Stampin’ Up! Easter Lilies Easter Card Plus a Bonus Card

Happy Friday! I created this card using the Easter Lilies Stamp Set, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, as well as some masking, blending and fussy cutting! I originally created another card using both the Easter Lilies Stamp Set and the Easter Lilies Dies and then realized that the Easter Lilies Dies are currently unavailable. I hate when I forget to check inventory before creating a card for you! The plus is that you get two cards today – the card shown above using just the stamp set and the card at the bottom of this blog post using both the stamp set and dies. The Easter Lilies Dies are expected to be back in stock about mid-April. If you already own the Easter Lilies Dies…then you are all set!

On a white panel measuring 5-1/4″ x 4″ I masked off a cross on the upper right of the panel using 1/2″ wide Washi Tape. 1/2″ wide Post It Tape or Masking Paper would also work. I used a Blending Brush to blend Highland Heather ink from the top right to the lower left of the panel, making sure to blend ink over the masked area, then I carefully removed the mask. The lily was stamped onto the panel just to the lower left of the cross in Gorgeous Grape ink. I used a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to outline the stamen at the center of the flower. The entire lily was colored in using a Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend and then I darkened the tips and centers of each petal using Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends. To make the flower even more dramatic, I used a Blender Pen to blend Gorgeous Grape ink to create shadows behind the petals. This step helps to better define the petals. To complete the image, I used a white gel pen to dot each of the petals.

The “He is Risen” sentiment was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the lower left of the panel. I then used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the panel. The panel was adhered to a Highland Heather mat, then adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A second lily was stamped onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock in Gorgeous Grape ink. I colored the lily the same as I did the first lily. A pair of paper snips were used to fussy cut this second flower and the image was cut out right up to the stamped outline (no white border). I used a bone folder to curl the flower petals under, then adhered this fussy cut flower to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was positioned so that it slightly overlaps the stamped flower on the panel at the lower right.

An additional sentiment was stamped onto the inside panel in Gorgeous Grape ink. The palm leaf image was second generation stamped in Granny Apple Green ink over the sentiment. The panel was then adhered to a Highland Heather mat, then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same palm leaf image was first, and second generation stamped onto the envelope front and stamped once on the envelope flap in Granny Apple Green ink. I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front to finish up the project.

Here is Card #2 (the original card that I created):

The card front is basically the same except that I have a single die cut lily on the card front instead of stamped and fussy cut lilies. I used the Easter Lilies Dies to die cut the flower pieces from Highland Heather cardstock. The stamen was die cut from Crushed Curry cardstock and the leaves were die cut from Parakeet Party cardstock. I used a Sponge Dauber to darken the petal tips and bases of the lily using Gorgeous Grape ink. The centers of the petals were left lighter. The tips of the stamen were blended with Pumpkin Pie ink. The leaves were blended with Granny Apple Green ink – and again I left the centers of the leaves lighter.

A bone folder was used to curl the petals of the lily under and the flower was assembled using liquid glue. I used a white gel pen to dot each petal of the flower. I determined placement of the leaves then adhere these to the card front using liquid glue. The lily was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The remainder of the card was completed the same as the first card.

I really love how these cards turned out and I hope you’ll give this project a try! If you would like to recreate either of these cards you can download, save and print the pdf tutorial by clicking on the image below.

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend!
