10 Minute Easter Card + Video

Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I have a 10 minute card challenge card for you all. As much as I love to create very full on cards that take a lot of time I also enjoy creating very simple and quick cards. So today I thought it would be fun to do the challenge. For my card today I’m using the Easter Blessings stamp set along with the Scallop Oval dies.

Watch the video above   I  Watch the video in HD on YouTubeTo begin my card today I first stamped out the cross image from the Easter Blessings stamp set with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White Cardstock and coloured it in with Copic Markers. I used YG01, YG23 and YG17 for the leaves and E51, E53 and E55 for the cross part. I then used the coordinating dies to cut it out. While I had my Big Shot machine out, I also cut out the Scallop Oval die using some white cardstock. Once all my die cutting was done, I could work on my background.

For my background I did a super quick and easy watercolour background. I first blended on some Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink quite messily and then went in with some clean water and spread out the colour using the brush. This creates a fun watercolour background that’s quite pale and light, and it’s also very quick and easy to do! Once my background was done I dried it off with my heat tool and now I could assemble.

Before adhering everything down, I stamped out my sentiment onto the bottom centre of my card, using the same Easter Blessings stamp set with some Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then added foam tape onto the back of my frame and my image and adhered those down into the centre of my card. I popped up the entire panel on some fun foam and adhered it down to a pre-made card base. For a last finishing touch I went ahead and added some Wink of Stella to my cross image in the centre and that finished up the card.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and were inspired to either make a quick and simple card or to try and make a card in 10 minutes. This style of card can be used for so many different occasions just with a switch up of some colours, images and a sentiment. I think I’ll be using this design for a lot of cards now that I need quickly.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
