Sunday Cardmaking: Create an Easy Ombre Easter Card

By Allie Gower on March 24, 2013 in Card Making, Holidays

Let’s Create an EASY Ombre Easter Card. Ombre is a Spanish word that simply means graduated colors. I really wanted to make a simple, sweet Easter card, and I did not want to use traditional colors. These blues are calm and happy to me. I like the tone on tone bunnies on the blue strips, and the bunnies and button eggs add a little bit of fun. I used a paint sample as my inspiration. This simple construction allows you to make a lot of cards, without a lot of work.

Material used to create an EASY Ombre Easter card:

Buttons Galore Product used:

White Buttons – Buttons Galore & More
Adhesives – Beacon’s

I also used:

Dies – Quickutz
Embossing Folder – Sizzix
Cardstock – Bazzill
Dimensional Adhesive

Directions for making the EASY Ombre Easter Card:

Create a 5×7″ card base.
Cut four pieces of graduated blue cardstock 4 3/4 x 1.5″ and emboss. Place on card, leaving room in between each strip. Adhere to card base.
Die cut four bunnies from same graduated card stock. Adhere to graduated blue rectangles with dimensional adhesive.
Add buttons.

I hope you enjoyed this Ombre Easter card. When I’m making a lot of cards, I love to do something simple, but different. You can get a lot of strips out of each piece of blue card stock, and cut all your bunnies out of the scraps. When my kids were little we used to have their friends over and make fun cards for friends and family.

Thanks for stopping by.
