Wish friends and family a Happy Easter with this cute, fun and easy to make holiday card!
Designed by: Grace Tolman
Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Level: Moderate Handiness
Size: 5 ½ x 4 ¼”
Notes: I love coloring in images to match my card. With this card, I used some alcohol markers to create my colorful cluster of Easter Eggs.
Here's what you need:
- Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape™
- Glue Dots® Micro Dots
- Ink
- Embossing powder
- Lawn Fawn Happy Easter stamp
- Markers
- Scissors
- Cardstock - White and Yellow
- Pattern papers- Lawn Fawn Let’s Polka in the Meadow
- Sequins
Here's what you do:
Cut and fold white cardstock into cards.
Cut a piece of blue with white dot paper 1/8” smaller than the card base.
Cut out a circle panel on the center of the piece. Cut a circle frame using a green diagonal paper with the same circle die to create the window, plus the next bigger circle in the nesting die set. Set both pieces aside.
On a separate piece of white paper, stamp the bunny and a bunch of Easter egg images. Color them in using alcohol markers.
Hand cut the bunny and cut out the Easter egg cluster with a circle die slightly bigger than the circle window made on the green diagonal paper.
Add some sparkle to the images using a Shimmer pen.
Adhere the Easter egg cluster onto to the window cut from the green diagonal paper with Micro Dots. Make sure you center it to fill the window. Use Permanent GlueTape™ to attach the Easter egg circle to the blue with white dots paper.
Cut out a ¾” strip from yellow paper. Stamp and heat emboss the sentiment “happy Easter”. Cut end of the strip so that there is a notch and adhere to the strip to the card using Permanent GlueTape. Trim off any excess yellow paper from the card base.
Adhere the bunny and sequins to the card using Micro Dots.

I’m a mom to a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. Therefore my life is usually filled with learning, new discovery, bribery and driving to and from all of our activities. I have a loving and very supportive husband of 11 years. When the kids have gone to bed at night, my time is spent crafting while catching up on my favorite shows and movies. I also enjoy reading, window shopping, knitting and perusing blogs for inspirations. Three years ago we moved to Colorado from California and we are enjoying our new environment. I feel very inspired with my new home, my new scrapbook space and the mountain views. Although I’ve been doing some type of scrapbooking since grade school, I only started to scrapbook seriously after my son was born. When he was born I knew I would be staying at home with him but coming from a fast paced sales job I was afraid I would ran out of things to do during the day. Little did I know that with newborns you won’t have any time to do anything else. Anyways, after going through a basic scrapbooking class I was hooked and haven’t stopped scrapping since.
