Easter Theme Week- Day 4

Hello, it’s Jeanne here for another day of inspiration for Easter theme week. Every holiday makes me feel a little sentimental because it brings back memories of special moments from my childhood, and from time spent with my own children.  Easter always has me laughing about rainbow-colored fingers from egg painting.

When I was young we would soak our eggs in the cups of dye until they turned the darkest shade of violet or chartreuse. Sometimes it would seem like forever. Maybe you remember making colorful stripes on the eggs or personalizing them with the clear wax crayon included in the dye pack. 

I’m sharing a trio of cards today with colorful striped backgrounds made with Stacked Edges dies. If  you’ve never tried these you should! You’ll love how the borders fit together perfectly keeping your card front smooth and flat – something you CAN’T accomplish with regular borders.

I like to cut three borders at a time. A little wax paper helps free them from the stitched die, and before you know it you’ll have lots of borders in a rainbow of colors. 

The striped backgrounds are topped with images from the Easter Circles stamp set. Even if you don’t celebrate Easter, the pretty spring images like the daffodil and flower bouquet are total eye candy. 

Each of the “Circles” Series stamp sets has a different complimentary die set that can be used as a tag, label, or beautiful frame for the stamps. I used the Easter Circles die and layered it over the Fall Circles coordinating die.

You can achieve lots of different looks with just a few different die sets – each one prettier than the next! 

I hope my cards inspired you to create some colorful Easter projects. There are so many possibilities with these dies and stamps!
