A card for easter and a fun blog hop!

March 17, 2023

A card for easter and a fun blog hop!

Welcome to Day one of a blog hop to celebrate the Just for You release from Simon Says Stamp! Today I am sharing the coolest little Easter card that you might not want to mass produce, but OH, is it fun!

I can’t lie: I was channeling my inner Laura Bassen on this one! All that foam tape and the no outline? Yes, please!

Here is the video showing you how I created the card:

    Love that fun card. For some reason (probably user error on my part) I had no sound on your video, but I think I got the general idea. That card is so darn cute — and, while I may try it, I plan to follow your advice and not mass produce it!

    I love this card. It is the perfect blend of religious ( stained glass) and whimsical ( bunny). To me both aspects of Easter are important, Christ’s resurrection and new life represented by the bunny. It was worth all the effort!
