Hello and welcome back! I’ve got an Easter card today made with the sweet little Easter Kitten stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. This little kitten has gotten herself in a little trouble as she has been wrapped up into the Easter basket she was hiding in! Honestly, as I’m typing this up, I’m thinking “What was I thinking when I made this card!”.
I coloured my images with Copic markers (I’m sorry, but I forgot to write down which ones I used). I fussy cut them out and used my craft knife to cut out the area just under the handle of the basket. Then I wrapped some ribbon around the handle and made a little bow. I popped the additional eggs up on foam tape and attached them to the front of the basket. Here’s where it gets a little weird - I cut a piece of cello wrap and wrapped up my image and tied it off with another piece of ribbon. It’s a bit hard to see in the photo, but in real life, it does look like the kitten is in a gift bag.
For the background, I dug into my stash of ribbons to make a slightly woven background. I applied some double sided tape to the back of the card front at the top and bottom of the card. Starting at the top, I adhered strips of ribbon, trying to space them out evenly. Then I wove three strips of ribbon through the vertical strips and adhered them to the back of the card with some more double sided tape. Finally, I adhered the vertical strips to the bottom where I’d already placed the tape. Then I used glue to attach the card front to the card base.
I then stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink and clear heat embossed it. I used a rounded rectangle die to cut it out and then attached it to the front with double sided tape. Finally, I used double sided tape to adhere my gift wrapped kitten onto the ribbon background. I just love the surprised look on that kitten’s face!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great day!
