Egg-spert Opinion

Hello there!  Today i am up on the Trinity Stamp YouTube Channel with this cute and quick card made with the new Egg Shaped Card Die Set and the Egg-ceptional Sentiments Stamp and Coordinating Die Set by Trinity Stamps.  While I have made a few Easter cards with this die, this card would be a great "Cheer Me Up" card.

For the base of this card, I used the die to cut out a bright blue card stock.  I used the largest egg shape to cut out an egg from white cardstock. I used the included die to cut the top of the egg off and give the lower half a crack.  To add a little dimension to the egg, I dusted the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on all the edges.  

Since the egg is cut in two pieces, you might want to use a little piece of tape on the back to hold the pieces together so it is easier to center and glue on the card base.  

I wanted to add a little dimension to the card with the glasses, so I cut out four sets of glasses and then glued them together.  I used the die from the Sunshine Die Set for the frames.  

Once I had the glasses glued to the egg, I was able to place the eyes where they looked best and gave him a cute look.   I used the included die to cut out his mouth from white cardstock and then colored the pieces with markers so I could get the color I was looking for.  I did not put a nose on him because I felt like it would be too much.  

The little band-aids are also included in the set.  I also cut those out of white cardstock and then used a marker to color the pieces the traditional color.  I glued them along to crack to make it look like they are "holding things together".  

For the sentiment on the front of the card, I used the Egg-ceptional Sentiment Stamp Set to stamp and heat emboss with white embossing powder.  I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  

I played around with the placement of the sentiment words along with those skinny little arms to find just the right placement.

For the inside of the card, I cut out another egg shape from white cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the egg and then glued it on the right side of the inside of the card.

Doesn't this goofy little guy just make you smile?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have been inspired to create a egg shaped card of your own.
