Easter Bunny is popping up at "Be Inspired #78" with fabulous cards ideas!

Happy Easter to everyone, from our family to yours!

This week the Easter Bunny  is visiting us with great ideas for POP UP Cards

Pop up cards are so much fun!! but they can be as intricate as you want them to be.  The fabulous Design Team has created several types of pop up card from the beginner level all the way to advance with Ms Betty's intricate pop up card.

A few simple folds, and some aggressive adhesive, you can create a very creative, enjoyable surprise card  for those who are the receiving end of your cards.

This is a perfect time to have the Easter Bunny pop right up from a patch of tulips, or perhaps out of a basket of jelly beans! Maybe you would have a spring tree, an Easter egg, flowers, or even a Cross pop up to convey your message.

Our international Design Team has created an entire basket full of gorgeous pop-up cards.
Their scenes are fantastic, and their ideas are so varied!

Easter Featuring Our Daily Bread Designs

Hello Everyone, and welcome to cuttlebug challenge. I'm Shantaie Fowler, with another Easter project to inspire you to get out your cuttlebug, your favorite provocraft embossing folders, and a beautiful set of stamps by Our Daily Bread Designs.

  Easter is my favorite Holiday, rich with tradition and the peace and beauty that only spring can offer. I don't get to see my Mom very often, but I always send  a care package at Easter. I knew the moment I saw this lovely stamp set that I would make a special card for my parents. I know they will love this scripture, and will keep this card on display.

I wish you all a very Happy Easter! Shantaie

More fun EASTER Projects

Hello again & Happy Monday everyone! It's me, America Kuhn, of Cards By America.  Easter is quickly approaching, and so I am here to share THREE more Easter projects with you.

This first Easter card was created with stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs. The sentiment is heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. The main panels are diecut with the Mega Scalloped Ovals from Spellbinders. The GOLD underlying layer is actually GOLD Wrapping Paper left over from Christmas. Its quite thick and it dry embosses beautifully.  Give it a try. The adhesive pearls were actually cream colored - but I inked them with a gold leaf pen to match the overall GOLD theme. The Gold cross charm is attached with gold cording to the ribbon treatment.

Here is my list of supplies and card recipe:
Stamps: ODBD, Our Daily Bread Designs, Easter Blessings
Paper: heavy Textured Cream CS, Gold heavy Wrapping paper
Ink: Gold Pigment Ink
Accessories: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Mega Scalloped Oval Spellbinders, Gold Cross Charm, Gold Glitter Embossing Powder, Basic Grey Adhesive Pearls (colored with gold leaf pen), Shimmery Pearlized Bridal Confetti Flowers (from Michael's Bridal Section)
Technique: Dry Embossing Heat Embossing

Second, is a House Mouse/Happy Hoppers Easter card/treat set;

Here is the Card list of supplies and Recipe:
STAMP: Stampabilities, House Mouse Designs, Happy Hoppers, called "Hoppy Dreams" and featuring Hop-It. #HMKR1026.
Paper: Easter/Spring Themed Designer Pack
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Copics, Marvy Matchables, Silver Glitter Gel Marker
Accessories: Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Spellbinders, Flower Rhinestones & Designer Glitter Ribbon (from Michael's)
Technique: Paper Tole

Here is Silver Tin list of supplies and Recipe:
Tin is from the $1 section of Michael's. I've altered this with matching Easter Designer paper, Ribbon & mini Flower Rhinestones then filled it with yummy Easter Egg Chocolate Candy. :)

Third, one last Easter card featuring another House Mouse Stamp.
List of supplies and Recipe:

STAMP: Stampabilities, House Mouse Designs, "Anybody Home",  #HMIR1004.
Paper: Easter/Spring Themed Designer Pack, Banana Yellow, Blue Textured CS, White Heavy CS.
Ink: Copics, Marvy LePlume Markers, CTMH Chlaks, GOLD Leaf Pen
Accessories: Cuttlebug DOTS Embossing Folder, Spellbinders, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Adhesive Pearls, UltraFine White Glitter, Gold Ribbon, Gold Cording, Gold Easter Egg Charm
Technique: Paper Tole

This Easter card has several *layers* like the one added textured Blue Cardstock Layer behind the MS punched border. For the look of the layers behind the main diecut panel, simply cut extra Spellbinders diecuts of the same shape- then cut those in half, glueing to the top and bottom backs of your panel. I also like to outline/color the outer lines of these diecuts with markers for a little extra "pizazz". :) The background of the image panel is cotton chalked for blue skies. The main image is colored, layered and outlined.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!  Please let us know what you think...
Have a great week!
