Baby We've Grown Easter card

 

I love this bunny in the Baby, We've Grown stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. Above, I colored him with a Sahara Sand ink pad and aqua painter, and a Pool Party marker.

 

I ran a 4" x 4" piece of Pool Party card stock through the Square Lattice embossing folder, added a 2" x 5" piece of Sweet Sorbet dsp, and then the punched 2-1/2" circle with the bunny. The "happy easter" sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.

 

I hope you're off to a fantastic start to your week!

Wishes for Everybunny to have a wonderful Easter

 

I love the images of bunnies and eggs in the Everybunny stamp set. They're fun to color, and just make me happy.

 

 

I used strips of Twitterpated designer paper on Pink Pirouette card stock, and used Jet Black StazOn ink that won't smear when you watercolor over it. The images were punched out of Whisper White card stock with the 2-1/2" circle punch.

 

 

Many blessings on this Easter to you and your family from me and mine!

From a bunny butt to Easter Blessings, Happy Easter to you!

 

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful day. It was absolutely beautiful here. I got alot done - shopping for a big meal tomorrow, house cleaning, and more. I've been seeing these "bunny butt" cards, as I call them, on Pinterest and other blogs and had to join in the fun. I used the Woodgrain embossing folder on the Soft Suede card front, then used a variety of punches - 2-1/2" circle for the hole and bunny butt, wide oval for the feet, smaller oval for the pink part of the feet, and owl punch for the toes with the 1/2-circle for the heels. The sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set with a Subtles button with baker's twine. The sparkly pom-pom tail was purchased at a craft store years ago!

 



 

This Very Vanilla card was first embossed with the Framed Tulips folder, then sponged around with Elegant Eggplant ink. The Easter Blessings single stamp was also inked in eggplant, die-cut with an oval framelit, and adhered with dimensionals to Natural Composition paper, which already feels embossed. I added three flowers from Flower Trim after sponging them with eggplant.

Raspberry Ripple rabbits from Ears to You are absolutely delish!

 

Raspberry Ripple rabbits - it sounds like a strange, new delicacy. Maybe a new ice cream flavor for Easter! But really it's just the ink color for the Ears to You stamp.

I felt compelled to use these adorable patterned bunnies (again!) for Ginette's 10-card class this morning. The Baja Breeze card uses a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Birds of a Feather dsp, along with a 4-1/4" x 3" piece of Summer Starfruit that was punched with the Scallop Edge Border punch. I used an oval framelit for the bunnies in Whisper White card stock, and added a Raspberry Ripple bow with a mini glue dot. I had fun this morning seeing all of the ladies. We chatted about everything! And we made a date for next month. Ginette (my mother-in-law and also one of my demos) designed and prepped two of the five cards herself - I am so proud of her! She's enjoying it and feeling more comfortable designing cards, thanks to the swaps and cards like these she's been making.

Quick and easy Spring class cards

I had a dozen stampers at my studio a few days ago for a Spring 10-card class. This Blushing Bride card uses Twitterpated dsp, the Elementary Elegance stamp set and Butterflies embosslit for the Big Shot, as well as pearls. I CASE'd it from Christy Fulk, changing the colors.



This Everybunny stamp set card uses Big Top Birthday dsp and Labels Framelits. The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen. There's a bow of Daffodil Delight seam binding - something you can purchase this month as part of the Summer Smooches promotion.

This Baja Breeze card uses the Mixed Bunch stamp set, along with the Blossom, 3/4" and 1" circle, and scallop trim border punches. The other colors are So Saffron and Riding Hood Red. The sentiment is from the Sprinkled Expressions stamp set. I CASE'd the idea from Sue Noetzel, though I changed all of the colors.

I love the simplicity of this Very Vanila card. I used strips of Everyday Enchantment dsp, added a "Hello" from Elementary Elegance, and a diecut butterfly from the butterflies embosslit. I CASE'd this card.

The last design for the class used Heaven Blessed stamps and Everyday Enchantment dsp, with a greeting from Teeny, Tiny Wishes. I used markers to color the image, which was punched out with the 2-1/2" circle punch.





