Default Do you send Easter cards???

I have been searching online trying to find a cute Easter stamp and there are none "jumping out at me" this year and I just don't know if I will send any out.

Do the majority of you send Easter cards out?

Thanks, Sherri

I always send a few - often they are more "spring" type cards.

I used to. But, as I grew up, I noticed that it's not a traditional greeting in California (as it seemed to be in the South). *shrug* I send a few cards out and give a few to family members...although, it's usually more of a "Happy Spring" card.

I send them out every Easter. I, too, find it challenging to find a good card for Easter, so I tend to lean towards a spring theme as well.

I've never sent Easter cards, but I got the new Faith & Hope set and I'm loving it so much that I just thought this morning - I guess I'll need to send out a few Easter cards. I like that it has the combination of a cute image and a Bible verse. I don't usually go for "bunny stuff" for Easter, but I do like this set.

I always send easter cards. My favorite easter stamp set is "The gifts of spring". It is now retired. I also like Bunny Buddies, which is also retired. There is also another cute set. Spring Gifts. Here is the link to a card I found the other day, by mom5boys Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I do not have this set. It is retired also.

I send out some Easter cards too... especially to the grandkids that are out of town... can't let them think they are forgotten! Also, a few to close friends.

If I have time, and I'm in the mood, I'll send a card to my parents and to my in-laws. Otherwise, no Easter cards.

I send cards for every conceivable holiday... and some I even make up myself.

I am all about bunnies and other cute critters. I just bought a set of stamps from addictedtorubberstamps.com called "Current Critters"... there are so many cute bunnies in it, I splurged and got them all. There are quite a few in my gallery.

Anyhow, short answer: Yup, I send Easter cards.

I usually send one to my sister and one to my mom. I don't care for the whole egg/bunny thing, so mine are usually more spring-like too...either that or more religious in nature with a cross or something. I have gotten a few new flower sets lately, so maybe this year I'll send out a few more this year just so I can play!

I have been sending out Easter cards for about 6-7 years. I have my standard list of family/friends who receive all of my holiday cards. I have sent out cutesy bunny ones, but lately I have been trying to send more religious ones. I found a really pretty Easter Lily stamp at a LSS one year and I've used that twice now. I just found a pretty cross stamp I'm using this year. Just have to figure out what sentiment/verse I'm using this year. I have printed out verses on vellum on my printer in the past - that works when you can't find the right stamp.

I send some Easter cards, about 6 or 8 to family. I always use the Christian stamps [a cross or an empty tomb] with a "Praise the Lord!" or "He is Risen" stamp.

I also send for every conceivable occasion and then some. Most of my family and friends are Christian, so I usually do one Christ-centered card a cutesy one as well. I did one for a challenge that I will probably use this year. Here it is!

I make Easter cards, they just don't always get mailed out. lol I bought a stamp set a while back from TAC, The Jelly Bean Prayer, and I absolutely love it. I wish SU had more easter stamps. I don't really care for the ONE in the catty. So, I stick to my Jelly Bean Prayer. Ususally what I do is fill a bag with Jelly beans, top the bag, and attach the prayer with a ribbon to the topper. I'll have to scrounge one up to post. They are super duper cute.

I love Easter cards.

HI~

I didn't send many cards till I started making them. This year I'm going to send Easter Egg Medallion cards.

Now that I've gotten into stamping, I plan to send a few Easter cards out. I made quite a few last year, but my father-in-law passed away about a week before Easter and we had to get away for the funeral. Consequently, I have last year's cards that weren't sent. I'll be sending them out this year.

It's just such fun to make cards. I want to share!

I have all intentions of sending some this year. But I'm like you there are not any from SU that I just love. I like the set you can get as the March special from CTMH. I may order those. I haven't decided yet.

Absolutely. I've been stamping for 10+ years and add a few sets or cute Easter stamps each year. I make about 25 for Easter!

I've always mailed Easter cards with a religious greeting. To me, Easter is a more important holiday than Christmas and I do mail them out for that reason, but I don't get many Easter cards from other people. I don't mind, though -

Eureka Stamps has an entire page of crosses.
http://www.eurekastamps.com/crosses.shtml
Also, go to the main catalog page, click Easter, then go to the 3rd page. They have verses from Luke 24th chapter.

I do, specially now that I moved away and I miss my 9 nieces and nephews back home. They love getting individual cards for any occasion and it keeps me in their minds. They all range from 9 to 22 years old.
