Hello and welcome everyone!

Mother’s Day is coming up, and for once I will be ready!

My design team card for I Am Roses was designed with my Mother-in-Law in mind. The gorgeous flowers are perfect for the beautiful diecuts and the foral paper.

Star Dust Stickles was added to the edges of the large peach flowers. Glitter without a doubt makes everything better…lol!!


The cream scalloped eyelet diecut in the background was actually a rectangle, but needed it to be square for my card. The make it work I cut part of it out and glued it back together, hiding the seam behind the olive ribbon.

The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used on my card are:

R2-15 -Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R8-921 – 5/8″ or 1.5 cm White – Tiny Soft Pink Center

Easter

Hello friends!

Can you believe Easter is right around the corner? All those bunnies will be hopping around delivering baskets to all the kiddos…lol!

I am back today to share a fun and bright Easter card with you featuring products from the new release at Ink n’Splatter Stamps. These darling bunnies are from the Hoppy Bunnies Stamp Set.

I stamped these cuties on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers.

~Copics~
Bunnies: W3, W2, W1, W0, W00, R30, R00, R000
Egg: YG17, YG03, YG01, White Gel Pen

I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the letters. I used two layers of white and one colored layer to give the letters a little bit of dimension. I added a fun frame and a couple die cut flowers to add a little brightness to the corners. The bunnies were cut out with the coordinating Hoppy Bunnies Die Set. I added a few embellishments to the letters to make them pop.

Hello friends!

I don’t know about you, but I am SO over the snow and just want Spring to hurry up and get here!!

My card today features these two ADORABLE little ducklings from Ink n’Splatter Stamps new release. The ducklings are part of the Easter Bunnies Stamp Set, and the bunch of Easter eggs are from the Hoppy Bunnies Stamp Set.

I stamped these super sweet ducklings and eggs on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. One the ink was dry I colored them with the following markers.

~Copics~
Yellows: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00

Pinks: RV19, RV17, RV55, RV02, RV00
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG00
Whites: C2, C1, C00
White Gel Pen

After my coloring was done, I die cut the ducklings and the bunch of Easter Eggs using the coordinating Easter Bunnies Die Set. The background was created using papers from the Easter Egg Explosion 6×6 paper pad.

I couldn’t resist adding chocolate bunny die cuts to add in the basket for the ducklings to munch on.

Hi friends!

Did you set any goals for yourself for 2023? My goal is to use stamps I have in my stash. I am one that tends to want all the new adorable and cute things that come out…but then I never use what I already have. This year it’s time to change things up.
