HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY and Good Morning to all of My Crafty Friends,
EASTER CARDS ARE FINALLY FINISHED!!!!
It was really hard to decide what I wanted. There are two different ideas that I wanted to try, when I started this card, I knew it was the one I want, and finally I could use my "VELLUM PAPER", which by the way are the baskets that the eggs are sitting in..
Cards open up long ways instead of the usual way.

CARDSTOCK will be cut at 4 1/4"x 11, which this is your CARD itself. And 2 cards can be made from 1 sheet of cardstock.
Cardstock cut at 4 1/4"x 5 1/2", which this is your highlighted background
WHITE VELLUM is cut at 4 1/4"x 11", and you can see picture on how to...
After all cardstock is cut to size, let's do some Easter Eggs.After you cut out a few of the eggs, wrap the Ribbon around top of egg and secure with a small piece of tape
Next would to stamp out all smaller pieces. When stamped, punch out all pieces.
Set aside when all cut out.Use The Cuttle Bug or The Big Shot to make your highlighted background sheet.(small than the greeting card).
Set aside when finished... Let's move on to make the Baskets for the Easter Eggs.
Do as Shown
Repeat. Follow picture.
FOLD tip downwards to form a pocket.
Press to keep seam.
Use a small handheld hole puncher.
Soft Subtles BRADS
Punch thru, in center to attach Tag.
Slide egg into Vellum fold, hold and wrap end point around egg. Press to keep fold, then tape in back to secure basket.
Attach Egg to Swirl paper. Make sure before you do that you have it measured and cut down to highlight the inside of front. Once satified, glue to Very Vanilla.
Now glue the entirepiece to the CARDFRONT itself.
Continue to Glue accents to Cardfront. and these can be glue in different spots, its just a matter of taste and your judgement.
Now let's add some super highlights,which of course, it's gots to have GLITTER.Trace the Swirls on the Very Vanilla paper, add more glue thand normal, because by the time you do too much outlining the glue starts to DRY, and then you have to slightly go over it again.
Allow time for DRYING, Maybe 10-15 minutes. Because we really want the glue to grab the glitter to hold it in place. we will lose some glitter just by moving them around, from a safe place to the envelope.
I hope this wasn't too confusing, everyone naturally will have his or her way of doing things, whatsever better for you.
I also hope to see ya soon again, until next time.
Keep ink on your fingers and paper on the floor,
Harriet
