Easter Card with bunny

Another Easter card. It uses a mixture of stuff I've had from when I first started papercrafting and my Stampin Up supplies. The bunny and grass are from some retired dies that I got a couple of years ago. I used Pretty in Pink chalk to color the bunny's ears and the Going Gray ink with a blender pen to color the eye. The little flowers are from the Flower Trio punch and the sequins in the center are ones that my grandmother gave me :) The sentiment is from the stamp set Well Scripted.

I made up an Easter Kit in my Etsy shop to share some of these things if anyone is interested in making their own creations along these lines.

Easter projects for my March class

Hey, everyone! These are the projects we made in yesterday's class. The little basket is made from the Scallop Envelope die. I'm going to use my basket for my husband for Easter with a few of his favorite treats :) He's got a sweet tooth.

I love this card! I designed the card to coordinate with the basket, so the people attending my class could use them together as a set. I love the stamp set, Abundant Hope, that I used on the card. It's cheap, just $13.95! What I really like is the Christian sentiment that comes with it "Rejoicing with you in the abundant mercy and hope of Christ the Lord." And then the images, a scroll (that I didn't use on the card) and the daffodils, I'll use all year. I think it would make a beautiful sympathy card. I hope it makes it into the new catalog that comes out this summer, because I plan to use it a lot!!

Well, this is all I can share today. I'm visiting cosmetology schools with my daughter today. She thinks she wants to be a hair stylist and wants to attend cosmetology school this summer and through her senior year. So, we're off to check it out.

Easter Blessings Card

This card uses the stamp set Easter Blessings. Except for my boo-boo this was an easy card to make :) Too bad the camera doesn't catch the popped up flowers. I think it looks better in person than in this photo. Oh well!

Tomorrow, I'll have pictures of the projects we'll be doing at my Thursday morning class. But no guarantees of a video as I'll be concentrating on my upcoming class :)

Have a great week!

Easter Chick punch art card

Hey, everyone!!

I've been waiting to make this card for a week now, but I had to get some yellow feathers first!! If I'd had a yellow feather duster, I would have plucked a few and made it immediately!! I finally sat down and made it this morning.

I really like how it turned out. Except you can't see the edge of the punched grass, cuz' this guy's feathers are just too fluffy--LOL! But it was a surprisingly easy card to make.

I didn't make a video today because I have a lot to do today :) My son is coming home from college for spring break. He'll be here for the next 10 days. I probably won't make any videos during that time. But I'll probably still make it up into my stamp room here and there. When I do, I'll post pictures of what I make :)

If you want a video for this card, let me know and I'll film it after spring break.

Until then, here is what I used.
PUNCHES- wide oval, scallop edge (for grass), modern label, word window, Heart to Heart (beak) punch
Other tools: Scallop Circle Die, and 4" circle
Cardstock: Whisper White, Green Galore, Orchid Opulence, Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Pretty In Pink

Have a great weekend!!

Easter Egg Card

Hey everyone!

If you decide to make today's project, you're going to love it. These Easter eggs are so much fun to make. This would make a great card to do with the kids too. Your eggs can be as simple or as complex as you'd like. Today I used cardstock, designer series paper and different embellishments. You could also do techniques like the Shaving Cream technique (you can check out my video tutorial (non easter)for that from last year). Anyway, I'm be making more egg cards this weekend and they'll be up in my Etsy shop. And I'll post them on my blog too, so you can see if there's anything you'd like to copy.

I hope you enjoy these.

Coloring Therapy

I really like coloring--whether it's watercoloring with inkpads or watercolor crayons and the aquapainter or using markers & blender pens on the watercolor paper, I love it! Unfortunately, I don't own a lot of stamp sets suitable for watercoloring! I will for sure be getting some more from the next catalog.

This is a retired hostess stampset that is fun to watercolor. This was my therapy one night :)

Make a card in less than 5 minutes!

This an easy- stamp as you're running out the door card. It uses the grass from Inspired by Nature (it's not in the catalog, but you can still order it from the dormant list--I'm hoping this makes it back into the upcoming catalog). The eggs are punched from Baja Breeze Designer paper with the Wide Oval Punch. Then I used a Jumbo eyelet, some Baja Breeze striped grosgrain ribbon and some natural twine. Easy, peasy!

Sale-a-bration Easter Pull Card

This is a pull card for a 3 oz. Ghiradelli chocolate bar. I used certainly celery cardstock and certainly celery ink with the Polka Dot Punches stamp set to create the base. The belly band is Pink Pirouette cardstock and Saleabration Lots of Dots DSP. The ribbon I used is the Certainly Celery Saleabration twill ribbon. I used all SU punches to create the rabbit.
