Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple 233

Hoppy Easter Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week. This is our theme for this month:

The Easter Joy Designer Paper has this really neat preprinted sheet that is included in the paper pack and that’s what I decided to use for my main layer to my card this week. I used the print on the top left corner and then cut it to measure 4-3/4 x 3-1/2:

You can see how I layered the designer paper layer over Peach Pie and a Shy Shamrock cardstocks:

All I had to do from that point, was to cut a few tulips, add a sentiment and a few stamped critters:
