Hi friends! I have some more Easter inspiration to share with you today using some pretty new stamps from the new Simon Says Stamp Favorite Things release. I found a gold mine at my local dollar store with some unfinished wooden frames, and so I bought several to use to create fun, inexpensive decor pieces with stamps, dies, and inks. I used the beautiful new Blessings At Easter stamp set with some older products and one of the unfinished frames to create some custom Easter decor, perfect for a desk at work, mantel, or even a piano! Let’s get started with the details on my project!

To begin, I used some pearlescent blue acrylic paint to paint the edge of the unfinished frame and set it aside to dry. I used my T-square to measure the interior panel and trimmed down a panel of white cardstock to fit inside. I adhered my white panel to the Simon Says Stamp Craft Tacky Mat and used the Hippity Hoppity Stencil with Simon Says Stamp Blue Pastel Pigment Ink and a blending brush to blend a subtle background on the white background. I also blended a blue haze around the top edges of the white panel, creating a lightly textured “sky” upon which I could build my Easter scene.
To create my scene, I stamped Easter eggs, flowers, and foliage from the Blessings At Easter stamp set using the Simon Says Stamp Pastel Pigment Inks and used the coordinating dies to die cut them. These Pastel Pigment Inks are perfect for use with Easter projects; they stamp beautifully and still maintain the subtle pastel hue no matter how many times you might re-stamp with your MISTI!
Before arranging my scene, I adhered the stenciled panel to the now-dry frame using Tear-rifically Tacky Tape To add some grass to my little Easter scene, I die cut the Grassy Edges from Simon Says Stamp Mint Cardstock in two widths to create grass in both the foreground and the background. I adhered the background grass to the stenciled panel with liquid adhesive, then added my eggs and flowers and foliage with liquid and foam adhesive, then added thin strips of foam adhesive to the foreground grass and adhered it in the front of the stamped images. Finally, I added a shimmery Iridescent White Cord bow and a few Opal Pawsitively Dazzling Gems to the frame. I think this would be so cute adorning a work desk, mantel, or even on the back of an upright piano! (I used to diligently decorate my piano for every season, but then I had kids and now I’m just glad to get my Christmas decorations down before Easter, ha!)
