I used the Stampin’ Up! Easter Basket stamp set bundle from the upcoming January-April 2026 Mini Catalog to create a cute hello spring card to share with you today. I also did a video tutorial showing you how to create this on my YouTube channel right here.
I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Easter Joy Specialty DSP (available January 6) to a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to a Balmy Blue card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the bunny, flowers and carrot images from the Easter Basket stamp set (available January 6) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored the images with Light and Dark Pecan Pie, Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out with the coordinating Easter Basket Dies (available January 6).
I cut panels of Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Basic White, Peach Pie, Balmy Blue, Pretty In Pink and Shaded Spruce card stocks with the basket, bow and flower dies from the Easter Basket Dies. I adhered the die cut images together and the card front with Mini Glue Dots. I adhered the scalloped die cuts with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Basket stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut it with one of the Words Of Beauty Dies (Online Exclusive item). I adhered the die cut sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensinals to the card front and then added three Balmy Blue dots from the Easter Assortment (available January 6) to finish the card front.
I stamped the bunny and flower images from the Easter Basket stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored them with Light and Dark Pecan Pie, Pretty In Pink and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.
