulips in the corner and two of the purple bows for a little dimension.

I used one of the beautiful floral sheets for the centre panel of my card.

This card will also go flat into an envelope and I have added an insert on the back for me to write a sentiment. This is a bumper kit that will cover so many occasions to take you through the year.

It's really easy to add sparkle and shimmer your cards and projects made from these kits. I have a growing collection of Stickles glitter glue but I also love using Sakura stardust gel pens. They are really effective for outlining the edges of your projects as well as highlighting detail too.

There is much inspiration for card styles and folds on Mix It Up Craft by Sam Calcott and lots of these you don't need even need to use dies for.
