Lily Arch, the new monthly clear stamp and die set is perfect for making Easter cards! Learn how to make this one here in this article.
I'm always on the lookout for different cards to make for Easter. And, the lily arch makes it so easy to make an elegant one.
Lets jump right in to make this one.
Lily Arch Heat Embossing
We'll begin by heat embossing the image with gold embossing powder. First, we'll brush an A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) piece of

We need to cut three more using the Lily Arch die from white cardstock. These will be used later to create dimension on our card.
We're using a simple background that mimics the arch in the design. The Essential Arches die set is perfect for this! Die-cut an arch from f
