March Card Class Projects - Easter

Welcome to my Easter Card projects for the month of March. 

The first card we created was this super cute Easter Egg card. The egg shape was transferred onto a card base measuring 7"x 5". When transferring the egg shape, make sure to have the shape overlap the left side a bit. Reason being, so you have a card base that actually opens ;-) if you fit your shape right in the center of the card all you create are two egg shapes.
The yellow egg shape is cut about 1/2" smaller than the base and run through an embossing machine. 
All flowers have been cut from the Close to My Heart Cricut Cartridge "Flower Market".  

Here is an example of a religious Easter card which could be transferred into a Sympathy card as well. The card base is a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the fold is on the top. I have the window cut out of the card base front and placed a piece of vellum right over it. I glued it on the outside of the card since it will be covered with the brick part later.
I used a piece of cardstock to cut out the decorative window and while the window is adhered right in the center of the vellum, the other part of the paper is run through an embossing machine to create the brick pattern.
I found this phrase online and it was just the right one to use for this card.
When you sent this card out, make sure the owner knows that they can place a LED light inside to have the light shine through the window. 

Here is a take on on bookmark cards. You can never have enough bookmarks right? Well how about sending some greetings and including a little reminder too?
The card base is a 7" x 5" card. I folded the front part in half and adhered it to the other half. Now your card front is a half front, while the back side stays intact. Place some red sticky tape on the front half inside. Just on the top and the bottom this way you create a pocked that can hold your bookmark.

The bookmark is covered with the same papers and if you like, add a little greeting or poem to the back of it.




Last but not least, here is a card with a special little gift on the front. You can find these silver crosses in all varieties and sizes at your local retailers. I used a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square card base and your fold can be either on the left or on the top, like mine is. 
I cut two layers for the front. The cardstock was raised with foam dots, but hold on with the design paper layer until the cross is adhered. I simply threaded both ribbons through the cross. I then adhered both ribbon ends on the left side at the back of the paper. Make sure the cross is right side up and the ribbons are nice and flat before you adhere the other ends to the back. Now it is time to adhere the piece in the center of the cards stock. 

This is just a little sneak peek of the cards in March. Make sure to tune back Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays to see more detailed information about how each card was created.
