Card Inspiration Easter

Happy Easter everyone!

I have been wanting to create a sunburst card and figured the Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge was the perfect opportunity. Making sunbursts is a great way to use up extra strips of paper.

I had lots of fun with this sketch and hope you can play too! Join at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

This card was so much fun. To do the starbursts I used 1.5X 6 inch strips of paper cut diagonally. All the points are under the circle with the bunny. This card took 2 strips each of 4 patterns (I had a few triangles after I cut each strip diagonally).

It gets even better, when you open the card, a panel pops out!

This fancy card is actually pretty easy to make! It just looks like it took forever. I used the Happiness Lives Here Paper Pack to decorate the inside and outside of the card. The stamping is from the Happiness Lives Here Card Making Stamp using Peach ink

The Happy Easter Sentiment is from Flower Market and cut with the Cricut.

I hope you enjoy the card and are inspired to create!

Happy Stamping,

Card Inspiration Easter

I had a great time playing with Double Trouble! They inspired me to do a Spring card Twist it into a fun-fold. So off I went to find a new fun-fold pattern. I found a fabulous tutorial by Connie to learn this new fold. This one has so much room to write and it looks super fancy! Since I did a fun-fold I did the Double Dare and entered the Creative Creases Challenge too. Challenges are a great source of inspiration – I hope you can play too!

This card looks so much more difficult than it is. It’s also fun because it has a “bonus” card for lots of decorating or writing. After the front folds out accordion style, the inside has a nearly full sized card that opens.

Since I haven’t purchased spring-ish paper yet, I had to dig into my stash. I decided that Happiness Lives Here had flowers and stickers that make me think of Spring and the paper is still available online! I used the You Make My Heart Flutter Stamp set with Peach Ink and an older Easter set with Paprika ink. The folded base is paprika and the base is Sage. You can get all these goodies at my shop anytime!

Here are a few pictures of the card open, so you can see the fun-fold.

Hope you like the card and it helps inspire you to get crafty!

Happy crafting!
