Easter Blessings

Hello!!

I'm on the Art Impressions blog today! Easter is fast approaching! AI has lots of Easter sets, a new one last year is Easter Blessings with super cute images!

First, I stamped and colored the rabbit in the sunflower. I used the following Spectrum Noir markers to color the image: CT1, CT3, CT4, EB1, EB2, FS7, LG2, LG3, LG5. Nest I fussy cut the image out.

From my stash, I found some old DoodleBug orange flower pattern paper, which I adhered to a white card base. Then with watercolor cardstock, I used distress ink to make the paper yellow and orange, trimming it so the orange pattern paper could be seen on the sides.

I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the panel, then wrapped some twine around it. I added the sentiments and a few sequins and last added the bunny.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Art Impressions & Therm-O-Web

Hello!!

I'm on the Art Impressions blog today here with some Easter inspiration using some awesome Therm-O-Web products!! My card features this year's new Easter Blessings stamp set, Amethyst Watercolor Deco Foil, iCraft Easy Cut Adhesive Sheet and 3D White Foam Sticky Strips.

I started with the Easy Cut Adhesive Sheet and the Deco Foil. I already had a die picked out and cut the Adhesive Sheet a little bit bigger than the die, then peeling off one side of the release paper. Then I added the Deco Foil, silver side down and ran it through my die cutting machine.

I set aside the die cut and stamped the cute little bunny with the tulip on some white cardstock. With my Spectrum Noir Markers, I colored him (or her) up! I used CG3, CR5, CR6, DG2, EB1, EB2, FS6, GB8, HB1, HB2, HB3, IG2, LG3, LG5, LV3, PL1, PL2.

Next, I stamped the Easter Blessings sentiment and then trimmed the panel to a strip and fussy cutting out the top part of the bunny and flower. 

When I played with the layout of the die cut on a card base there was too much extra space, so I trimmed down the card base. The card roughly measures 4.25 x 4 inches. To apply the die cut I just removed the second release paper and added it to the card, jus love the metallic shine! With the 3D Foam Strips, I added the bunny and sentiment strip along the bottom.

Easter Blessings

Hello!!

I'm on the Art Impressions blog today and Easter is fast approaching and Art Impressions has a new Easter Blessings set that is perfect for your Easter cardmaking! When I got this set I stamped all them images and colored them together. Then over time made the cards with each image. 

For this cute bunny holding an Easter egg, I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color him. I used CR5, CR6, CT4, EB1, EB2, FS6, GB5, GB8, HB2, HB3, LG4, LG4, LV3, TB3, TB4. After coloring I fussy cut the bunny. 

I pulled out an old Doodlebug Easter sticker sheet and decided to use some of the flowers from the sheet. From my stash, I found some green washi tape and I added it across a white card base. 

With foam tape, I added the bunny and flowers. I also stamped the Easter Blessings, trimmed it to a rectangle and added it to the card with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Easter with Art Impressions

Hello!!

It's time to start thinking about Easter!! My card combines the Windows to the World Bunny in Tulips and the Window Die to make a sweet little Easter card!

I started with some pretty pattern paper, that to me looked like some cool wallpaper. The idea is that you are inside looking outside through the window. I trimmed the paper to fit a white card base and then placed the Window Die off to the left, securing it with washi tape. It took a few runs through the die cutting machine to cut through both layers. 

I cut the Window die again from some brown card stock. To the back side of the window I placed a piece of acetate, this replicates a real window. With a little liquid adhesive, I inserted the brown Window over the acetate. 

Next, I stamped the Bunny in Tulips and used my Distress Markers to color it. I used Gathered Twigs, Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Peeled Paint, Milled Lavender, Shabby Shutter, Mustard Seed, Vintage Photo, Scattered Straw. I used a fancy square die to cut it out, then I placed it on the inside of the card so you can see through the window. Last I stamped the Hoppy Easter sentiment from the Hoppy Easter Stamp Set.

Art Impressions - Challenge #200 - Spring Fling

Hello!!

It's the second week of Art Impressions Spring Fling challenge!! AI has a new Holiday Sets, Easter Blessings & Nuts About You! You still have a week to play along, just use spring colors!!

My card features the new Easter Blessings set. I started by stamping the bunny surrounded by flowers on white card stock. Then I used the following Spectrum Noir Markers to color it: CG2, CR5, CR6, CT4, DG2, DG3, EB1, EB2, FS6, GB5, GB8, HB2, HB3, LG4, LG5, LV3, TB3, TB4. When the coloring was done, I just fussy cut around the image leaving a little bit of a white border.

I found some spring colored pattern paper from my collection, I'm pretty sure it's some old Lawn Fawn papers. I cut two patterns about an inch and half wide and then adhered them to a white card base.

I added the colored image with foam tape. Then I stamped the Some Bunny Loves You sentiment and trimmed it down to a rectangle and adhered it to the card. Last I added a few colorful pearls!

We Wish You

Hello!!

Today i have a non holiday, springy card for you!! I mean why not, 66 degrees around here i might as well!!! LOL But not to worry it's supposed to snow Friday!! Haha!!

Anyway i'm on The Alley Way Stamps blog today and my card features the Happy Everything stamp set, The set has every holiday and lots of special occasions! Figured it was a great way to pair the Easter stamp with some Easter stickers!

I first die cut some purple pattern paper and stamped the most of the sentiment on it, then i added it to a Kraft card base with foam tape. Next i added a cute little bunny, flowers and scroll stickers to the fancy rectangle.

Below the fancy rectangle i stamped Easter, directly on the Kraft. As a final touch i added a tiny flower next to the stamped Easter!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #133

Hello!

Its time for a new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps & More!! This week the challenge is Holiday!! I went with Easter!! I used bright spring like colors because i am so ready for spring!!

I started with a light blue card base then added a white notched banner with the flat side at the bottom of the card base (oh, i almost forgot, before adding it to the card base i tied a twine bow around it!). Next i die cut several Easter eggs from pattern paper. I also cut some white felt flowers and green felt leaves.

Next i arranged the eggs and flowers at the bottom of the card, when i was happy with the arrangement i adhered some eggs directly to the card and a couple with foam dots. I adhered the flowers and leaves on and around the eggs then added a little pink glitter glue to each flower center.

Last i inked up the You're Egg-stra Special' sentiment and stamped it above the banner. I just love this sentiment, a perfect little message to send to a special someone for Easter!!

I hope you will play along with us at Addicted to Stamps and More!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Happy Easter

Hello,

Today i have a card to share for the Lawnscaping Challenge 99 - Clean and Simple. To take a break in making Love/Valentine cards i decided to make an Easter card.

I started by die cutting a stitched oval from a piece of white card stock. I placed the negative over a white card base. With a ink applicator i applied blue ink lightly to the oval. Next i pulled out some pattern paper, which i think is Lawn Fawn, but its old and not available. I cut a wave along one edge, then placed it along the bottom part of the stitched oval and die cut it.

I added the pattern paper piece to my card base with foam dots, since i colored the oval blue, the pattern piece fits nicely in the bottom of the inked oval. Next i stamped the cute little bunny from the Lawn Fawn Happy Easter set in black ink. I colored him with Copic Markers.

In my embellishment drawer i found a old (like super old) Easter sticker sheet. It has some cute glitter flowers. I pulled several off, using baby powder to make the stickers not sticky. I arranged them around the oval and when i was happy with it i added several with foam dots a few directly to the card. Last i added the bunny with foam dots too and then stamped the sentiment below the oval.

Thanks for stopping by!! I'll be back tomorrow with another love/valentine card!! (only a couple more!! ) :)
