Stand Up Easter Cross Card

I love this time of year! Easter is a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration, making it the perfect occasion to create a heartfelt handmade card. Today’s card is ideal for sending Easter blessings to loved ones.

I pulled out several stamp sets (some retired) for sentiments on the back. Here’s a look at a few:

Do you have a preference? Purple or Crumb Cake?
Which banner do you like better?
Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Standing Cross Card with Hold on To Hope Stamp Set-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Happy Easter sentiment is from the March 2017 Paper Pumpkin Bunny Buddies Kit. The other banner sentiment is from the Hold on to Hope Stamp Set and Cross of Hope Dies (retired). There are several current stamp sets and dies that would work on this card (Faith Collection, Mixed labels, Storybook Friends). I will put the link for the current products below.

I’ve seen several versions of this cross on Pinterest; however, they did not stand alone. Here are the details for my version:

Materials & Measurements

    This Easter Cross Card isn’t just for Easter! It would be a thoughtful sympathy card, an encouragement card to remind someone of faith and hope, or for celebrating spiritual milestones like baptism or confirmation. I made one for myself to display with my Easter decor.

Have a Blessed Day! Thanks for stopping by!
