Well…  I started the year with 2 posts each month but have completely dropped the ball in March.  In an effort to catch up a bit I’m going with some short and sweet posts that are mainly pictures and product info.

I’ve used this Spellbinders kit before and as with most of their older version card kits there was more than I could possibly use in a single card making session.  There was still quite a bit of Easter specific elements and with Easter coming up I decided to focus on those pieces.

For card one, I selected paper and ephemera pieces that matched the colors in the “Happy Easter” sentiment die cut.  I used the included die set to create the background for the butterflies and the gold flowers sprinkled around the card.

Card two is all about the paper and ephemera.  To keep the bunny and egg from blending into the background, I placed them inside the gold oval created with the included die set.

Card three used some of my favorites – the purple gingham paper and the cute egg carton.  The hearts and additional sentiment were stickers included in the kit.

Card four is all about the ephemera – die cuts, stickers and gemstones.  The carrot paper, a busy design in muted colors, was the perfect background for all of the ephemera.

I think the cards are all quite cute and I used up quite a bit of the Easter specific items.
