Slimline Card
For the slimline card, I began by die cutting white cardstock using the Slimline Scallop Frames die set. The larger die creates a scalloped frame and a separate inner rectangle. Because I wanted both pieces to be popped up on the card base, I temporarily secured them together with low-tack tape and adhered them to a sheet of white foam before attaching the entire panel to the slimline card base.
The card features a trio of sweet bunnies from the Flourish Rabbit die set, cut in graduating shades of pink for a soft ombré effect. Before adhering the bunnies with foam squares, I stamped the “Happy Easter” sentiment from the Basket of Blooms Stamp Set at the bottom of the inner rectangle.
To finish the card, I added a gradient trio of confetti that coordinates with the bunny shades, ranging from pale pink to deeper rose. Each piece was topped with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Morning Dew for a glossy, dimensional touch.
A2 Embossed Pansy Card
This soft and simple A2 card begins with a blush pink panel embossed using the Pansy Petals Embossing Folder. The delicate floral texture creates a beautiful tone-on-tone background.
Each pansy centre was enhanced with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dandelion and set aside to dry, adding just the right pop of cheerful yellow.
The Flourish Rabbit was die cut in white cardstock with a soft pink inner ear detail. The “Happy Easter” sentiment from the Basket of Blooms Stamp Set was stamped onto pink cardstock and layered onto a slightly larger white rectangle to create a framed label. Both the bunny and sentiment were popped up with foam squares for gentle dimension.
Shaped Domed Arch Card
For the final card, I created a shaped card base using the Nested Domed Arches dies. Black cardstock was folded in half, and the largest arch die was positioned slightly over the fold to create a hinged card base. A full black arch layer was cut and adhered on top.
The next smallest arch was cut from gold foil cardstock, creating a dramatic frame. For the focal background, watercolor paper was lightly sprayed with water and spritzed with Distress Oxide Stains. Once dry, the two-piece Scattered Leaves Stencil Set was used with Mowed Lawn and Antique Linen Distress Oxide inks to create a soft leafy background. This panel was then cut with the smallest arch die and layered onto the gold frame.
The sentiment from the Basket of Blooms Stamp Set was stamped in black ink. The bunny from Flourish Rabbit was die cut from a combination of gold and black cardstock and popped up with foam squares for dimension.
Closing Thoughts
What I love most about this release is how effortlessly everything coordinates. The Flourish Rabbit die set is sweet and timeless, while the backgrounds — whether embossed, ink blended, or layered — allow you to create everything from soft and delicate to bold and dramatic.
Spring cards should feel light, hopeful, and joyful… and this collection makes that easy. Whether you prefer slimline, classic A2, or shaped cards, there’s something here to inspire your own beautiful moments.
