Easter Joy Cross Card
(inside: Wishing you a blessed Easter)
I saw this video to make a dimensional cross card and thought I’d give it a try.
Bethany’s instructions show how to make what I used as my card front. I added a top folding card base behind that panel (measuring 3 1/2 x 11 inches folded in half) to allow it to stand up better (it leans forward without the added base) and to have an “inside” for my sentiment/personal message (she put her message on the back).
The patterned paper is from the “Linen Floral” paper pack from Creek Bank Creations. American Crafts Velvet and white card stock was also used.
Both the greeting on the front and the sentiment on the inside were from the “Just Sentiments: Easter” stamp set from Ink to Paper and were stamped with Gina K Designs Plum Punch ink. I used a 1 1/2 inch and a 1 3/4 inch punch for the circles.
This card folds flat (to A2 size) for mailing.

Easter Egg Car and Bunny
This box card was made with an SVG file called Box Card – Easter Egg Car Bunny by Lori Whitlock. Once the pieces were cut using my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine, it went together pretty quickly.
This card folds flat for mailing. However, when folded, it measures roughly 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches so I needed to make a custom envelope with my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. (Paper size: 9 1/4″ square; first fold at 4 5/8″)

Split Panel Background
This card layout was made with two 3×4 inch panels of patterned paper. One of the panels was cut in half diagonally, and the other became the focal panel. I love this simple layout to highlight pretty paper and to add interest to the background as well.
The patterned paper I used is Recollections “Lavender Lines” and a piece from the “Floral Meadows” paper pad from Brass & Bliss. The base and mats are from the Recollections “Passion Fruit” cardstock pack (no longer available?).
The greeting was computer generated (CK Curly font), and a few 3mm crystals were added for a hint of sparkle.

Hedgehog and Hearts for Valentine’s Day
(Inside: Wishing you every happiness, today and always.)
This card features this cute little guy from a die set I purchased on Amazon as well as a background cover die that I embossed (instead of cut as I had done HERE).
This animal die set includes a number of cute animals, but I just wanted to mention that there is a bit of fussy cutting and drawing/coloring required for some of the layers on each.
The frame is from the “Heart Card Sketcher” set (FRA-DIE-09308) from Frantic Stamper. The inside sentiment is from the “Elegant Florals” set from Gina K Designs, and the greeting on the front was computer generated (CK Footnote; 15pt font).

Four Block Valentine’s Day Card
(Inside: Wishing you every happiness, today and always.)
I am always excited when I come across an interesting (and simple!) layout to try. And with all the patterned paper I have that is waiting to be used, I think this one is a winner! Thanks Natasha Foote!
Recollections “Tan Hearts” and a piece from The Paper Studio “Dalmuti” card stock pack (no longer available?) were used for the blocks along with Stampin’ Up Tip Top Taupe, GKD Innocent Pink, and Recollections Dove White. The greeting panel was made with an amazon set and the EK “Real Estate Sign” punch. Pieces cut with the “Mini Fanciful Flourish left” die by Cheery Lynn Designs were used to embellish.
The inside greeting is from the “Elegant Florals” stamp set from Gina K Designs.
I made some without the pink as well.
