Happy Easter! Rain or Shine Release from Simon Says Stamp

Spring has arrived and what better way to celebrate than with an adorable Easter card? Simon Says Stamp’s Rain or Shine release is filled with fresh, cheerful products perfect for the season! Today I am sharing a card that features some of my favorites from the collection.

This card features the Darling Duckling wafer dies and the Argyle Builder stencil set. The Darling Duckling is the star of this card. It was so easy to die cut and now the dies have no tabs to snip. That is such a great feature!

The soft, textured background, created by using the 3 piece Argyle Builder stencil is giving this card a classic, Springy look. Stenciling is a fun and simple technique that always gives great results.

I also used the following Simon Says Products:

~Hippity Hoppity stamps and dies (sentiment)

~Spring Time Celebration Plate (floral accents)

~Seafoam and Surf Pawsitively Saturated Inks

Combining all of these products made the sweetest Easter card.

Easter Greetings : Favorite Things Release from Simon Says Stamp

This gift with purchase will expire 3/2 at 11:59 pm EST or while supplies last.

For today’s card, I created a soft and elegant Easter card using a mix of textures and die cuts and featuring the brand new Blessings at Easter stamp set.

I used the following products to create my card:

~Blessings at Easter stamp set

~Scalloped Gift Tag dies

~Pretty Bows die set

~Basketweave Embossing Folder

~Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Seafoam and Latte

I started with a white card base and lightly splattered it with Seafoam ink for a subtle effect. The main focal point is a beautiful, stamped egg hanging onto a framed scallop die cut tag. To add dimension, I layered the tag over a kraft, woven embossed panel. A delicate die cut bow adds a finishing touch, and the “Greetings” sentiment, ties it all together.

This card is perfect for celebrationg the season! I hope you will head over to Simon Says Stamp and check out the whole release! https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/collections/favorite-things
