Default non-traditional Easter cards?

Everyone is so creative here, I know you can point me the right way! Can you suggest some non-traditional Easter cards? I have "Happy Easter" from AYC, but no other Easter stamps. Thanks!

I used the smaller tulip from Terrific Tulips several times to make a cross. You could use about any stamp and repeat it 5 or 6 times in the shape of a cross. I think I did it on vellum.

It depends on what stamps you DO have, and whether you want a religious theme or not. For non-religious, flowers in pretty pastels would work--stamp one or two, or a bouquet, or in a basket, or the back of a pickup. Cut some egg shapes out of colored cardstock and stamp them with polkadots or paisley or flowers and use pop dots (dimensionals) to adhere a few to a card. Cut out some bunny ears and glue them behind an egg.

Type "Easter" into the search field of the gallery and see what you come up with.

I send a lot of "HAPPY SPRING" type cards -- I think of them as Easter cards but they tend to really be more floral. Daffodils are great at this time of year

I didn't think I had any Easter stamps, then remembered Fab 4 and my Loads of Love Acc. easter eggs...awww, shucks, guess that means I don't have a reason to buy a Easter stamp or two...

I made Easter cards out of the jelly beans in All Wrapped Up Accessories.

I have a very non-traditional Easter card in my gallery.

This probable isn't what you have in mind -
but for an all together different kind of Easter card I thought it would be fun to case this one for my family with the phase:

Hope the Easter bunny makes it to your house this year.

My family loves funny cards and I laughed so hard when I saw this one, I thought they would enjoy the warped sense of humor.

Default Mamadukes, loved the card

I have that alligator. Now will have to see if I have a bunny that fits. My grandson would love that.
