Welcome to the day ONE of our February Release
I am so excited to
show you two of our fun new products
That you are going to
love for spring crafting!
Today we are introducing
AND
Happy Easter Die Set
I started things off with Easter Postage Sampler
Those carrots in the stamp set just got me!
The first thing I thought of was a little carrot garden.
To create this look I started with A tag made from Bookmark II Die
Simply basic blue card stock for the base of the tag because
most of it is
going to be covered
with the layers of the "carrot patch".
To create a “garden” I used green stripe paper from Pastel Basics 6x6 Paper Pad
I took one piece of the card stock and divided it into two-inch
strips.
Next, I use Sky Boarders Die set to create “hills” for
the top of each of the strips.
Next, I chopped down all the strips.
The largest strip is 4 inches, the medium strip is 3 inches,
and the final strip is 1 ½ inches.
I ran each of the strips back through the Bookmark II Die at
the bottom of the die,
so that I can have a seamless look on all the layers of “garden”
for my tag.
I glued all the strips down onto the front of my bookmark,
leaving the
top portion unglued so
that I can insert my carrots.
Next, I stamped out my Bunny, carrots, and sentiment from the
Easter Postage Sampler
I glued up the back of my carrots and slid those into my hills.
I attached my Bunny to
the front of the tag with foam tape
and my sentiment at the bottom of the tag.
I felt like the tag needed some color, so I quickly stamped
out a couple of flowers.
After coloring my flowers and cutting them out I added them
to the front of the tag.
My next card features the NEW Happy Easter Die Set
This card could not be simpler than I started out by using
the A2 Card Layout Die.
I chose bright colorful spring colors of card stock.
After cutting out my colors, I pieced everything together to
make sure all the pieces fit.
I then took the pieces
out and using the flower stamps from the Easter Postage Sampler
Along with Versamark ink I stamped on my flowers.
After covering the flowers with clear embossing powder
and heat setting I had
this cool design to go around my centerpiece.
I created a card base out of white card stock,
The frame piece from A2 Card Layout Die. is glued onto
the card first.
All the colorful
pieces are then glued back into their spot.
For the Happy Easter Die I chose black and white card stock.
After cutting the pieces out, I glued everything together and
set this aside to dry.
Once dried this was added to the front of the card with foam
tape.
To finish this card I added on a couple of Easter Lily stamps
and a couple of white gems.
Hope you enjoy my take on these fun new products!
