Hi friends! It’s Easter week, and I have some fun and sparkling inspiration to share using some new and some old goodies from Simon Says Stamp! I have been really busy with family and then was able to take a much-needed vacation to visit some crafty friends over the weekend, so I am a little behind on sharing some Easter inspiration. Today, I have a two-fer: a fun, sparkling shaker card and a matching tag embellishment created using the leftovers! Let’s get started with the details.

I love creating fun shaker windows embellished with adorable images. I feel like the storybook images in the Hoppy Easter set work perfectly for shaker cards; they are sweet and innocent and work splendidly for a card for a child, and what child doesn’t love a shaker card? I began by stamping the bunny image from Hoppy Easter using Rainbow Splash Black ink, then used my OLO Markers in vibrant shades of pink, purple, and coral to add vivid color to the stamped image. I used a white gel pen and a sparkling DecoArt shimmer pen to add some extra interest to the polka dots on the bottom of the Easter eggs, then used the coordinating dies to cut out the finished colored image and stamped sentiment.
To create the shaker background, I began by stamping the Pepita Background onto some white cardstock using Bubblegum Pawsitively Saturated Ink. I then die cut one of the Nested Egg Dies from the center of an A2 panel of Clematis Glitter Cardstock and backed it with some leftover clear stamp packaging. (Reduce, reuse, recycle!) I used some strips of foam adhesive around the egg-shaped opening and filled the shaker with the new Clematis Embellishment Pack. Shake, shake, shake! I added the die cuts on the front of the shaker and added one final touch of texture with some Iridescent White Cord from Simon Says Stamp!
With the leftover glittery egg die cut, I added some strips of coordinating colored carstock and a pretty bow, which I die cut using the Pretty Bows die set and some deep plummy purple cardstock. I used a mini clothespin to add the embellished egg die cut to a glassine bag of jelly beans. Isn’t this such a cute and simple way to dress up a bag of sweets?
Well, that’s all for my projects today! I have to work on filling my kiddos’ Easter eggs this week… four kiddos means lots and lots of Easter eggs to fill. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day!
