Easter Bunny card swap

Each year on the Craft Telly forum, we have an Easter bunny secret card swap, followed by guessing games on who sent which card.

This card is from last year's swap, so I'm not giving anything away by posting it! I used one of the lovely Kanban A4 scalloped cards, covered inside and out with DCWV spring collection papers.

I decorated the card with bunnies and floral 3D projects from TBZ embossed and gilded step by step decoupage sheets, and co-ordinating DCWV embellishments. I also added a ribbon (making a slit in the card to secure it at the back) and put the Happy Easter message onto this, using DCWV letter stickers.

An Easter card

Here's an Easter card that I made last year for a card swap on the CraftTelly forum.

The base card is pale blue. I've used Easter Dufex silver motif and greeting toppers, matted onto a metallic blue background with double sided foam.

The card has also been embellished with eggs and a greeting from the Magic Motifs Easter pack. The eggs were foiled with silver rub on foil, and the Happy Easter greeting glittered with silver ultra fine art glitter.

Easter card making supplies

With Easter rapidly approaching, I thought it would be handy to do a round up of what's available at Foil Play for making Easter cards. First of all, the cute selection of new Patchwork Kingdom Easter characters designed by Beth Huges, with co-ordinating background papers. The Easter hen is pictured above.
Also new, two foiled die cut sheets from Kanban containing a selection of Easter toppers and greetings, with co-ordinating daffodil and Easter egg background card sheets.
There is a selection of traditional 3D step by step decoupage sheets featuring cute bunnies and chicks, if you prefer religious images, there are plenty of those available too.
I have just stocked up again on Easter greetings peel offs with several designs available to choose from in gold, silver and yellow, and also on Mother's Day greetings peel offs.
Dufex has a range of Easter goodies available, including the die cut decoupage kit pictured above, which contains a die cut sheet, a non die cut elements sheet and a project sheet.
This Dufex sheet with cute chicks and bunnies is available in both die cut and traditional decoupage formats.
If you have a lot of Easter cards to make, this Dufex topper sheet is great value, it contains many different motifs and greetings. There is also a lovely co-ordinating Easter egg patterened texture sheet.
These cute magic motifs can be used with foil, glitter or flock. Even better, they are priced to clear!
Last but not least, if you are quick, you'll be able to snap up the last few Easter Egg and Easter basket brass charms in stock.
