Five Easter Cards for All the Family

Hop into Easter crafting with five egg-cellent card ideas for every member of the family! From playful designs for little ones to thoughtful makes for loved ones, we've got five easy Easter card projects to get cracking with to make your celebrations this year extra special.

Watercolour Easter Cross Card

Here's what you'll need:

Step-by-step instructions:

Cut a 5" x 7" card base from your white card, then layer with linen card. Secure to your base card using collall all-purpose glue. Cut a smaller mat in watercolour card.
Take a paintbrush and with clean water, lay a little water on your watercolour card where you want your background to be - it should be damp and not over wet. On your glass mat, place down a little of each liquid watercolour, then pick up on your brush and dab onto your watercolour card over where you have added a little water. Wash your brush between colours and then dry everything with a heat tool.
Secure the watercolour background onto your base on top of the linen card layer. Then cut out the Ornate Cross in white card. Use tacky glue in a fine tip applicator to add dots of glue on the back, then position over your watercolour card and press into place.
To finish, add a few sequins and stamp a sentiment inside.

Top tip! Make sure you select colours that blend well together. You could test on scrap paper first if unsure)

Floral Easter Egg Card

What you'll need:

Step-by-step instructions

Take a 6" x 4" card base and cut a slightly smaller light pastel aqua base mat. Stamp your sentiment in place then fix to your card using collall all-purpose glue.
Die cut the largest East Egg Bauble in mint green card. Then use the spring floral die set to cut a selection of florals and leaves (as shown) in a selection of white and pastel colours.
Build your floral design on your mint green egg base, using tacky glue in fine tip applicator. Allow some flowers and leaves to overhang your egg shape. Once the glue is dry, trim away the excess.
Secure your egg to your card base. You can use 3D foam pads for extra dimension if you want.
Use a white paint pen to add white polka dots and stamp a sentiment inside to complete.

Using neenah card stock, die cut the three bunny dies using both the inner design and outer square edge dies. Colour in the bunnies using triblend pens – we used a brown, grey, and pale pink blend. Then take a black art liner and add in the detail, drawing over the embossed face design on each bunny. Add dot of white pen to highlight the facial features.
Take the outer square die and die cut three pieces of patterned paper - we used the yellow check paper from the easter pad - and glue each in place behind each bunny.
With some pale pink card, paper piece in the bunny ears. Then fix the three bunnies down the right side of your card front.

Die cut 16 eggs in watercolour card using the smallest egg die from the Easter Egg Baubles die set. Then, using the liquid watercolours, paint your eggs. Once complete flick water over to add some faux bleaching for texture, and leave to dry
