With good success at making the St. Patrick's Day card kits I decided to make up some for Easter. I started with the egg. I downloaded a simple shape from the internet, sized it to fit on my pastel cards which fit loosely in the envelopes. I printed on paper and glued it to a cardstock scrap to make a template. I trimmed white rectangles that allowed just a bit of extra space all the way around and then traced the egg shape on one side. I found this set of papers in her stash that were all pastel colours in very beautiful watercolour papers which were perfect for the egg. I trimmed 8 strips for each egg at 1/2" wide and 4" long to fit on the white rectangle. There was a large gap in the middle so I trimmed green strips from my decorative paper scraps to fill in that space at about 1.25" x 4". I die cut the grass from green cardstock from my stash - one for each card. The process of creating the card is that you glue four thin strips to the back of the white rectangle at the top and then another set at the bottom right next to each other. Then glue the green one in the middle of the two to full cover the rectangle. Then you turn it over and cut out the egg and when you turn it over you have this wonderful Easter egg. You glue the egg to your card front (all pastel - pink, blue, lavender, yellow) and then glue the grass just over the bottom of the egg. I really love how the egg turned out!! It can then be embellished with glitter, sequins, stickers, etc as they wish. Totally fun!!!!! Therese
