CARD #2! Today I have THREE Easter cards for you created with the Stampin’ Up! Excellent Eggs dies. Once I started playing with the dies, I simply couldn’t stop! I even made two 1 Minute to WOW! Videos for a quick peek at the possibilities.
WHAT I LOVE! Card #2 plays up the scallop, zig zag and curved dies. Watch my WOW! video below for simple tips on how to cut the designs to fit the egg perfectly!

Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) to crop the following with the Excellent Eggs Dies:
- Coastal Cabana – scalloped edge die – qty 2 (top and bottom)

- Designer Series Paper – curved die
- Early Espresso – largest egg die (your base)
Crop the Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lolly and Designer Series Paper die-cuts with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) and the Excellent Eggs largest egg die so that the edges of the die-cuts match the edges of the Early Espresso die-cut egg.

Wrap the egg with Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, securing with a bow.
