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.

As always you can find an abundance of Ink n’Splatter products for sale here.

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
Oranges: YR18, YR15, Y38, Y15
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.

Hello!

I’m sending everyone flowers to brighten their day! I love purple flowers, but sadly they are hard to find in some varieties. The great thing about sending handmade cards is you can color the flowers any color you wish.

This gorgeous die from Crafty Meraki called Avery Mini Slimline Die is perfect to get creative with.

The flower portion of my card is from a die cut. The die was cut using X-Press It Blending Card and was colored with the following markers and colored pencils.

~Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils~

Flowers: BV02, BV000, BV0000, RV63, RV00, RV000, RV0000 then Prismacolor 996, 994, 956, 929, 938
Flower Centers: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00
Greens: YG63, YG61, YG13, YG01, G21, G20
Border: C4, C2, C0

My card base is 1/8″ larger than the die cut to give it the look of being layered. I added a patterned paper behind the flowers to add a little bit of visual interest. The sentiment was stamped from the Thanks Bunches Clear Stamp Set.

Fangs for being my friend

October 24, 2021October 23, 20212 Comments

Hi friends!

I am scared to death of live bats, but this little paper version sure is cute!

This little cutie is from Crafty Meraki and is included in the stamp set called Ghoul Friends. The sentiment is from the stamp set called Ghostly Greetings.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the following markers.

~Copics~
Bat: C6, C5, C3, C2, C1, C0, RV11, R000

I started with a 5″ square top folding card base. To that I added a black layer 4-3/4″ square, a print layer 4-1/2″ square and a striped layer 3-1/2″ square. Out of black cardstock I die cut the largest die from the My Favorite Things Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Flags Die Set. The white square measures 2-3/4″.

The black fishtail flag and the bat were attached with double sided foam tape. I added the white dots with a white gel pen.
