Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a cute little Easter card featuring the Full of Happiness Stamp Set. Which by the way is my featured item this week and you will see a couple more projects featuring this stamp set later in the week. The Full of Happiness Stamp Set is a super cute layering stamp set where you build a fun little Easter Chick. And, it coordinates with the Dino Dies in the Annual Catalog. Here's a look at today's card.
Tips & Tricks:
I started off my card by die cutting the words Happy and Easter three times from scrap cardstock using the Word Wishes Dies and then once from So Saffron. Once I had all the words cut out I glued them together with liquid glue and set them aside to dry completely. Next I cut all my cardstock and designer series paper to size, for the card base I used a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 (Metric would cut at 10.5 cm x 29.7cm). Then I cut my Purple Posy Cardstock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (Metric cut at 14.2 cm x 9.8 cm). My Designer series paper which comes from the Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack was cut at 3 3/4 x 5 (Metric 13.9 cm x 9.5 cm).
I used a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock to stamp the chick from the Full of Happiness Stamp Set on. I stamped my little cutie using So Saffron, Early Espresso, and Mango Melody Classic Inks. Once it was all stamped out I used my Paper Snips to cut it out. I then stamped the outline of the end in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of the Best Dressed DSP and cut it out using the matching die from the Dino Dies.
I then added the secondary sentiment to a very small scrap of Purple Posy Cardstock and stamped it in Highland Heather Classic Ink. This was trimmed down to a small banner so that I could add it to the card below the Happy Easter Sentiment that I added to the card front with liquid glue. I then added the egg with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then chick with a few Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card I added a few of the sequins from the Iridescent Sequin Assortment to add a little bling and spring feel to the card.
