Easter Basket

 I have a couple more Easter cards to share, one using die cuts and one with sticker and die cuts.


  • Elizabeth Craft designs - Gathering basket die
  • Spellbinders - Hop into spring dies (bunny and flowers)
  • Paper Studio - Silkscreen embossing folder
  • Fiskars - Grass punch
  • Stamps for life - Post marks 2 stamp sentiment stamp
  • Martha Stewart - circle punch
  • Gem stickers flower centers


On my second card the shape of the sticker is like a half circle, trying to figure out how to use it on my card and then I came up with finding inks that were close to the background on the sticker and blending the inks  together to make an extended background, adding some die cut eggs to it :)


I forgot to write down all that I used on this card :(

I would like to share my first card today with the Can you handle the pressure challenge anything goes with option twist of kids.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

That first one is adorable! It's like a teddy bunny. But the 2nd one you blended so beautifully with that sticker and that sticker is a stunner! Just stands out so pretty and the cute eggs are a perfect finishing touch. :) Have a blessed Easter dear Connie! ✝️🐰🌸

Both cards are beautiful! Love the basket and those pretty posies and all of that gorgeous texture! What a cool design for your second card! You used that image perfectly, like the ink shading and added eggs, the sentiment is perfectly fancy! Happy Easter!

Oh, gosh, that sticker is so adorable and you blended it beautifully into your card design! Love the SB Hop into Spring die set which I do have and had hoped to use for Easter, but too little time for everything. It's cute with the basket, and I really like the embossing in the background. Happy Easter weekend, Connie!

Such a charming pair of Easter makes. The basket scene on the first card feels so warm and inviting, with the mix of dies and textures giving it that sweet, storybook look. The embossed background adds just the right amount of detail, and the little pops of color from the flowers and gems make everything come alive. Your solution for the half‑circle sticker on the second card is so clever — extending the background with ink blending creates such a seamless transition, and the added eggs finish it beautifully.