Everybunny loves Easter for Monkey Challenge #102

Wow! Do these colors scream Easter eggs or what? lol I love the Everybunny stamp set. The bunnies in it are so adorable. I used a blender pen and ink pads to color the image, and cut 5/8" strips from Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie dsp (Brights Pattern Paper Pad), while embossing the 5/8" Tempting Turquoise strip with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I created this card using the A La Card Monkey Challenge #102: Easter + Sketch. You can see the sketch below. Isn't that bunny the cutest?

He is Risen Elegant Bird die card for Easter

This card has an easy elegance, thanks to the Framed Tulips embossing folder, the white organza ribbon and the Elegant Bird die. I CASE'd this card from Lisa Young. It also uses a label framelit that I embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, a pearl, eyelet border punch, and designer brad. The "happy easter" is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.

I hope you have a great day! I'll be prepping for my 10-card class before going to my son's student-led conference this afternoon.

Happy Easter everybunny card

I was reminded this week of how fast Easter is approaching - April 8, I believe. So my clubs this month are making this Everybunny Blushing Bride/Marina Mist card.

Accessories: Oval punch, oval scallop punch, Blushing Bride poly-stitch ribbon, aqua painter, Watercolor Crayons (Neutrals, Subtles), Itty Bitty Punch, rhinestones, dimensionals.

A Good Egg Easter card with Four Frames...

Happy Easter to you and your family! I love the chick in the egg from A Good Egg stamp set. I paper-pieced his shell with Play Date dsp, which is also on the front of the card. I stamped the bottom of the chick on the polka-dot frame from Four Frames and then stamped him on Whisper White card stock, colored and cut him out. He's adhered over his legs with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Teeny, Tiny Wishes. It was punched out with the Word Window Punch and then I added a Tempting Turquoise glimmer brad.

The Four Frames stamp set will be in the big new catalog coming out July 1, but you can purchase it this month! Click on the flyer at the top right of my blog under Spring is Blossoming.

Enjoy your day!

Petal Cone carrot favor for Easter...

Our punches make layering like this so easy! They're a nice way to add dimension and color to a project.



The "carrot" shape is from the Petal Cone die for the Big Shot. I cut off one of the top rounded flaps, and adhered a scalloped one in Garden Green (also cut with the Petal Cone die) after stamping the entire Tangerine Tango carrot with the Sanded background stamp. I used Sticky Strip to hold the carrot together.

Bunny Basket & Bloom...

Kim's customers got to make this punched bunny, which is attached with dimensionals to a Creamy Caramel Basket die for the Big Shot.

The 1/2-inch circle punch was used for the eyes and under the heart-punched nose.

The small and large oval punches, along with the oval scallop punch, were all used for inside the wide oval punched ears.

The bottom photo shows there are malted milk balls in a cello bag tied shut with a bow of satin Bashful Blue ribbon.

Pearl's fabulous Easter bucket...

This 3d project was a WOW! when we all saw it at our last American Ink gathering.

My friend and downline, Pearl, made this 3d item for a contest I hosted. She won hands-down!

I'm holding another 3d Contest for our next American Ink gathering on April 10, as a reminder.

Punched Easter Bunny Party Favor Box...

This was the fifth and final project at my recent Easter Stamp Camp. It uses the Party Favor Box die for the Big Shot, as well as a variety of hand punches

The Party Favor Box is So Saffron, with a 2-1/2" x 12" piece of Tea Party dsp around it. A 1" strip of the same paper was used as the handle, with rhinestone brads holding it in place.

The bunny's head and body are 1-3/4" circles, the cheeks are 3/4" circles, the eyes are 1/4" circles (with highlights added with the Unibal white gel pen), and the ears and feet are small Pretty in Pink ovals on Whisper White oval scallops. The toes are 1/8" circles.

All of the pieces were sponged with Pretty in Pink ink. And the bunny's nose is a brad. I saw on another blog the addition of eyelashes and claws with a black marker, so I borrowed that look. (Thanks!)

The flower and leaves on the bunny's ear are from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit, you just punch them out with your fingers! We added a Soft Subtle brad and adhered it with a mini glue dot.

I added a knot of 1/4" Bashful Blue grosgrain, and stuck the bunny to the handle and basket with dimensionals.
