Quick & Easy Easter Greeting Cards



Hello Again from Craft Chicks Australia!

Firstly, we’d like to wish everyone a Happy & Safe Easter!

And, as it is Easter, today’s project is Quick & Easy Easter Greeting Cards made by Little Chick.


The three cards pictured were all created digitally using Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software, the Silhouette Cameo machine, an Epson XP-850 printer, and basic card & envelope sets you can find in any craft or $2 shop.

Two of the cards have a vintage theme using images sourced from the Internet.

To create the card on the left, the image was imported into and then opened in the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software.  The image was then resized to suit the card size.  “Happy Easter” text was also added.  The file was then printed, cut on the Silhouette Cameo and then attached to the front of the pink card with double-sided tape.

For the card on the right, the image was again imported into and then opened in the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software.  The image was resized to suit the card and a pink border was added.  The file was printed, cut on the Silhouette Cameo and then attached to the cream card using double-sided tape.

The middle card was created solely in Silhouette Studio Designer Edition.  An Easter egg image was imported into and then opened in the Silhouette Designer Edition software.  This was then resized, then traced and copied two times.  The eggs were then enhanced with fill patterns.  “Happy Easter” text was also added.  The file was printed, cut on the Silhouette Cameo and then attached to the blue card using double-sided tape.

All of these designs are basic, but very quick and easy to make and still very cute!

Happy Easter!
Little Chick & Big Chick ;-)
