Easter Cards with Arrange A Wreath

Hello friends today I am thinking about Easter cards. I did such a horrible job of sending out Christmas Cards this last December that I decided to make up for it by sending Easter cards.... Well really, sending far more Easter cards than normal. 

To create my Easter cards, I am turning to the tried and true Stampin' Up! bundle, Arrange a Wreath. If you thought Arrange a Wreath was a Christmas stamp and die bundle, you were only 20% correct. While you can craft fabulous Christmas cards with this bundle, you can also create amazing Spring, Easter, Summer, and Fall cards!

For today's card I used two of my most favorite colors, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz, with a touch of Coastal Cabana to create fun, colorful, happy Easter cards. 

The wreath was created cutting two layers, one in white and one in Pear Pizzazz. The flowers and eggs were stamped, cut, and affixed to the wreath. I finished the wreath with a twine zigzag that I snipped to make into smaller sections. I added gems for some charm.

The Arrange a Wreath bundle can be found on my Stampin' Up! website by clicking the Stampin' Up! tab at the top of my blog. Click today and you will have plenty of time to make your own Easter wreath cards.

Butterfly Bouquet Scrapbook Layout & Blog Hop!

 

Hello friends. Today I am participating in a Butterfly Bouquet blog hop with Kylie's (Stampin' Up!) Demonstrator Training Program. I hope you enjoy my project, and the 40+ other fabulous SU projects from around the world!

I have been focused so much on card making recently and I decided this suite of products provided me the perfect opportunity to "return to my roots" and do a bit of scrapbooking.  I have so many photographs to scrap from grandchildren and holidays, I really need to do more of this.

A number of years ago Doug and I visited Key West, Florida. One of the more low key yet interesting place we made a stop was at the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory. I cannot tell you how many thousands of butterfly species they had from all over the world. It was amazing. My photos of the time we spent there truly did not do justice to the visit.

When planning today's layout I remembered the visit and thought this suite of products would be perfect for the photos.

I began with white card stock and added to squares of DSP from the Butterfly Bijou 6x6 set. I placed those on the left side of the page. To the right I used plain white cardstock. Using our new blending brushes, I added touches of Crushed Curry and Flirty Flamingo ink to continue the background colors, going for an ombre effect. I then used versamark ink and white embossing powder to add white butterflies to the back ground.

I used a similar ombre effect when die cutting my butterflies. I added the same two colors of ink via blending brush to white cardstock, using less and less color as I moved across the page. I then used my Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine and the Brilliant Wing dies to cut my butterflies.

The butterflies on my scrapbook page may look a bit confused, but they are all migrating lower left to upper right as they make their way across the page.

This suite of products will be available for purchase tomorrow, March 2, 2021. You can purchase products individually, or as a discounted suite.

Thank you for hopping by today. For more information on the products used to create this layout, visit my online store HERE.  Please click the link below to continue on the blog hop.
