Easter Egg With Flowers

Hi!

This is Anja. It's just one week away from Easter and that's why Easter and Spring themed dies are on my table.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Floral Eggs & Butterflies, Spring Watering Can, Spring Greenery),
- Zig markers (numbers 043, 046, 052, 202, 260),
- Craft card base (15x10,5 cm),
- dark red card stock for background (10x14,5 cm),
- patterned paper - wood (9,6x14,1 cm),
- watercolor paper for die cuts,
- embossing ink,
- rose gold embossing powder,
- heat gun,
- Nuvo drops (Dandelion Yellow),
- paper glue,
- adhesive foam pads
- watercolor brush,
- scissors.

First I cut all the background paper.

Then I die cut the flowers and the greenery from watercolor paper and colored it with Zig markers. I used Nuvo drops for the middle of the flowers.

I die cut the beautiful egg from white paper and tapped it with embossing ink. I used rose gold powder and heat it with the heat gun.

I wanted the inside of the egg to be white, so I drew around the egg and cut it out from white paper. Then I glued the two pieces together.

I put adhesive foam pads on the backside of the egg and glued it on the "wooden" background. I glued the flowers around it. And card was finished.

I hope you have all your Easter cards ready to go. I have to make a few Easter treats and then I'm ready to go.

Btw Rise&Shine dies are still available for 25 % lower price.

Have a nice Sunday.

Small Spring Cards

Hi!

It's Anja here. I finally got my package, full of beautiful new Cottage Cutz dies. Today I wanted to create a bit of spring. We're still having a lot of snow and it's snowing again today. And if I can't have spring outside, I can make it on my cards. I made to small cards today. If you add an Easter egg or two, you can easily turn it into Easter cards.

For my two cards I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Spring Basket, Spring Meadow, Spring Watering Can, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set, Circle Set),
- Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral, Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Black Soot),
- white card base (two 4x4 inch),
- patterned paper (two 10x10 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- silver pigment ink,
- black pen,
- white foam,
- paper glue.

First I cut all the circles. I cut two of each. I used the largest circle die for scalloped circles and the second largest from the circle set. I wanted a bit of dimension on the card, that's why I used foam and cut two circle frames with the two largest circle dies.

I glued the foam on the scalloped circle frame.

Then I cut two squares for the background. I used patterned paper from my stash.

Then I cut all the other pieces and colored it with Distress Inks. This watercan die is so beautiful.

And then I just assembled and gued everyything together The final result is two mini spring cards.

I hope you have a beautiful Sunday. See you again next week.
