Easter Basket Lift-Up Card

I am just loving the Easter Joy Suite! Love the colors, love the designs, love the basket!! I will be using this Suite for Stamp Club when I get back, so I was having a play with it before I go!! Too much fun! This card was designed by Wendy Lee, and is just too cute, with a neat, fun twist to a "regular" card!

Measurements:

Balmy Blue: 1/4 sheet, 3" x 5 1/2" (flap), 3/8" x 2" (label), 1 3/4" x 3" (basket weave)
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
Crumb Cake: 3" x 4"
Summer Splash: scrap
Lemon Lolly: 1 3/4" x 3" (basket weave)
Peach Pie: 1 3/4" x 3" (basket weave)
Pretty in Pink: 1 3/4" x 3" (basket weave)
Pecan Pie: scrap (bunny)
Easter Joy DSP (N): 2 3/4" x 4 1/2" (blue print), random "eggs"

To Make This Card:

Take the Balmy Blue "flap" piece and score at 3/4". Mountain fold, and crease well.
Place "blue" DSP onto front of flap.
Place Tear n Tape on "inside" of 3/4" area. Remove backing and "hook" over White layer, as shown - so it lifts up.
Now, you can adhere the White layer to the Balmy Blue "postcard" base.
Now to decorate the front flap!
Die cut "basket" from Crumb Cake cardstock, as well as "grass" from Summer Splash, and strips to weave from 4 colors.
Also, stamp small "bunny" in Early Espresso onto Pecan Pie scrap and die cut with corresponding die.
Carefully weave the 4 strips through the cuts in the basket (you can use as many strips and colors as you like!) Remember you need to start each stripe opposite of the previous one! Basket Weaving 101!
Adhere the "grass" to the wrong, top side of "basket"
Next, add "basket" to the front flap, as shown, with Dimensionals, leaving the "top" of the basket free.
Add the "bunny" inside the basket with a Dimensional.
Now, find a scrap of the DSP with the printed "eggs" and cut out 3. These are a little "free form" so I chose the one ones that look more like "eggs". Tuck those in the "basket", flush with the card.
If desired, stamp sentiment onto strip of Balmy Blue and trim at an angle. Add to "basket" with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with sentiment centered under "flap".
Finish outside with Blue Gingham Bow and scattered Pearlized Faceted Dots.

Sweet Bugs Ladybug Clean & Simple Card #2

This idea is very similar to one I did in Poppy Parade, only it uses a different color palette, that I just LOVE! This one still uses the Cute as a Bug DSP, only the alternate color combo of Petal Pink and Old Olive! It makes awesome use of the DSP patterns in this color combo, and you just might have some scraps! So cute!

Measurements:

Petal Pink: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4 1/4" (arch)
Old Olive: 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4", scraps
Cute as a Bug DSP (N): 3 pcs @ 1 3/8" x 3 1/2" (different, coordinating patterns!)

To Make This Card:

Adhere Old Olive layer to folded Petal Pink card base.
Next, add the 3 pieces of DSP, evenly spacing them top to bottom & side to side.
Now, stamp the images in Memento Black ink and die cut with corresponding dies. You'll need one "Reading Ladybug", one "Lily of the Valley", and 2 flowers/grass.
Color in the images with Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, and Old Olive Blends.
Die cut one "arch" in Petal Pink, and then a smaller "arch" in White using the Everyday Arches Dies.
Stamp sentiment of your choice in Old Olive ink, onto White "arch", and then mount this piece onto the Petal Pink arch.
To create the focal point.. I placed one "flower" near the bottom left corner of arch. Use the smaller Dimensionals. Next, I added the "Ladybug", and then I added the last "flower" a little below that oneall on Dimentionals. Lastly, you'll add the "Lily of the Valley" - tucked behind right flower.
Next, place the completed "arch" onto the card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with Old Olive double twine bow, and Petal Pink Charming Dots, and a little wink of Stella on the flowers!.

Purple Caterpillar

I was looking for a quick card for my Senior gals that used the die cuts from the Cute As a Bug DSP, and found this idea by Melva Peters. I tweaked the colors a bit, and I am glad that I did! I hadn't used this background paper, yet, that has a more Vanilla background, it also has some darling, tiny bees! (Hence, the bee die cut!). I think they'll like it!

Measurements:

Blackberry Bliss: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 3 1/2",
Very Vanilla: 2 3/4" x 3", 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Basic White: scrap
Cute as a Bee DSP (MC): 4" x 5 1/4" (berry print), 1/2" x 4" strip (inside), 2 die cuts

To Make This Card:

Adhere DSP to folded Blackberry Bliss card base.
Attach the other 2 layers together, and attach to card front.
Die cut 2 images from DSP. Add to card front with Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto scrap of White. Fussy cut around words. Adhere to card with Dimensionals.
Finish card with scattered Purple Fine Shimmer Gems and bow with new Berry Burst Shiny ribbon.
