CARD #3! This is my final (and third) Easter card for you today using the Stampin’ Up! Excellent Eggs dies. Missed Card #1? You can see it here. Missed Card #2? You can see it here.
WHAT I LOVE! The first card and WOW! video showed how the small egg die cuts pieces you can mix for a cool mosaic look. The second card and WOW! video played up the scallop, zig zag and curved dies. Finally, in this card, you’ll see how the patterns of designer series paper (Poetic Expressions) can create quick impact.

PROJECT TUTORIAL:
Begin by burnishing the fold of the Bubble Bath card base with a Bone Folder.
Adhere the Basic White layer to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Wrap the Wild Wheat layer with gold Elegant Trim, securing with a bow.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) to crop the Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper. TIP: Be conscious where you cut. I made sure this pattern was centered within the die and used Post-It Tape to hold the die in place when cutting with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Adhere to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Rub the Bubble Bath card stock with an Embossing Buddy.
Use a Clear Block C to stamp the sentiment (Layering Leaves Stamp Set) in Versamark Ink onto the Bubble Bath card stock.
Cover with gold Metallics Embossing Powder. Tap to remove excess. Set with a Heat Tool.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) to crop with the Excellent Eggs largest egg die and the top and bottom of the sentiment with the Excellent Eggs curved edge die.
Adhere to egg with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) to crop the Gold Foil with the Excellent Egg bunny die.
Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish as shown with Petal Pink Blooming Pearls.
PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/4 Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. IMPORTANT: Add glue to the flap first, not the DSP. Center and line up the Basic Borders decorative edge die, tape to secure (Post-It Tape) and crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard).
