HD Perfect Days - Easter Blessings

Today I realized I needed to make some Easter cards for the kids in my family.  I didn't feel I had time to stamp, color, die cut and find coordinating papers for the set I really would have liked to make.  Hunkydory to the rescue! I needed 4 quick cards, and that's just what I got.  Here's what the set looked like before I got into it:

As you can see, there are 1 1/2 sheets of die cuts and 1 sheet of AS (adoreable scoreable printed card stock). I was really glad that there were four die cut sentiments, since I needed four cards.  I added things from my own stash & played with the decoupage pieces so that I ended up with four cards:

Here's a closer look at each.

Card #1:

This was really the last card that I made.  As usual, I saved the base die cut and added any remaining little pieces to it with foam tape - there were quite a few of them this time.  I had long since used up my AS, since there was only one sheet of it, So I had to find something else.  I found this striped paper in my stash, but the blue looked a little out of place until I added blue ink to the pink Easter egg.  The paper was VERY thin, so I adhered it with a glue stick, rubbing firmly with a bone folder to set it.  Then I added the piece I cut from one of the die cut sheet scraps, and a border on the left side.  Then I added the sentiment - again with foam tape.

Card #2:

This was an interesting one to make.  I cut the left side of the AS to form the base for this card.  However, it just had flowers and Easter eggs.  I had to fussy cut a portion of the left side so I could slip my die cut lambs behind it.  Then I filled in with a few extra Easter eggs to hide the fact that the bottom of the lamb die cut was designed to fit into a hexagonal shape.  The border was too short to fit all the way across the top, but I was able to cut it in the middle and separate it - hiding the separation with my sentiment (added with foam tape).

Card #3:

For this card, I didn't have the AS, and only had some smaller die cuts.  I decided to use some grass AS from my stash, and a marbled blue background paper to serve as sky (also from my stash).  To this, I added die cut pieces - lambs, Easter eggs, flowers - to create a scene.  I fussy cut a border piece from the top of the AS and added the greeting with foam tape.

Card #4:

This card was mostly AS.  The lambs, Easter eggs, and flowers were already printed on it.  After cutting it to size and gluing it in place, I fussy cut the top border edge from the remaining AS and added it toward the top.  Then I simply added a sentiment, and I was done.

Four very quick Easter cards thanks to Hunkydory!
