Easter Greetings Cards (Part 2)
Step by step
Step 1
First,press the stamp you have chosen into the embossing ink pad.Now quickly colour the stamp with the brush pens. We've used a combination of red, yellow, and green. Immediately stamp onto the white card, then sprinkle with your colour choice of pearlescent powder.
Step 2
Melt the powder gently with your heat source. Return the excess powder to its container as soon as possible to avoid mishaps.
Step 3
When your embossing is complete, carefully cut round your designs. For this we used decorative edge scissors around the Happy Easter stamp. We have used decoupage scissors around the eggs to follow the outline faithfully.
Step 4
Fold the A4 sheet of card in half, so that the size is A5. Cut two comer triangles from the deep pink card, size 7.5 x 10.5 x 13cm (3” x 4 1/8” x 5 1/8”). Use the decorative edge scissors along the longest side. Glue the triangles on the top left and bottom right so that the decorative edges face inwards.
Step 5
Glue the embossed eggs on to the pale pink parchment card, with the Happy Easter fixed centrally between them. This completes the outside of the card, leaving the inside for your personal massage.
Yellow and Blue Card
Step 1
Press the stamp in to the embossing pad, then quickly colour the stamp with the brush pens. This card use a combination of red, yellow, green and blue. Stamp on to the white card.
Step 2
Sprinkle over the pearlescent powder. On the blue stamp we have used purple, whilst on the yellow stamp we have used bronze. Different combinations of ink and pearlescent powders produce a whole range of colour finishes. Experiment until to you find the colour you are seeking. Then melt the powder gently with your heat gun. Repeat as necessary. Return the excess powder to its container as soon as possible to avoid mishaps.
Step 3
Carefully cut out your design with decorative edge scissors.
Step 4
Using the coloured card again, cut out large, background pieces and glue the blue stamp to the blue card and the yellow stamp to the yellow card. Finally, fold the A4 card in half and glue the coloured cards to it diagonally, completing your card.

Carefully cut out the egg shapes and use decorative edge scissors to cut out the Happy Easter stamp image. Fold the other A4 card in half, then prepare two rectangles of blue card, 4 x 21cm (1 ½” x 8 ¼”), and cut one long edge on each with decorative scissors. Glue them on to the folder white card on one half so that the cut edges face inwards.
Step 3
Glue the cut-out eggs into place on the blue strips. Cut one piece of blue card 8.5 x 4.5cm (3 3/8” x1 ¾”) with the decorative scissors and glue this in the centre of the space between the two blue strips. Finally, glue the Happy Easter centrally over the blue centre card. Your card is no finished.
