    Here are the projects prepared by the team:

     

    CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

    Caren in-laid the butterflies onto a yellow patterned paper and heat-embossed her sentiment in white.  She also added some sparkling jewels to finish her design.

     

    GUEST DT – LINDSAY ADREON

     

    Lindsay will have her own blog post and/or video to show you how she made her cards.

     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

    Lisa inked up her background with different distress oxide inks.  She used the butterfly backdrop die to die-cut some white card stock and dry-emboss it with an embossing folder.  She also used the “Thank You” script sentiment die to finish her design.

     

    MARIA RUSSELL

     

    I wanted to show you guys that you can also use the die for another purpose – not just for die-cutting.  I used the Butterfly Backdrop die to ink up my background with Fossilized Amber and Picked Raspberry distress oxide inks.  I then used my embossing mat to dry-emboss the butterflies on the card stock to give it more dimension.  I added the “You Will Forever be my Always” using the two distress oxide inks I used for my butterflies.  To finish my design, I added some sparkling jewels and Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste.  Here’s  a closer look:

     

     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

     

    Priscilla has made quite a few projects today and you will be seeing her posts and/or video on how she made her cards.  I can’t even pick a favorite! Thank you Priscilla, you rock!

     

     

     

    TINA DORNBAUM

     

    Tina inked up her background with some distress oxide inks.  She also die-cut the butterflies  using the die and adhered them onto her colored background.  She used the sentiment “With Sympathy and Love” and finished her design by adding some sparkling clear jewels.

    For the second day of the reveals, we are showcasing the He is Risen dies.  Here’s what it looks like:

     

     

    I finally received the dies today and I couldn’t wait to play with the He Is Risen die set.  Just to let you know, the other design team members are not able to participate in this release today because of their religious belief.

     

    CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

     

    Caren Used a Sunburst Stencil to ink up her background with some distress oxide inks.  She die-cut the grass from some patterned paper and adhered the same, with some liquid adhesive.  She die-cut the clouds with some glittered card stock and the crosses using some light gray card stock.  She adhered the die-cuts on her card and added “Easter Blessings” as her sentiment.

     

    GUEST DT – LINDSAY ADREON

    Our guest designer this month is Lindsay Adreon and she created this beautiful card with the dies.  She inked up her background with some distress inks and added the white clouds.  She die-cut the crosses and also added the grass that are all inked up with distress inks.  Lindsay also used the zigzag dies and finished her design by adding some sparkling clear jewels and stamped the word “Blessings” as her sentiment. She will have a video showing how she made her cards.

     

     

    For Lindsay’s second card, she colored her watercolor card stock with some Arteza brush pens and created this gorgeous background.  She die-cut an oval vellum using the oval zig zag die and also die-cut the crosses with some black card stock.  So pretty!

     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

    Can you say less is more?  I absolutely ADORE this card by Lisa.  She die-cut the crosses on some kraft card stock and layered a ribbon on it.  The gorgeous white background with some teal patterned paper made this card super classy.

     

    Another beautiful card by Lisa.  She used the zigzag rectangle die and used the crosses from the He is Risen die set to die-cut the middle and adhered this piece on some script patterned paper.

     

    MARIA RUSSELL

    I inked up my Bristol Smooth white card stock with some distress oxide inks in rainbow colors.  I used Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet.  I sprayed some water using my distress sprayer and blot it dry with my paper towel.  I used the Sunburst Embossing Folder by Sunny Studio to dry-emboss my colored background.  I die-cut the crosses from some black card stock using the He is Risen die set and adhered the same on my background.  I die-cut a piece of some white card stock using the Fancy Scalloped Border dies for my hill.  To finish my design I added some sparkling clear jewels.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

    Priscilla created this wonderful background using different distress oxide inks.  Isn’t it beautiful?  She will have her own blog post and/or video showing you how she made this card.  She die-cut the crosses from the He is Risen die set with some black card stock and adhered the same on her colored background.  She added the Happy Easter line border by Lawn Fawn as her sentiment and finished her design by adding some sparkling clear jewels.

    CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

     

    Caren used some really cute patterned papers to die cut the basket, the bow and the grass hill from the Crafter’s Essentials – Easter dies set.  She die-cut the little chickie with some white card stock and colored it in with some Copic markers.  Caren also used the new Zigzag Rectangle dies and added the sentiment “Happy Easter”.  I love that she mixed and matched a couple of products from the shop.

     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

     

    For Lisa’s first project, She stamped and colored the bunny, carrots and easter eggs and die-cut the same with the coordinating dies.  She inked up her background with some distress oxide inks and added the clouds to create her seen.  She die-cut the basket from the Crafter’s Essentials Easter dies set on brown patterned paper.  To finish her design, she added the little pop-up Happy Easter sentiment.

     

     

    For Lisa’s second project, She die-cut the bunny from the Crafter’s Essentials Easter Dies three times on different patterned papers.  To make it more fun, she added the Bunny Tails Pom Pom from the shop.  She used a Polka dot embossing folder to dry emboss her white card stock and adhered this piece on blue patterned paper.  She adhered the three bunnies using foam tape, and added “Hello Spring” as her sentiment.

     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

     

    For Priscilla’s first project, she used the Zig Zag Rectangle dies, Easter Egg Hunt Sequin Mix, the Black & White Heart Sprinkles, and the Bunny Tails White Pom-Poms.  She also added the easter eggs in pastel colors and use a grass border die to die-cut it in white.  I love that she added some googly eye to the bunny.

     

     

     

    For Priscilla’s second project, she die-cut the bunny, bow, basket and butterflies using the  Crafter’s Essentials Easter dies set.  She also used the Spring Fling 6×6 paper pack from Echo Park and Easter Egg Hunt Sequin Mix.

     

    TINA DORNBAUM

    For Tina’s first card, she created this BEAUTIFUL pastel-themed background.  She die-cut the little chickie and the egg shell using the Crafter’s Essentials Dies set and colored the chick with alcohol marker.  She added some white jewels to embellish and finish her card design.
