Easter Bunny and Eggs

It is hard for me to believe it is almost Easter. I hope after Easter Spring will come. When I was little Easter was also the time when I could wear white shoes and then had to put them away on Labor day, anyone remember the Summer colors and Winter colors?
I did use Crackerbox Palace stamps. The die cuts are Spellbinders and was colored in with Copic markers. I did use pop dots under the bunny. On the saying, I tacked it down on the top and used a pop dot at the bottom.
I am not sure where I put the Easter grass, I will probably find it after Easter.
But I did have fusible fibers and Copic refils. This fiber was white and I added a couple of drops of Copic markers and mushed it together and the fibers took it. OH good. I found some little eggs in a drawer and added those.

Thanks for stopping by
hugs, Vicky

Two Easter Cards

Hello Stamper,
Can you believe that Easter is just in a couple of weeks?
The cards I made this week are CAS and made for mailing, so there are no flowers or any oversized embellishments.
I heat-embossed the Eggstra saying in the middle of a Spellbinder die. 
I stamped the Eggs Decorated in another Spellbinder frame. 
I outlined the inner part of the frame with the Spica glitter pens from Copic. The eggs are colored in with the Copic markers. The daisy is a button that I cut the shank off of.
This card is another CAS. The blue background was cut out with a Spellbinder and then embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The oval is another Spellbinder die. Before I took off the die, I sponged Brilliance Sky Blue around the edges. 
The image, Bunny Butt & Ear, was stamped with VersaFine Clair Acorn on light tan and embossed with clear embossing powder, and then stamped again on white to cut out the words. I added the eyes with white pearls, then black.

Hope you have a happy Easter!
 Vicky

Pat St. Martin's Train Card

Hi, I just noticed that Pat did a really great card with one of our stamps. To read what she wrote about the card, stop by Pat St. Martin's blog. She just did a couple of bright and really cute cards after she did this one so I hope you stop by and see all of her great cards.
The card she made doesn't look as yellow on her blog, as it does here.
And look, she completed her card by doing the inside, it's it great?!

I really hope you stop by her blog and see all of the wonderful cards.

A Sweet Thank You And A Bird Birthday Card

Hello Stamper,
Here is a sweet and beautiful Thank You card. All dies are Spellbinnders.
I stamped the Right Rose with Memento Tuxedo, and then the May The World saying was stamped with VersaFine Clair.
I left the stencil on the vine and brushed VersaFine Clair Verdant over it.
Here is a goofy bird named Bird Peeking. She is sitting on our Branch With Leaves.
I stamped the Bird House With Leaves on scrap card stock, and cut it out. I tied it to the branch with string.
I tied a string around the branch to the birdhouse.

I hope you enjoyed the cards.

Chick's Birthday

Have you ever been to a stamping birthday party?
My friend Chick had a Stampin' Up birthday party. She didn't want any gifts but you could make a Stampin' Up order. Your order would be her gift. Plus she had about a dozen cards for everyone to make. Win, win! This is the card I made her for her birthday.
 And this is one of the cards she made for her party from our stamps. I thought this was a neat idea. The square around the bunny she made, she just drew a rectangle around. I am not that good, so I cut out a deckle rectangle from Spellbinders and traced around it, then colored it in. The solid color jellybeans are Brillance ink. A CAS card. I don't do the CAS cards very well, so I was happy to get this sample.
Like I said, I don't do CAS cards very well. I just had to add something, so I added a button. I cut the shank off of the button and colored it with Copic markers. I think Chick did a real nice job on the card even without the basket.

Get Well Soon Flip Card

Hello Stampers
This is an A2 card. I stamped the Circle Get Well Soon And Vitamin Bottle set of 2 and then cut it out with Spellbinder die. The Bandaid is stamped, colored, and cut out.
This is the first flap open. I put Two-Way Glue on the tab.

The last flap is open, and Your Best Real Soon is the inside.

 smiles,
Vicky

Trena Brannon's Teriffic Cards

I wanted to share some cards from a stampin' sister. I met Trena at a stamping retreat, and I liked her from the moment we said hello. She has such a big warm smile and her energy went through the ceiling and her laugh comes from her heart.
I just had to show off Trena's cards. She made these cards with Crackerbox Palace stamps. She has some more great cards on her blog where you can see them here.
I don't know what your weather is like where you are at, but here it is cold and we have snow on the ground. So I thought these might brighten up your day and think of spring.
I think the thought bubble on the ants were a good idea, don't you?
 I like the stripes on the apron that Trena added.

 Trena used Stampscapes for the ocean which goes with Clara.
 Here are some cupcakes for any occasion.
Doesn't this look just Yummy?
I hope you enjoyed Trena's cards and stop on over to see what else she has made. Trena's blog.
