Accomplishment Alert! (giggle)
The cards are flat! (for mailing). They are small! A2 size (5.5" x 4.25").
Normally I make size A7 (5" x 7"), so this truly was a difficult card to make in my book. (giggle)
Simple METHOD:
The card "jacket" is white and covered completely with Sparkle N Sprinkle Brushable Glue and immediately dredged with glitter. After 30 minutes, the excess glitter was brushed off, and the jacket was glued to the card base. The Easter dies are covered with VersaMark ink and SNS Sparkle EP.Next, a lavender card using MS chunky glitter with the texture of mylar Easter Basket Grass:
Last but not least, a double-embossed "jacket", dry embossed with Couture Creations Secret Garden and wet embossed with SNS Sparkle EP, to match the interior die cut.
(This is my favorite)

Beautiful cards. Always nice to have a bit of glitter on the car, rather than all over us:)
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
Hope you've had a good day. Sue
Gorgeous!!! Love all the glittery sparkle and that you used different colors and types of glitter on each of the designs. These are like jewelry!! Funny how you usually make 5x7 cards, so this was stretch for you because I can never find enough to fill a 5x7 card myself!
How gorgeous your Easter cards Donna, love this egg die, peeking through your window cut out and your egg border.
My favorite is the last one in pinks and one gorgeous butterfly with lots of sparkle.
Hugs Pam

These are so pretty, Donna! I like making A2 cards - much easier for mailing, like you said! I love all the sparkle! You have some amazing dies!
I just cannot get over the amazing sparkly glittery fantastic beautiful card fronts! I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, but I do think the mylar-appearing glitter is pretty fabulous for an Easter card. Love that they're flat, too. I have a hard time with anything bigger than A2. I guess it's just what you're used to, right? These are completely wonderful, Donna!
These are incredible, Donna! So glad to see all the sparkle and those die cuts are wonderful. You are such an inspiration. :-D
Wow, such beautiful designs, Donna! The sparkle is just delicious! xxx
Holy cow Donna, I have never seen so much glitter in place before! Your whole blog is alive with sparkle! Amazing cards and I love the different types of glitter you used and the different ways you used them! Well done! hugs :)

Seven totally delicious glittery Easter Cards, girl friend you have been busy!!
Love the egg dies and I especially love how you used them inside the card. My favorite is also your favorite, think it is the double embossing, but be assured, they are all wonderful!!

HI Donna, sorry I missed your gorgeous Easter cards. I love the lacey die cut eggs and all the sparkle. I hope you are doing well, take care, Hugs, Shirleyxx
Wow! Donna, your cards are full of delightful Spring images, dies, embossing, and glitters. I've never used the chunky glitter...well, maybe some clear chunky. Yours is super.
You've made beautiful Spring and Easter creations.
I like your new header, too.
You don't just make a spectacular card, you make a whole bunch of 'em! Each one has (once more!) a unique look with the materials & colors you've selected. Really liked the difference in the glitter textures too. Love the framing technique, the little egg border cut trim and those lovely diecuts in the picture frame. So lovely, each of them. TFS & Hugs
These are such wonderful , glittery , and full of sparkle cards you have created my friend !!!! I love the pretty colors and the designs !!!! Wishing you a beautiful day !!
Hugs,
Mayra
Love those dies! You have me in a Easter-y mood now!
