Stampin’ Up! Easter Friends
Today I used the super cute Easter Friends Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Mini catalog to create an Easter card that is quick and easy for crafters of all levels to re-create.
The bunny and chicks in this set are just so stinkin’ adorable! And even though there are no coordinating dies, the images are really easy to cut out with scissors.
Background Paper
I used paper that I got for free during Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration sale but one of the nice things about this design is that any paper you have on hand will look beautiful. Although, I would recommend going with a subtle paper pattern so the bunny stands out as the focal point.
Stepping it Up
The images in the Easter Friends stamp set are so cute that you can just stamp them and add a sentiment. But if you want to step it up a bit, you can add some additional shading and some pink to the bunny’s nose, like I did.
