A Good Egg Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Happy Easter! Hope you have a beautiful day! So far, no rain…and the spring flowers have their fancy dress on!

This was the Easter card I sent out this year. I have loved A Good Egg for years and every year borrowed my friend's set during the stamping retreat. This year I decided to purchase it for myself. It is just one of the good all-around Easter sets!

I used a base of Regal Rose and layered on Daffodil Delight that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. I used a strip of Nursery Suite Designer Paper along the left side. For my focal element, I went back to the Sale-A-Bration set, Sweet Summer, and used the stem of leaves for the base of my tulip flower. Then I stamped the egg shell from A Good Egg on the Designer Paper and cut it out, popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on top of the leaf stem. Stamped the Chick on Daffodil Delight and cut her out…colored her beak Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the little birdie from Sweet Summer and colored with Early Espresso. I also hand drew some grass along the base of the stem.

I layered the Whisper White panel on Regal Rose and used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the left side. I stamped Happy Easter from A Good Egg in Early Espresso, punched with the Large Oval and layered on the Scallop Oval punched from Nursery Suite. This was popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and added a butterfly with Rhinestone Jewel body.

I thought it made a FUN Easter card! Enjoy your day. We have about 12 coming over for Easter Dinner…better get back to cooking and setting the table!

I must admit that this is not my creation! I cased this card for my Easter Card this year (and, sorry, I can't remember whose it is…if it is yours, let me know!) I thought it was DARLING! I'm just didn't get time to make up one for the challenge this week, so thought I'd show this one.

The base card is So Saffron with a layer of Bermuda Bay over top. I used the Welcome Neighbor Designer Paper (from SAB) for the clouds in the background. The cracked egg is from Stampin' Up!'s A Good Egg…I borrowed the set at the Retreat a few weeks ago from my friend, Dina. I WILL buy this set if it isn't on the retired list! I end up using hers every year! lol

The chick is punched with the 1 1/4 circle from So Saffron cardstock, then I punched a strip of Whisper White with the 1" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches for the hat. The bunny ears are two petals from the 5 Petal Punch in Pretty in Pink, then I traced them on Whisper White and cut them out slightly larger. The wings of the Chick are the small heart punch and I just cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie for the beak. I sponged around the edges with More Mustard and used the White Gel Pen to highlight some areas. I just cut the grass from Certainly Celery free-hand and drew on the eye and legs. Finally, I stamped Happy Easter from A Good Egg and punched with the Word Window punch, then layered it on the Modern Label punch from Bermuda Bay!

Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!
