How I used ovals and zig zags to create an Easter Card.

  Materials I used:

  • 1/2 sheet of Basic White cardstock  (159276) measuring 8-1/2″ x 11″. With 8-1/2″ side facing upward score at 4-1/4″.
  • A 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Blushing Bride cardstock.(131198).
  • Largest die from the Scalloped Contour dies. (155560)
  • a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White cardstock (159276).
  • 2″ x 4″ piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock (146990)
  • A 1-7/8″ x 3-7/8″  piece of  green DSP from the Dandy Designs featured in Sale a-bration campain.
  • Framed Florets Dies (160062)
  • Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052)
  • Basic Borders Dies (155558)
  • A 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock (159276).
  • A 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Highland Heather DSP .
  • A 4″ x 1″ strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock (119683)
  • Pastel Pearls (154571)
  • A 2″ x 5″ strip of Highland Heather cardstock
  • Memento ink (132708)
  • Medium envelope

How I created:

  1.  I cut and scored the 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Basic White cardstock to create the A2 card base.
  2.  Using the largest of the Contour dies I cut a scalloped layer out the Blushing Bride cardstock.
  3. I adhered the 1-7/8″ x 3-7/8″  piece of  green DSP to the 2″ x 4″ piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock
  4. Then adhered the green layers to the 3-3/4″ x 5″  piece of Basic White cardstock. The layers were adhered in somewhat of a diagional way. The corners of the green layers that overlapped the edge were cut off.
  5. The white and green layers were adhered on top of the scalloped layer and finally adhered to the card base.
  6. I used an oval die from the Framed Florets to cut an oval from the Highland Heather  DSP and from the 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock.
  7. I used the zig zag shaped basic border die to cut some zig zag strips from the Highland Heather cardstock. I used these zig zags to decorate the white oval.
  8. I the adhered the ovals onto the layered card base. The idea was to use the ovals to look like Easter Eggs.
  9. I also used the Pastel Pearls to decorate the white egg and embellish the card.
  10. The sentiment “Happy” from the Biggest Wish stamp set was stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock that was then adhered to a banner created from a strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock. This layered sentiment was adhered in the top right corner of the card

 

Hope you  try creating this card.
