Happy Easter!

Welcome Everyone;

Easter is just around the corner and one of the really things is making Easter eggs.  As a child, who didn't like getting messy, as well as creating master pieces of painted eggs.  That was one of the highlights of Easter while being allowed to getting a bit messy.  These young ones are definitely have  a spot fo fun.

Today's card is featuring the adorable Easter Fun and Script Eater Greetings, both from High Hopes Stamps.  After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I used a Square Die to cut it out.  I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the eggs on the design paper.  Some twine and emamel dots finished off this CAS card.

Happy Easter!

  We have been enjoying some sun where I live and although there is still a lot of snow on the ground and it is still pretty cold it makes me itch for spring. Not just for the sun and melting snow but for spring flowers and Easter. 

I always seem to forget to give my Easter cards away but this year I am going to try to remember to. We may not be able to get together for Easter again so I am making cards to be able to send out to family. Three Pane Easter from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for Easter and Spring cards. These cute babies just make me smile and I hope they will make the person I send this card to smile too. 


After stamping these cuties with tuxedo black Memento ink, I coloured them with Copic alcohol markers and cut them out using my paper trimmer. After setting them aside I found some paper from Echo Park to create my patterned paper layers. I used a polaroid die to add some interest behind them and cut them out in matching card stock. 
After stamping the sentiment I cut it out using a banner die and trimmed the ends. I mounted it on card stock and slid it under the stamped image. Next I inked all of the layers with antique linen distress ink to help them stand out and added a gingham bow and enamel dots to finish off my card. 

Card Recipe 

Stamp: Three Pane Easter - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Sentiments: Happy Easter! - High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Patterned Paper - Dots and Stripes, Spring - Echo Park

Posing Easter Bunny!

 It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made an Easter card using this sassy little Posing Bunny - R080 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps. She's all prettied up with her Easter Bonnet and wanted to show it off. LOL!

To make my card this week, I used Recollections - Hot Buy Pre-Cut Cards for my base folded at 5.5" x 4.25". Next I die cut Craft Smart - Hot Buy - Spring & Hop using my Cuttlebug and My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Die. This was inked all around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Mermaid Lagoon. It was then attached directly to the base card using Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue. The big Easter Egg is from Simple Stories - Bunnies & Baskets. This was popped up using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

I stamped Posing Bunny - R080 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) using my MISTI and then used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around it. This was coloured in with Copic Markers and I gave her eyes some eyelashes. I added this to the card using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. To complete the card I added in some flowers.

Card Recipe:

Stamp: Posing Bunny - R080 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)

Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Mermaid Lagoon

Paper: Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card, Simple Stories - Bunnies & Baskets, Craft Smart - Hot Buy - Spring & Hop, Recollections - Hot Buy Cards and Envelopes

Die Cuts: My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Dies

Tools: MISTI - Most Incredible Stamping Tool, Cuttlebug, 3M VHB - 2 sided tape

Images coloured with Copic Markers:

Easter Slimline!

Happy Tuesday!
Easter is around the corner which always means to me that Spring is near! It seems like it's been a long winter, especially with all the Covid Lockdowns. I absolutely love this cute bunny called "Flop Eared  Rabbit" from High Hopes Stamps! I decided he would look perfect on a slimline card!
 I thought it was fun to put Flop Eared Rabbit in different positions on my card as he looks like a bit of a mischievous character to me LOL. It's like he just keeps popping in to say hello! I stamped my images onto Copic Friendly paper and using my Copic Markers coloured him in. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to fussy cut him and then placed him in the circles that I had die cut out. I cut the sentiment from High Hopes called "Egg-star Special" in half to add it to my card for a bit of a twist on the original stamp.
Copics Used:
R00, R01, R02
C0, C1, C2, C3, C7
E70, E74, E77, E79
E31, E33, E34, E35, E57, E79
