Sneak Peek: Easter Blessings

Hello, Jeanne here today sharing inspiration using the new Easter Blessings stamp set (releasing on March 1st)!

This is a three piece 3 x 4 stamp set  with coordinating die cuts. Being a Christian, Easter is a time of rebirth. This simple cross image with intertwined vines is a reminder that old things have passed away and that all things become new.

As a child I was always happy to see Lent end – it meant we could again indulge in the things we “gave up” and abstained from. Most of the time this was candy and sweets – a difficult for a child. Easter Day was always a celebration – my sisters and I would receive new dresses with matching bonnets, gloves and purses to wear to church.

I made a simple color block background from strips of colorful card stock cut with the solid stitched border from Stitched Borders 3.   I started with the two strips that form a “T” (the pink and blue) and then added the others alternating pastel colors.   Does it remind you of a basket?

I altered the sentiment to remove the word “Easter”.  I think this card would be perfect for Baptism, Communion or Confirmation.  I simply put a piece of tape over the part of the stamp I didn’t want to ink (the word “Easter”), inked the stamp, removed the tape and then stamped the sentiment.

The Scallop Oval Dies make a beautiful setting for the cross, and don’t cover up the colorful background.

The finishing touch?  A few pretty Pink Blush sequins of course!  They make everything better!

We hope that you enjoyed today’s sneak peek of the new Easter Blessings set. Join us tomorrow as we reveal another stamp set!
