Today is Easter, and this card has already been mailed, and received. I chose “Easter Blessings” from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set, but many sentiments would be appropriate for this “Spring” design.
Vellum Easter Flowers
I just love this border, made with a die from the new, Ornate Borders Dies, part of the Ornate Garden Suite. It looks so pretty against the Soft Sea Foam card base, doesn’t it? This suite is an early release from Stampin’ Up’s 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, and you can order it today!
After cutting along the edge of the Whisper White Cardstock layer, I noticed pretty pieces of “waste.” They turned into stems for my flowers!
My flowers were made with So Very Vellum in its three, soft, colors, and another Ornate Borders Die. You can see all of them in my Product List below.
Hiding the glue is always a concern when working with vellum, and the problem was easily solved here. Mini-Dimensionals made a perfect covering behind the three tiny holes in the center of the flower. It looked fine, before the pearls, but I like the added embellishment.
I stamped “Easter Blessings” in Memento Black Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die. I like how this die duplicates the feel of the border.

Pretty card. Thank you for sharing.
Su, got this idea from another demonstrator about adhering vellum. Take your sponge dab it in a spot of Tombow glue and dab it on your vellum, it dries clear. Love your card. Like your idea of using scraps of die for flowers.
You always amaze me SU! This is just lovely!!
Beautifully soft and spring-like. Love your choicer of colors too and what a great way to use up little pieces of vellum. I like that because I can’t stand to throw away any vellum pieces. Happy Easter to you and your family.
