Simply Saturday…a quick Easter Design

Published by Julia Stainton at 8:03 am under Card Designs

Today I thought I’d share a quick Easter design with you…

Just a fun, quick little Easter design. I just love the pretty little chicks on this patterned paper. Wouldn’t they make a darling baby card as well? Unfortunately…I made this card a little while ago and I just can’t think of the name of this paper! I hate it when that happens!

Spring Chicks

Because the patterned paper on this design was soooo subtle…I had to keep the layout and other colors subtle as well. I stitched the patterned paper onto my white cardstock base to add some subtle interest and texture. Some green velvet May Arts ribbon adds softness and gives a place to “anchor” the tag and flower embellishments. The little tag is a vellum tag that has been layered with punched cardstock circles. In the center, a white Spring Basic Grey rub-on adds the sentiment…colored eggs & baby chicks & baskets. I love the little egg sentiment paired up with the chicks. Prima flower, rub-ons and May Arts ribbon from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.

Hope your Saturday is simply wonderful. Happy Easter!

    I love this simple, subtle, Easter card! The sentiment is sweet, and the single ribbon and tag do not distract you from the lovely subtle dp! Thanks for sharing it! Happy Easter!!

    Julie, this design is wonderful! Yup. love that paper too. Maybe you could have a contest on “name that paper..” ;)
    My favorite part of this card is how you used the prima. Perfect as the paper is so subtle that it only makes sense to have part of the flower showing! TFS Janet in NC

    This is so soft and lovely. With other subtle paper and a different tag, wouldn’t that make a nice sympathy card?

    Your cards *never* look simple, J! This is so pretty! I love the little white egg on the tag and your stitching! I wish I could use Prima’s like you. (I’m flower-challenged!!!)
