Good morning friends. I'm back again, with more Easter cards.
I know.... two days in a row! Right?
I enjoyed making these
book cards so much! I purchased the Have A Spine die from The Greetery
before Christmas and made a few Christmas cards using it, but I just had
to make more Easter cards. I cut an oval out of the center of the book cover and framed it with the lovely medallion from a set called Frames & Tags: Zoe, from Creative Expressions. The lily is from Papertrey Ink. You can see the vellum layer through the oval, which I'll get to in a short minute.
Here is the vellum page, stamped with the Hymn Song stamp from The Greetery. I love how you get a dreamy view of the next page through the vellum.
And here is the stamping on the back page.
All together, I think it's a wonderful card to celebrate our Savior and His victory over the grave.
I made the same card using a different color for the spine of the book.
And two more cards using different lilies.
I'll be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:
Oh My Goodness! These are absolutely beautiful my friend! You are SO creative ... love them so much!! I still have a lot of Crafty Secrets in my stash (was on her DT) ... thanks for the reminder to blow the dust off and use some of those pretties!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Birgit, once again you've used this book die in a spectacular way. These cards are breathtaking! I love the window aperture with the vellum and the use of the Easter anthem. Love this song and your cards! Have a Blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh Birgit...I loved your Easter cards yesterday, but I think I'm head over heels in LOVE with today's cards!! The front of the card is soooo pretty with the lilies, and the vellum layer with one of my most favorite hymns, and then the back page...all combined to create a FABULOUS card my friend!! LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou have made some beautiful Easter cards this year, Birgit and these are no exception! Love the vellum panel. Well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous and so life like, you know they really look 3D! Every little detail is perfection! That lily is so beautiful and screams SPRING--can you hear that Mother Nature?!?! :) Love the Vellum piece too--you should enter this at the current Time Out Challenge. Beautifully created!
ReplyDeleteThis book die is fantastic and I love how you have used it again. I am now thinking that I need it to add to my stash. You have really inspired me again. Good to see you here at Double D.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful hymn and gorgeous Easter cards, Birgit!

These are absolutely gorgeous, I do love the use of the vellum inside to give the hint to what is behind it, great job of stamping the hymn on the vellum!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Birgit! The stamped sentiment on the spine is perfect, and I love the peek through the framed opening. The vellum page is so lovely (the stamp is amazing), and such a nice effect that it's a whole vellum page on it's own and that you turn the page and have a full view of the lilies and sentiment. A work of art!
