Welcome to Wednesday’s Easter cards. I keep getting ideas for that Pattern Egg, so I thought I would show you a few more! Look how fast you can make this simple hanging egg card on our long notecards.

Supplies:

• Pattern Egg
• Sparkle Clear: Happy Greetings
• Long White Notecards
• Soft Pool Shadow Ink
• Memories Black Ink
• Primary Elements Chalk Ink Queue
• Sparkle Gems Blossoms
• Other: ribbons, black marker

And why not make that egg into some little bunnies?

Supplies:

• Pattern Egg
• White, Lime Notecards
• Primary Elements Chalk Ink Queue
• Soft Pool Shadow Ink
• Gems
• Other: pastel cardstock scraps, black marker, border punch (Fiskars), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder

The Pattern Bunny makes a cute spring or Easter card too! Emboss him in white on pink for a soft spring look.

Supplies:

• Pattern Bunny
• Dots
• Sparkle Clear: Happy Greetings (squiggle)
• Screen Shadow
• Soft Pool Shadow Ink
• Primary Elements Chalk Ink Queue
• Pool, White, Yellow, Pink Notecards

• Other: scallop punches, tiny hole punch, ribbon

This parade of bunnies can be made in a few shakes of their little cottontails. Simply stamp bunnies and eggs in black between the lilac scallop borders. Cut around scallops and mount onto pink dotted paper. The light wash of blue behind the bunnies makes them stand out.

• Clear Design: Scallop Borders

• Memories Dahlia Ink
• Sparkle Gems Blossoms

For Watch It Wednesday, we have a very special video for you straight from the SMAC show in Paris!  Steff Vin, demo artist from France, shows you how to make a darling butterfly (papillion) card using acetate.

Thanks Steff!
