I had so much fun playing with this release that I have four cards to share with you today. So let's get started.
Happy Easter! My first card features these absolutely adorable critters from the new EGGstraordinary set. This set is packed with these super cute critters as well as that fun egg crate.
I stamped the images from the EGGstraordinary set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating EGGstraordinary Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

Chicks: Y11/13/15/17 YR27, Y38 YR04, R20

Yellow: Y11/13
For the background, I took three pieces of Bristol Smooth cardstock (5.5" x 5.5") and created a background by lightly ink blending some Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. Once the ink was dried, I used a couple of the dies from the Waves and Scallops Border Dies to diecut the grassy hills. I added a few dots with a Copic marker (YG03) for a bit of interest on the grassy portion.
I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Easter Flag Stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I diecut the sentiment out with the coordinating Easter Flag Dies.
I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the panel with liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of interest. The panel was then adhered to a white cardbase (5.5" x 5.5").
We Go Together Like Pizza & Soda Pop! My second card first card features the super fun Food Pairs set. This adorable set includes five super food pairs and coordinating sentiments.
I stamped the image from the Food Pairs set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Food Pairs Dies to diecut it out. I colored it with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

For the background, I took three pieces of kraft cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and stamped the all of the food pairs and the ampersand sign with Hero Arts white pigment ink. Once the ink was dry, I trimmed it with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Set 2 Dies. I added a piece of craft foam onto the back side of the panel before adhering it to an A2 white card base (4.25" x 5.5").
I used the fifth smallest die from the Stitched Squares Dies to diecut a square out of white cardstock. I stamped one of the sentiments from the set onto the square with Memento Tuxedo Black and Versafine Satin Red inks. I added a piece of craft foam onto the back side of the square before adhering it to the kraft panel. I adhered the colored image with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
Happy Easter! My third is a fun Easter shaker card featuring this adorable stack of bunnies from the new Easter Flag set, the new Stitched Oblong Oval Dies set and the new Easter Mix Confetti.
I stamped the images from the Easter Flag Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Easter Flag Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Bunny: C00/0/1/3, R00/30
Eggs: RV10/21, Y11/13, YG01/03, B000/00/02, V01/12
For the background, I used dies from the Stitched Oblong Oval Dies and the largest largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Set 2 Dies to trim a piece of pink cardstock. A piece of clear acetate and foam tape were adhered to the backside of the panel to create a shaker window.
Next, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (5.5" x 5.5") and created a background by lightly ink blending some Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. The new Easter Mix Confetti was added to the shaker before I closed off the back with the inked panel.
The panel was adhered to an A2 white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). Finally, I adhered the colored images onto the card front.
Happy Easter! My last card is a slimline card featuring these sweet mice from the new Mice Spring, the Stitched Egg Dies and the Pink Sticky Gems.
I stamped the images from the Mice Spring Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Mice Spring Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

For the background, I used the new Stitched Eggs Dies to add windows into a piece of purple cardstock. I used the windows as a guide to ink blend a light background with some Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (8.5" x 3.75").
For the sentiment, I stamped of one of the sentiments from the set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of anti-static treated black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. The sentiment was then trimmed out with one of the dies from the Large Sentiment Strip Dies.
