Hello and Welcome! With Easter a few weeks away I’ll be sharing a few Easter Cards. Today’s card, Gift of Hope and Inspiration , features the Gift of Hope stamp set, Garden Gateway Dies, Timeless Tropical stamp set, In The Tropics Dies and Stacked Stone stamp set by Stampin’Up!®.

Gift of Hope and Inspiration – Preassembly

From the Gift of Hope stamp set, I’m only using sentiments from the set for the A2 card. It’s a relatively simple card using a variety of stamp set and dies. I stamped the palm trees from the Timeless Tropical stamp set and colored them with Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the In The Tropics Dies. The stone wall was created from the Stacked Stone stamp set in Soft Suede ink and die cut using the Garden Gateway Dies. To make the tombstone, I used Crumb Cake cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and punched the circle with a 2 1/4″ circle punch. I used various stampin blends for color and effect.
