An Easter Card with the New Hydrangea Hue In Color

 

There’s something so peaceful about a clean, simple Easter card—and this one feels like a quiet moment wrapped in paper. 💙

Today’s card features a soft, layered cross created with cardstock strips, set against a sweet polka dot Designer Series Paper background. The gentle blues paired with crisp white details give it that calm, reflective feel that’s just perfect for Easter. And that sentiment—“you are loved”—says everything that needs to be said, doesn’t it?

What I really love about this design is how versatile it is. Think of it like a sketch you can dress up or down depending on what’s sitting on your craft table!  Also perfect for a Baptism or First Confirmation!

The layered die cut behind the greeting adds just enough detail without overwhelming the design, and that little ribbon accent gives it a soft, finished touch—like tying a bow on a meaningful moment.

This is one of those cards that looks thoughtful and intricate, but comes together easily… and can be recreated again and again with whatever supplies you already have.

So grab your favorite papers, dies, and stamps, and let this design be your starting point. Sometimes the simplest layouts leave the most room for creativity to bloom.
