Easter Stamping Project: Quick Easter Greeting Card

Spring is such a busy time and somehow Easter always sneaks up on me! Too late I realized that I needed to make some Easter cards - and quick! You can easily make 4 cards in one hour with this design.

Supply list for 4 cards

• Whisper White cardstock (2 8.5x11" sheets) for card bases
• Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
• Wisteria Wonder Classic Stampin' Pad
• Stampin' Write markers in Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry, Baja Bay, Mint Macaraon and any other pastel or subtle shades that you prefer
• Basket Bunch stamp set
• Aqua Painters
• Simply Scored scoreboard
• Cutting mat, ruler and/or grid paper

How I made the cards:

1. Score Whisper White cardstock lengthwise at the 4.25" mark. Do not cut or fold. Turn the paper clockwise and make sure to start stamping on what will be the front of the card.
2. As you can see, I used the eggs, chicks, basket and rabbit, but you can use any stamp combination you like. First I stamped the egg rows - top and bottom. Then I stamped the chicks. This gave me just enough room to add a row of bunnies. Your mileage may vary. I used a ruler and grid paper to make sure that I lined up my rows.
3. Colouring time! I coloured in all the areas that I wanted to in subtles colours along with Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, So Saffron and Crushed Curry markers. Feel free to use your own choices. This would be a great step for kids to do while you stamp.
4. For the background I lightly wet a puddle of Wisteria Wonder and brushed between the images. You may want to practice on paper first to get just the right amount of water and ink for the background of your card. Press the Wysteria ink pad to make a puddle on the inside of the stamp pad. Make sure your brush is just a little wet - too much water and the paper will buckle. Brush between the stamped images and use your finger to smear the colour if it gets too wet.
5. Cut sheet in half and fold cards. You can also stamp a sentiment inside. Although I love the Basket Bunch set very much, it does need a Happy Easter stamp :-)

Have a happy and blessed Easter!
