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.

Happy Easter Fancy was stamped with VersaFine Claire.

Hope you have a happy Easter!

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.

Happy Easter Basket

This is the last of 4 cards I made at dad's before he passed away, so again I did not have many supplies with me.

The stamps are from Crackerbox Palace stamps and colored with Copic markers.

I had a stack of cut pieces I brought with me. The dotted background is one of them that I cut out with Spellbinders. It is layered on blue and then the card is a dark green that is the same color that is behind the pink card stock that has the image on it.

Tri-fold Nature Card

I know this says Happy Easter, but it could say anything or you could just have the image on the front without any words.

I know I am a little behind in posting the Easter cards, I am sorry but I have been staying with my folks and taking care of them so I am not at home with my software and things. It took me days to figure out what I can use on their computer to get my images to post.

I like the job that Currie did on this card, I think you will too.

The stamps she used are Crackerbox Palace stamps also Stampscapes stamps. On all of the panels, she used Stampscape stamps for the background, and the other images are Crackerbox Palace stamps.

Currie stamped the trees and grasses with green ink and the rest of  Stampscapes with brown ink.

The front of the card on the right side with brown ink is one of Crackerbox's stamps, and the water area is chalked. The bunny was stamped and cut out. The image is mounted on printed paper and the edges were distressed.

The whole card is 11 x 5 1/4.

Scored at 3 3/4 and 7 1/2.

The panel that is 3 3/4, is the front of the card. The last panel will be 3 1/4 to be able to fold into the card.

The inside panels are stamped on a light card stock that is 4 1/2 x 10 1/4.  After the image is stamped, cut the inside panels at 3 1/2 and 7 inches. the 1st and 2nd panel will be 3 1/2 but the last panel will be 3 1/4. When you see the card open you can not tell that each panel is not the same.

Use a corner rounder punch on each corner and mount the panels.

The frame on the middle panel is our barbwire frame stamp used with orange ink.

The 4th panel (the one with the chicks) is on the back of the 3rd panel, that is also 4 1/4 x 3 1/4. The chicks are stamped and cut out.

Maybe change the images a little and you would have a great guy card for birthday or Father's day.

Sew a Tree

Currie made this card, and I know this says Easter, but you could use this idea at any time this spring and summer.

You can draw a tree or use a stencil. Poke holes on the outline.

Currie used variegated embroidery thread for the green leaves and brown for the trunk of the tree.

She stamped and colored the chick, bunny and grass around the tree.

Mount on brown card stock and then mounted on lighter brown and stamp a saying at the bottom. Finally mount on a card made with kraft card stock.

Jelly Bean Tag

Isn't this a great tag that Currie made?

You can cut a tag out of light tan or a file folder.

Punch a small circle and glue it where the hole will go.

Stamp the outline jelly bean all over tag and color. I am not sure if you can see that Currie used Smooch on the highlights of the jelly beans.

Stamp a couple of background stamps to add interest.

Stamp Happy Easter with blue ink, cut out and use ink to distress around the edges and glue to tag.

Stamp frame, color around the edge and cut out. Stamp Spring in the center.

Stamp bunny, color and cut out and add to tag.

Stamp saying on colored paper, cut out and glue to Tim Holtz Fragments.

Cut burlap a little bigger than tag and fray edges and glue to tag.

Punch hole with Crop-a-dile, put pink ribbon through the hole and add safety pin.

I think this would even make a cute door hanger!

Happy Easter !!
