Easter Card with Elizabeth Craft Peel Offs and Heat Embossing

I've wanted to try heat embossing with a peel off sticker.  I did that with this card.


This card is 4x5.5 and was made with the following:
  • Glitter Borders Gold 7010
  • Peel-off Stickers Easter Eggs - 2541
  • Various Embossing Powders
  • DCWV Violet Leaf Stack
  • Sookwang Double sides tape 5 inches
To make this card, I put the Sookwang double sided tape on a piece of white card stock, and then exposed the tape, and added the Easter Egg peel off sticker.   Instead of just adding the outline portion of the sticker, I used transfer tape to add all parts of the sticker.  (There is a good you tube video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSQSemwY45I showing how to do this).  I then removed the background for the flowers, added the embossing powder and heated.  I repeated this for all parts of the sticker (leaves, stems, basket and background). 

I used several different patterns from the Violet Leaf Stack for the background added Gold Glitter borders between the different patterns, and then placed the Easter Egg in the center.

Another Easter Card with Peel off stickers, glitter and Shimmer sheets

This card is 4x5.5 and was made with the following:
  • Outline Stickers Black 842
  • Peel-off Stickers Easter Eggs - 2541
  • Copic YG23, Y06, YR14, BV00, B00
  • Glitter Ritz Cool Highlight
  • Shimmer Sheet Yellow Iridescent
  • Cuttlebug Textile Texture
  • Sookwang Double sides tape 5 inches
  • Storybook Cricut Cartridge

 
 
To make this card, I put the Sookwang double sided tape on a piece of white card stock, and cut the background image (Marquee) with the Storybook Cricut Cartridge Storybook and 3.5 inches.  I then exposed the tape, and added the Easter Egg peel off sticker.  Glitter Ritz was added and the egg was then colored with Copic Markers. 
 
I then added Sookwang tape to two 1/2 X 4 inch strips of white paper, exposed the tape, added the Cool Highlight Glitter Ritz, and colored both strips with Y06 Copic Marker. 
 
A two inch piece of Shimmer Sheets was embossed with Textile Texture.
 
The Glittered strips, embossed Shimmer Sheets were added to the card.  Black outline stickers were added between each area, and then the main image was added over the top.

Easter Card with Elizabeth Craft Desgins Peel Off Stickers

For this card I used Elizabeth Craft Designs Peel Off Stickers, Glitter Ritz Micro Fine Glitter, Copic Markers, and a Cherry Lynn Doily Die.


The card is 4 x 5.5.  After cutting the Doily in my Cuttlebug, I cut it in half, and attached each half to the side of the card.  For the Easter Eggs and butterflies, I applied Sookwang Double Sided tape to a piece of white card stock, exposed the tape, and then added the Peel Off stickers.  Cool Highlight Glitter Ritz was then added.  I used various colors of Copic markers to color the eggs and butterflies.

Another layout using Lea France templates

Here are two more layouts using the Honeycomb and Grid templates.  I really love using the templates since I can get a lot of pictures on one page, in an organized manner.
