By the time March rolls around, I am usually more than ready
for spring! This has been a particularly blustery and snowy winter, and when
Echo Park’s sweet “Happy Easter” collection landed on my doorstep, I knew that
I had to create a décor project that would make me “think spring” every time I
saw it. I found the ornate frame in a
discount store, and the page it frames went together in a snap. The repeated
chick shape could be replaced with any simple springtime shape you like, or you
could replace them altogether with a family Easter portrait if you’d prefer.
I started with a piece of white cardstock cut to 5" x 7". I used a hand punch to cut seven
chick shapes from the pink polka dot side of the “Easter Words” paper. You could use a Cameo or other electronic
die-cutter to create your repeated shape. I layered a variety of the stickers included on the “Happy Easter”
sticker sheet along the bottom edge of the cardstock, and popped the bunny
sticker with a bit of foam tape. I drew
light gridlines with pencil to line up my little chicks, which were also popped
up with foam tape.
The Easter banner was easy to make using the banner stickers
from the “Happy Easter” sticker sheet, some baker’s twine, and some adhesive
photo mount stickers or tape. First I
backed each sticker with a cardstock scrap and cut out. Then I spaced them out evenly, face-down on
my scrapbook table and adhered the twine to each sticker using a photo
mount. Then I attached the banner to
the back of the frame, and used a couple tiny Glue Dots to make sure that it
hangs correctly.
I’m looking forward to seeing some signs of spring outside my window soon, but in the meantime, this little piece will do nicely!
