Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Moments Blog Hop! I've got the cutest Easter Card for you to try. Today's card is all about elevating your die-cuts. We're focused on pairing a trio of sweet pastels and creating a variety of textures using two of the newly released embossing folders, and layering the adorable bunny and egg die sets.

3 Ways to Elevate Your Die-cut Card

Emboss Your Die-cuts: Transform your single-layer die-cuts with embossing, like I did with creating the floral patter on the Basic Shapes Nested Eggs using the Tiny Flora Embossing Folder!
Ink Your Embossing: I doubled-down on this technique here by gently running ink cubes over the Tiny Flora-embossing on the egg die-cuts and the Stitching Sampler Embossing folder background.
Layer Your Die-cuts: I think I first saw Jennifer McGuire do this and it's such a cool trick that enhances the die-cut with dimension, and somehow making it all fancy! I love the effect on the Happy Easter sentiment.

Easter card with pastel eggs, two white bunnies, and "Happy Easter" text in purple. Background has flowers and a soft, cheerful vibe. — The little bunny is hopping for joy!
