Happy Easter Card with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Easter is approaching quickly and for today's post I'm sharing with you my Happy Easter Card perfect to give this Easter. To create my card, I've used a variety of our Easter themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Happy Easter Card at home.

To start, you'll need the Happy Easter Welded Words. Apply two coats of Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Impasto Paint in Dusty Rose.

Choose one of the butterflies from the Butterfly Mix package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the butterfly. Sprinkle Pastel Lilac over the entire surface of the butterfly. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Choose one egg from the Detailed Easter Eggs package and choose two eggs, one large and one medium from the Filagree Easter Eggs package. Apply Emboss It Ink to the detailed easter egg. Sprinkle Pastel Lilac Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the egg. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink to the medium easter egg. Sprinkle Pastel Pink Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the egg. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink to the large easter egg. Sprinkle Pastel Mint Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the egg. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Next, you'll need the Rod Iron Frame. Apply two coats of Hickory Smoke Distress Paint to the frame.

Take the Delicate Lace Cross out of the package. Apply two coats of White Gesso to the cross.

Choose a variety of roses and flowers in white and pink as desired. You'll need a total of thirteen flowers.

The last thing you need is two pieces of coordinating patterned paper. From one of the papers, die cut a 5 1/4" stitched square. From the other paper, die cut a 4 3/4" stitched square. Distress the edges of both papers. Ink the edges of both papers using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 4 3/4" stitched square to the 5 1/4" stitched square.

Adhere the rod iron frame to the 5 1/4" square. Adhere the delicate lace cross to the middle of the frame.

Adhere the three easter eggs as desired in the bottom right hand corner of the frame.

Explore Card with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Travelling has become such a big part of our lives these days, that going away for a long trip, isn't as common as it used to be. In light of those special people in your lives that are going away on a long trip, why not create a card and give one to them to celebrate the fact. To inspire you, I've created this fun Explore card. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to embellish the chipboard pieces for my Explore Card at home.

From the Create, Explore, Relax set, cut out the Explore word. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the word.

Next, you'll need the Sm. World Globe.

From the Plain Banners, you'll need three banners. I traced the banners around two pieces of patterned paper. Cut the three banners out. Adhere the paper banners to the chipboard banners and punch holes through the top of the banners. Ink the edges of the banners using Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.

The last chipboard piece you'll need the large frame from the Abstract Frame Set. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the frame. Apply Emboss It Ink to the frame and sprinkle Tidal Lotus embossing powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Cut three patterned paper pieces that measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/4", 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" and 4 3/4" x 5 3/4" to mount in behind of the frame. Once the frame is mounted over top of the image, adhere the banner through the top left hand hand corner of the frame. Adhere a large white rose and two coral roses above the banner.

Adhere the Explore word to the bottom portion of the frame. Adhere a coral and a mint rose to the left side of the E in the explore word. In the bottom right hand corner of the frame, adhere one large white rose, two coral roses, two mint roses and two small white roses.

Adhere the globe above the flowers. Add embellishments from the paper collection as desired. Adhere two coral roses and one mint rose above the globe.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.

Here is the finished Explore Card.

Today's project is a Easter Card perfect to give to that special someone in your life. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Happy Easter Card at home.

To start, cut a Delicate Lace Element into three pieces. You'll need to apply two coats of white gesso to two of the delicate lace element pieces.

Next you'll need the Happy Easter Welded Words piece. Apply two coats of Victorian Velvet Distress Paint to the word.

The last chipboard piece you'll need is the Summer Frame. Apply a coat of Tinned Peas Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics paint to the frame.

Next you'll need some patterned paper, I used the Mintay Papers collection - 7th Heaven. Cut the light pink patterned paper piece to 4 3/4" x 4 3/4". Place the Chicken Wire Stencil overtop of the patterned paper piece and use a palette knife to spread Transparent Texture Paste through the stencil. Remove stencil. Once the texture paste has dried, tear a bit of the paper down in the top right side of the patterned paper. Tear a bit of the paper up in the bottom left side of the patterned paper. Distress the edges of the paper. Ink the edges of the paper using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Cut the blue/floral patterned paper piece to 5 1/4" x 5 1/4". Tear a bit of the paper down in the top left side of the patterned paper. Tear a bit of the paper up in the bottom right side of the patterned paper. Distress the edges of the paper. Ink the edges of the paper using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Cut the pink/floral patterned paper piece to 5" x 5". Distress the edges of the paper. Ink the edges of the paper using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

You'll need four white tulips, two white carnations, four small white roses, five medium dark pink roses and nine small pink roses.

The last element you need is a piece of white lace that measures 5" long.

Adhere the lace to the right hand side of the blue/floral patterned paper. Adhere the blue/floral patterned paper to the pink/floral patterned paper.

Adhere one of the delicate lace elements in behind the top torn side of the pink patterned paper. Adhere the other delicate lace elements in behind the bottom torn side of the pink patterned paper.

Adhere the summer frame to the middle of the pink patterned paper. Adhere the Happy Easter sentiment to the middle of the summer frame.

In the bottom right hand side of the frame and sentiment, adhere one white carnation, two white tulips, two medium dark pink roses, six small pink roses and two small white roses.

In the top left hand side of the summer frame and sentiment, adhere one white carnation, two white tulips, three medium dark pink roses, three small pink roses and two small white roses.
