Jesus is not here! He has risen!
Remember how he told you he would rise.
Luke 24 : 6
Welcome to An Elegant Touch’s and MyPaperCrafting.com’s ‘24 Carrot EGG-stravaganza Blog Hop’!
With Easter just around the corner we wanted to share some of our ideas
and give you some inspiration for your Easter projects!
If you've come from visiting Sheena’s blog at http://lilflowerslynne1.blogspot.com/2013/03/egg-stravaganza-blog-hop.html,
you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would
like to hop along with us, you can go to MyPaperCrafting.com http://www.mypapercrafting.com/2013/03/mpc-hop.html and start at the beginning.
For today’s Hop I made a 'Z-fold' Card to send to a Dear Loved
One, as we remember the Reason for this holiday. I used 2 of Melin’s NEW cutting files to make this card that
will stand on its own as a display remembrance.
Card standing open |
Card closed |
Card propped |
* I used sage parchment cardstock for the base of the card and incorporated lavender and black – this being my favorite color combination and representing 3 elements of Easter and Spring. To
me, Sage green represents the awakening newness of Spring – Lavender represents
the peace those who have accepted Jesus into their hearts may have, and Black
represents His taking our sins upon Himself as He died and was resurrected.
* The card is a
4.25 x 11” piece of cardstock, scored and folded at 5.5” from one end and then
at 2.75” on the opposite end.
* I ‘sized’ and
cut the elements in SCAL3 and cut them on my Silhouette CAMEO.
* One can make
the front piece in any fashion that would allow it to just tuck under something
attached to the top of the ‘back’ section.
* I included a
Sentiment printed on Vellum and edges inked that hides behind the front piece – for this card, a Bible
verse. There is space for a
personal message on the sage middle section.
* I embossed
the Lavender plain and patterned sections. I adhered them to Black Cardstock = then adhered that to the
card.
* I raised the Stained Glass section and the Cross with tiny
PopDots.
I saw the idea for this ‘Z-fold’ Card on Pinterest – a much different décor – and was led to the instructions on the Splitcoaststampers site – I’ll be happy to send the .pdf, if you request it, or if you are a Member, you can find it there.
