At long last, Easter is once again upon us. It’s one of my favourite holidays. After all, Easter is the holiday that welcomes spring, with plenty of pretty spring flowers, cute and cuddly holiday icons (who doesn’t like bunnies and little fuzzy chicks?!) and lots of yummy, yummy chocolate to be had.
A holiday this wonderful deserves a sparkly and pretty card to celebrate it, so of course, I just had to dig out the leftover white glitter foam scraps from December’s snowman card to make this shiny Easter egg card to mark the occasion.
Supplies:
· Sheet of 8 1/2” x 11” purple card stock
· Rectangle of white text paper, measuring 3 3/4” x 5”
· Rectangle of white glitter foam (with sticky back), measuring approximately 3 1/2” x 4 3/4”
· Scraps of pink and blue card stock
Equipment:
· Paper trimmer
· Bone folder
· Glue runner
· Pencil
· Scissors
· Small circle paper punch (about 1/2” diameter)
· Hot glue gun
Directions:
1. Use the paper trimmer to cut the purple card stock in half to get two pieces, measuring 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”. Set one aside for future projects.
2. Fold the remaining piece of purple card stock in half with the bone folder to get a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” card.
3. Attach the white text paper rectangle to the inside right panel of the card with the glue runner.
4. Trace an outline of an egg on the back of the white glitter foam rectangle, using as much of the space as possible. Cut out the egg shape.
5. Peel off the sticky backing on the foam and attach the egg to the front panel of the purple card.
6. Take the pink and blue card stock scraps and punch out eight pink circles and six blue circles.
7. Use the glue gun to attach the pink and blue circles to the front of the egg.
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s card. Have a fabulous weekend and I’ll see you next week!
