T he florals in the Flowers for Every Season paper pack have some prints that work great for Easter cards. You could use a floral or a stripe for the card front.
Project Recipe
Card Base: Cut Magenta Madness 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.
Card Mat: Cut Basic White paper 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp Happy Easter with Magenta Madness ink.
From your 6 x 6 paper:
Cut a piece 2 ¼ X 6
Cut a piece 3 ¼ X 5 ¼
There will be a ½ X 6 piece left, save this for the inside of your card.
Card Front:
Attach the 3 ¼ X 5 ¼ paper to white stamped card mat. Line this piece up at the bottom as you attach it.
Cut 15” of Magenta Madness ribbon. Wrap ribbon around card front where the print paper ends and knot at left side of card front.
Attach card front to card base. Use the dark Magenta Madness Blends to color a rhinestone, attach colored rhinestone to the left of “Happy Easter”.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card. I attached the remaining ½” wide piece to the card insert before attaching it.
If you want to cover your envelope flap to match your card, you can find directions here: http://www.scrappinwithjoni.com/blogs/covering-your-envelope-flap.
Use the 2 ¼ piece you cut from the 6 x 6 paper
Use the same directions to make the card with a stripe instead of floral.
