Daffodil Easter Greetings

Today I am sharing a card I designed for one of my Easter card classes featuring the You're Inspiring stamp set and the Petal Pair Embossing Folders.

Craft with Beth: You're Inspriing Easter Daffodil Card Petal Pair Embossing Folder Stampin Up

I used a simple layout to really let each element shine. It is so refreshing to see flowers blooming after such an unusual winter! I think they symbolize the promise of greenery and new beginnings. I used Light and Dark Daffodil Stampin' Blends and the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends to color in the flowering portion of the daffodil and Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color in the stem of the daffodil.

To create the all-over embossed background, I used the vine embossing folder from the Petal Pair Embossing Folder set twice to emboss a 4" by 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. The folder was placed along the 5-1/4" side at the top and embossed and then at the bottom and embossed.

I stamped the large daffodil image on the inside of the card because it is simply too pretty not to! You could also stamp the row of daffodils along the bottom or put Happy Easter on the inside instead.

This card could be transformed from an Easter card to a thinking of you card, a birthday card, or a Mother's Day card by changing the greeting on the outside using the other greeting sentiments included with the You're Inspiring stamp set. What a perfect stamp set for Easter as well as springtime occasions!
