Ears For You

This is one of the single stamps called Ears For You available through March. I used the new oval framelits to cut out the layers. Be careful cutting the card base. You want to leave a bit of the fold so it actually folds over like a card. I also embossed it with the fancy fan folder. I used melon mambo, raspberry ripple, and regal rose to color the bunnies (marker on rubber method). The words are lucky limeade. After I stamped the bunnies I masked them then I stamped with the leaves from Just Believe in certainly celery. I also covered the words with a post-it note so they wouldn't get ink on them. I used a regal rose marker and made little dots on the leaves then I covered over the dots with dazzling diamonds. I sponged the edges of everything with regal rose. The raspberry ripple oval is attached with dimensionals. The ribbon is attached with glue dots.

Everybunny Easter Card

Like cute? Then set is for you! Stinkin' cute, as my friend Patty would say. Do you notice the curly ribbon? That is the sale-a-bration ribbon. I wrapped eight inches around a wooden skewer, lightly taped down both ends, then used my embossing gun and heated it up for a few seconds. The tighter you roll it, the tighter the curls. I cut the curled piece in half. I added a bow, too.

 The bunny is colored with markers. I went around the entire image with a Sahara Sand marker after I colored her in. I also made her eye a bit larger. On the parts of the bunny that had shade lines I added a touch of Crumb Cake marker just to add highlights and shading. I gave her a cheek using a Pink Pirouette marker. Quick and easy!

Come on over Feb. 18th or 19th and make this card with us. I would love to have you!

A Good Egg

Happy Easter! I used A Good Egg to make this adorable card. I stamped everything in black stazon, colored the egg dots with markers (pretty in pink, certainly celery, rose red, and bashful blue), then I used an aqua painter and a daffodil pad to color the chicks. The flowers are from the boho punch. They get the cool 3-D effect if you poke them into your palm with the eraser end of a pencil after you punch them out. I added a large pearl to each flower center. I punched Happy Easter out with the medium oval, sponged the edge with pink, and then I added a scallop oval layer behind it using celery. The base is daffodil textured by using the dotted folder and my Big Shot. After I assembled the entire card I added crystal effects over each egg. I love that shiny look. Sounds easy, doesn't it. Try it!

Bird Punch Rose Buds

This is a WOW card! I am so happy I have the bird punch. I cut the buds and the bud covers from the bird's  wing out of regal rose and garden green. I sponged the edges of all six pieces. Cutting the V out of the green is easier if you lay it on the pink and draw the V where you want it. Clip the V, attach it to the pink, then trim off the bottom right edge just a hair to get rid of the roundness. I punched four leaves, too. The buds are attached with dimensionals. The base is rose, then a layer of garden green, then a layer of very vanilla. The vanilla layer was just big enough to fit in the tulip folder without any fancy tricks. I sponged the edges in green but that wasn't quite enough. I sponged over the tulips, too. I covered the inside of the vanilla so I didn't get ink where I didn't want it. Easter Wishes came from All Holidays. I used vanilla satin ribbon and tied the bow with a circle brad.

Sweet Summer Easter Chick

Peep, peep!! You can order the instructions for making this adorable chick at http://www.paperpunchaddiction.com/. Kim Score does incredible punch art work. Some are free tutorials. Some are at a very low cost. This is from the Easter collection. I am not allowed to tell you how to make one on my blog. I used the free Sweet Summer set again to show you how it makes a wonderful spring background. I used my cloud template and sponged in some clouds this time. I think I will make a template for my stampers to put in with their orders this month for my thank you gift. The words came from Easter Blossoms. We need more word sets!!

Easter Blossoms Daffodil

This is a version of Jackie Topa's daffodil which uses the new petals punch. I punched the petals out of daffodil (lol) and sponged around the edges. The center one was rolled around a pencil the sort of flattened. I cut the bottom off just a bit. The other petals were folded in half the unfolded before mounting. The front two petals are bent forward. I used a glue dot to hold them on because you only want to put tape on the bent under part. I cut the greenery by hand. The background is made using a scallop template I cut by hand. Start in the bottom corner and sponge with bashful blue. Keep moving the template up until you are finished. I used the scallop punch and a daffodil ribbon to finish it off. It needed a little more something so I added a large pearl in the center of the daffodil. Thanks for the idea, Patty!!

Sweet Summer Chocolate Bunny

I wish I had a better camera. This little guy is so cute!!! He is much brighter up close and personal. Hop on over to my house this weekend and you can make him. I used chocolate chip and pretty in pink for the bunny. I used several punches including the large and small scallop circles, 1/4 and 1/2 inch circle punches, medium and small oval punches, and the triple heart punch. I used a white gel pen for the eyes and whiskers. I stamped the background using Sweet Summer from the current mini and colored in using markers. I cut the grass freehand. His bow is narrow pink grosgrain. Too cute!!!!!
