Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Daydream Easter Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and I’m excited to see what my team members have created for the Hop this week!

I used the Daffodil Daydream Stamp Set, Daffodil Dies, Elegant Borders Dies and one of the embossing folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set along with some pretty paper from the Country Floral Lane 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack.

We have a “Spring” theme challenge for the Hop today!

From a Basic White panel measuring 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ I positioned the scrolling die from the Elegant Borders Dies along the long right edge of the panel and die cut. I pulled out the cross-hatch embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set and then embossed the die cut panel. The panel was then adhered to the front of the Balmy Blue card base.

I stamped the larger daffodil image and stamped the butterfly image twice onto a piece of white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I used So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color in the daffodils and their stems and Starry Sky and Balmy Blue Stampin Blends to color the butterflies. I used the coordinating dies from the Daffodil Dies set to cut out the images.

Using the second to largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies I cut out a circle from a Balmy Blue and white striped print from the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. The die cut daffodils were adhered to this circle using glue, then the circle was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto a coordinating piece of designer series paper in Starry Sky ink with the sentiment stamped slightly to the right. One of the die cut butterflies was adhered to the left side of the sentiment label and the label was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The second butterfly was adhered just above the circle to the right.

On the inside panel I stamped the smaller daffodil image and colored in the image as I did for the daffodils on the card front. A single butterfly was stamped just above the daffodil and colored in. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The small butterfly was stamped onto the lower corner of the envelope front and I added a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed away the excess paper from the flap. A double white twine bow was added to the stems of the daffodils on the card front. To finish off the card I used Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle to the butterflies.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Easter Bunny Easel Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and you know what that means! It’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Be sure to hop around to all of the blogs in the Hop today for some great inspiration!

I created this cute easel Easter card for today using the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and a pretty print from the Rain or Shine 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

We have a sketch challenge for today’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and here it is…

The standing and sitting bunnies were stamped onto scraps of white cardstock and I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the images. I also stamped two carrots and colored in these images as well. I then used my paper snips to fussy cut the images. From a small strip of Old Olive cardstock I cut a gentle rolling hill.

A panel of flowered paper from the Rain or Shine 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper was adhered to a mat in Basic White cardstock and this unit was then adhered to a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Mango Melody cardstock. The hand cut “hill” was adhered to the bottom of this unit. I used my paper snips to cut between the paws of the sitting bunny and adhered one of the fussy cut carrots between the bunny’s paws. The bunnies were then adhered to this panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the second carrot was tucked behind the grass hill between the bunnies.

A card base measuring 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ was cut from Mango Melody cardstock and scored on the long edge at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. The bottom of the decorated bunny panel was adhered to the front bottom of the card base.

A panel of the same Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper flower print was adhered to the inside of the card. On a white panel measuring 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ I stamped grass along the bottom edge and used an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend to color in the blades of grass. Two butterflies were stamped on this panel and also colored with Stampin’ Blends in So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie. This white panel was adhered to the inside of the card towards the top.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies set, I cut one large and one small sentiment label from white cardstock using the larger of the four label dies included in the set. I stamped the sentiment “Enjoy all the little moments” onto the smaller labels and “Happy Easter” onto the larger label using Mango Melody ink. The small sentiment label was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the label was placed towards the upper left of the card front. The larger sentiment label was placed on the inside of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This label becomes the “stop” for the easel portion of the card and was positioned towards the bottom of the inside of the card and centered right to left.

The envelope front was decorated with grass and a butterfly and a coordinating piece of designer series paper was added to the envelope front. I tied a small bow using white Baker’s twine and placed the bow on one of the bunnies. Multiple yellow Loose Frosted Dots were added to the card front to finish off the card.

This was a fun card to put together and it’s a great card for the little ones! You can view a pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the link below.

Friday Fun Day! Woven Easter Basket & Chick

Happy Friday!

I wanted to try something different and here it is! I started with a rectangle of scrap cardstock for the basket base and cut 1/2″ strips from various cardstock scraps and wove a little Easter basket. While this project was a little fussy to put together…it was a whole lot of FUN, too!

The woven Easter basket is adorned with a cute little chick, grass and flowers and finished off with a ribbon handle. The basket sits on an embossed panel and scalloped circle. The cute chick image also adorns the envelope and inside of the card.

Flowering Tulips Easter Card / Remember to Check out the Retiring and Last Chance List

flowering tulips easter card

Happy Monday! Here in the mid-Atlantic we started the weekend off with spring-like weather and by today it was snowing, and temperatures have dropped into the 30’s with 20’s expected overnight. I know it’s spring and the warmth will return very soon but it’s the end of March! I’m glad our strawberry plants are still safely tucked in with straw and they won’t be harmed by the frost. Okay, on to today’s card.

Today’s project uses the Flowering Tulips bundle and a greeting from the Easter Friends stamp set. I had so much fun playing with the Flowering Tulips bundle. I admit I had to watch a few videos to learn how to use the tulip dies. It’s not difficult but the shapes sure do look funny! It turns out that the dies place a score line on the larger tulip pieces which makes assembly easy once you know what to look for. Smart!

I chose Poppy Parade as a card base, accented by Petal Pink and the beautiful Flowering Fields 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This paper is absolutely gorgeous!
