Amazing Love Easter Card
I created this Amazing Love Easter Card as a make & take for my Sale-a-bration Open House. For more information about Sale-a-bration, CLICK HERE.
While I enjoy all the fun things that we do to celebrate this holiday (decorating eggs, egg hunts, baskets, etc.), I prefer to have my Easter cards to be more about why we celebrate it in the first place. With that in mind, I purchased the Hold on to Hope Bundle to have on hand for my cards. Be that as it may, I have to admit that it was never my intention to use three different stamp sets for my card. Ordinarily, I feature one stamp set and occasionally pair it with a greeting set. However, as I thought about the holiday and what it represents, the song Amazing Love by Chris Tomlin popped into my head. Consequently, I realized that the Amazing You stamp set was the perfect choice to pair with the Hold on to Hope stamp set to convey the message that I was looking for!
The Song That Inspired My Easter Card
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me
‘Cause You died and rose again
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me
‘Cause You died and rose again
Amazing love, how can it be?
That You, my King would die for me?
Amazing love, I know its true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You
by Chris Tomlin

Putting it all together to create the perfect Easter Card
Now that I had inspiration for my Easter card, it was time to work on my layout. The Crucifixion wasn’t pretty. For this reason, I did not want my card to be ornate, so I chose the Wood Textures paper to use for the cross. In addition, I wanted to have something that would represent the joy of the resurrection, so I used the rays of light stamp from the Amazing You set with Daffodil Delight and a hint of Wink of Stella. Furthermore, I wanted the purple robe to be represented as well so I chose the Fresh Fig ribbon. As the elements of the card came together, the next challenge was how I was going to incorporate the word, love. I finally settled on the sentiment, “I just love you”, from Petal Palette.
