Easter Cross Card with the Everyday You & Me Bundle
Easter is a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration, making it the perfect occasion to create a heartfelt handmade card. In my latest video tutorial, I shared how to make a beautiful Easter Cross Card using the Everyday You & Me bundle and the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! This elegant card is ideal for sending Easter blessings to loved ones, using as an encouragement card, or even as a keepsake display piece for the season.
This lovely cross card design comes from Bethany Barnard (Stamping in the Barnyard). You can view her original version HERE.
A Special Update to the Design
During the video, a great question came up: Can the card stand up for display? With the original measurements I shared, the answer was no—it couldn’t stand on its own. However, after the video, I went back to my craft table and tweaked the dimensions so that the card can now be displayed upright!
Here is the revised version to display this beautiful card standing up…
Stand up card measurements:
Pop up (Lost Lagoon): 5″ x 5-1/2″ (scored same as in video on 5″ side at 1″, 1-7/8″, 3-1/8″, and 4″)
DSP layers: (2) 7/8″ x 5-3/8″ for sides and 1-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ for center
Back layer (Basic White): 3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″
All other measurements are the same as in video.
I didn’t stop at just the card but also made a treat box! You can watch the video replay on how to make the Easter Cross Treat Box on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St0QJRjFDRA.
How to Use This Card
This Easter Cross Card isn’t just for Easter! Here are some additional ways to use this design:
- Sympathy Card – A thoughtful way to send comfort and support.
- Baptism or Confirmation – A heartfelt card for celebrating spiritual milestones.
- Encouragement Card – A wonderful way to remind someone of faith and hope.
