Hero Arts Egg-stra Special Collection
Hello and welcome!
Today I’m excited to share some fresh inspiration featuring the new Egg-stra Special Collection from Hero Arts. This release is filled with delightful Easter and spring-themed stamps and dies—but the sweet images in this collection can easily be used all year long for charming scene cards.
For my first project, I reached for the Color My World Stamp & Cut set from the Egg-stra Special Collection. This darling set is packed with adorable bunnies in a variety of playful poses, along with a few sweet little chicks. It also includes a large egg image that’s perfect for experimenting with different techniques like ink blending, watercolor, or stenciling to create beautifully decorated eggs.
I stamped and colored several of the bunnies and chicks, along with a few paintbrushes and a bucket of paint—enough images to create two cards. While coloring, I started thinking about how I wanted to design the egg and remembered my stash of background panels from past crafty sessions. I often hold onto pieces created with inks, watercolor, and gel mediums, knowing they’ll come in handy one day—and this was the perfect opportunity!
I pulled out my collection and found a few watercolor panels that worked beautifully. One featured soft pastel washes, and another had bold watercolor stripes. Both made stunning, ready-made “decorated” eggs. I used the coordinating egg die to cut the shapes directly from those backgrounds, instantly giving me vibrant, artistic focal points.
For my first card, I built a sweet spring scene with the pastel egg as the centerpiece, then added a couple of bunnies and a chick to bring it to life. To complete the setting, I incorporated the Bees and Flowers Fancy Dies from Hero Arts and the Landscape Edges Etched Dies from Spellbinders to create soft clouds and grassy borders.
To finish the card, I added the sentiment “You’re Egg-stra Special” and used the coordinating die for a polished look.
The Color My World Stamp & Cut set is such a versatile addition to any collection—perfect for Easter projects, springtime scenes, and adorable bunny-themed cards all year long. I hope this inspires you to look through your own background stash and give those saved pieces new life!
Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for more inspiration from the delightful Egg-stra Special Collection from Hero Arts this week.
Hugs,
Tonya
