Excellent Eggs

 Here is a fun, interactive card for Easter. and the best part is, it is simple to make. 

It uses the Excellent Eggs bundle from the January-April Mini Catalogue which has adorable images and a range of dies that make creating a breeze.

The bright colours of the Lighter Than Air designer series paper are perfect for Easter and spring themed projects. I chose to add eggs in Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, and Petal Pink.  I added stamping with Coastal Cabana ink for the sentiment and the stamped egg.

When I saw this set, I knew I had to find a way to have the egg open.  With the zigzag die and the Round & Square brads from the Annual Catalogue, it was easy to add the brad before I stuck the Lemon Lolly/DSP layer to my card front.  Don't you just love this sweet little bunny hiding inside?

And best of all, if you purchase the Excellent Eggs bundle before February 29th, you are almost at the $60 minimum to choose a free item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Add the Lighter Than Air dsp and you're all set!

Spotlight on SAB - Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper

Stampin' Up!'s designer series papers are the best! And they're even better during Sale-A-Bration when you can get them free!

Today I am featuring the Flight & Airy paper pack which can be earned free with a $60 order. So many beautiful prints and a gorgeous palette of colours. 

I've used Boho Blue and Petal Pink on the two cards below. The design uses a small amount of DSP so I could easily create multiples with different sentiments. 

Also featured is the Softly Sophisticated bundle which can be earned free with a $120 order. Yay! The embossing folder adds a subtle touch of texture to any project and looks great with either the embossed or debossed side showing.
