Mindy used a masking technique, stenciling and ink blending to create the beautiful Easter eggs on her sweet card. There’s more inking in green around the card edges, a sweet die cut bunny and a stamped and die cut sentiment too. Learn all about it over on the Hero Arts blog.
There’s still a little time left to create cards for Easter. One of the most iconic symbols for Easter are eggs, symbolizing new life and of course there’s a long tradition of coloring them with dyes, hiding them, rolling them (for a lawn game) and including them in Easter baskets. So today let’s take a look at some egg-cellent examples of including eggs on Easter cards using stamps, dies and more.

How utterly adorable is this matchbook card from Karen! She created a stamped scene of rabbits painting eggs in the work shop getting ready for the big day. The pop-out design folds neatly into a matchbook style that would be fun tucked into an Ester basket. Take a close look at the Art Impressions blog.
Jean die cut a trio of eggs from pretty pastel papers, adding dry embossing to two of them. The center egg has a detailed die cut with a second color pieced into some openings. Some Spring flowers and a die cut sentiment finish off the design perfectly. Find more info at the Spellbinders blog.
Samantha stamped a sweet scene of three baskets filled with candy, flowers and chicks with the Easter Bunny peeking around. But the star of the show is that amazing die cut frame, she cut it from pink cardstock and backed the eggs in pastels, adding sequins for a bit of shine. Find the details at the Lawn Fawn blog.
These stunning egg cards from Anna uses an egg shaped card base with pretty pastel pattern paper backgrounds. On top she layered lots of sweet embellishments from Mintay Papers like flowers, birds, bunnies, baby animals, butterflies and sentiment strips. I spotted these on her Anna Komenda Instagram page.
Kelly created a beautiful watercolor background using inks to place behind her die cut Easter eggs. In the center is a stamped sentiment and there’s some butterflies and bows for extra dimension too. Ceck out her step by step directions at the Papertrey Ink blog.
This elegant card from Nichol has wonderful layers and depth. The background is a die cut Spring pattern with florals and bunnies backed with shimmery vellum paper. She created a “nest” from leaves and flowers with inked die cut eggs in the center with a glittery bow. There’s also some more leaves cut from the same shimmer vellum. Watch her video tutorial at Simon Says Stamp.
This bright sunny card from Amy R. uses products from Pretty Pink Posh. She die cut the fringe egg from subtle printed pattern paper, inking them and placed them on die cut grass with a few daisies and added lots of ink splatter. There’s a tiny sentiment and scalloped border in white to pull the eye towards all the color in the center. Watch her video tutorial at the Prairie Paper and Ink blog.
Cherry made these amazing egg shaped cards with stamped bunnies, adding honeycomb pop-up paper for the eggs each rabbit is holding. I love all the little details she added like tiny die cut flowers, carrots, grass and butterflies around all around! Take a closer peek at the Sunny Studio blog.
Tina accented her pretty stamped yellow Tulip with a scalloped frame and stamped sentiment. The beautiful background of eggs were stamped in different ink pads colors on a scalloped die cut mat over a yellow cardstock card base. Find all the details at the Cards and Coffee Time blog.
The pop of metallic copper really pops on the dark teal on this beautiful card from Kavya. The subtle background eggs are stamped with a watercolor mark technique and the focal egg and sentiment are heat embossed. The thin metallic frame adds even more shine. I spotted this on the Taylored Expressions blog.
Amy used products from Stampin’ Up for her sweet pastel egg card. She die cut the egg three times from teal, pink and yellow cardstocks and then mixed the papers to create three different colored eggs. There’s also a stamped sentiment and a tiny adorable bunny too. Learn more at the Stamp with Amy K. blog.
I hope you’ve been inspired today to create some egg card and that you have an Egg-ceptional Easter!
