Hoppy Easter

Hi Friends and Happy Weekend!  I'm back with another quick share featuring the little sitting bunny I shared yesterday but today he's with his stool.

I can see this precious little one in all sorts of scenarios, not just Easter.  I was gifted the die set but I have found him on Amazon HERE.  While searching for him I also found a bunny in a swing...how cute is that?

I've kept the card Sweet and Simple using a scrap of patterned paper for him to "land" on, some pearls from Kat Scrappiness and a sentiment from Alina Crafts.

I did some shading on the bunny with alcohol markers, it helps him stand out against the white background.  That's all I have for today.  I wish you a fantastic weekend and until next time, Happy Crafting!

To Some-Bunny Special

Hi Friends!  It's Fri-YAY and I have a quick post for you today.  I'm trying to get the last of my Easter cards completed so they can be posted no later than Monday the 3rd.  Easter has crept up on me this year.

I was gifted this cute bunny die and thought I would make a few CAS designs using it.  The die set also includes a little stool for him to sit on and I have created a card with the stool that I will share next.

The frame is from Fun Stampers Journey; the package of 12 frames are foiled and come in different shapes.  The patterned paper is a snippet from my scrap container; I believe it is from an Easter themed digital paper pack.

The sentiment is from Alina Craft and the pale yellow pearls are from Kat Scrappiness.  I'm trying to master the clean and simple technique, my problem is I don't know when to stop.  All the white space begs me to add something to it.  I think I did fairly well with this one today so YAY me!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Krafty Chicks Challenge - Clean & Simple

Hello and Happy Thursday!  I'm back on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog with a new Guest Designer project.  The theme this week is Clean and Simple and I couldn't resist using this adorable image from Lee Holland Digital Designs.  It's the Bunny Holding Flower, which I turned into a big Gerber Daisy!

In keeping with the theme of this weeks' challenge, I kept lots of white space and colored the bunny with only shadow and light pink to highlight the ears, nose and tongue.  

For design interest, I've added a Gingham Ribbon and embossed the background panel with a Dandelion Seed Embossing Folder.

Please join the Krafty Chicks Challenge this week, we would love to see your CAS creations!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Friends Forever, Perfect Together

Hello and Happy Thursday!  It's April 1st and in the USA it's April Fool's Day.  I have a cute card to share today and that's no foolin'!  With Easter approaching, I wanted to share two adorable Bunnies who are Friends Forever.

I love Scene cards so I used elements from the Spellbinders "Welcome Spring" card kit and "Celebrate Spring" Stamp Set to create my little scene.  The Bunny die cuts match the patterned paper wonderfully; the paper pad included in the kit is chocked full of beautiful Spring prints and patterns.  For a finishing touch, I added pink gems from the kit.  The gems are so sparkly!

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Bunny and Friends Celebrate Spring

Hello and Happy Sunday.  The weekend is slowly coming to a close but before the night gets any later, I wanted to share a make from today's power crafting session.  This A2 card was created with die cuts, stamps, designer papers and embellishements from the Spellbinders March 2021 "Celebrate Spring" card kit.

This months' card kit was chocked full of fun things to play with:  a 6x6 paper pad, die cuts, stamp set, dies, embellishments, puffy stickers.  When using card kits, I generally create clusters with different elements.  I used a tag die set to create a panel for the focal images and a sentiment tag.  The sentiment was part of the stamp set in this months' kit.  I embossed the large tag with a dandelion embossing folder and lightly inked with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink.  

I created a scene with the bunny along with his buttterfly and songbird friends.  I mounted the focal tag and butterfly with foam pads, added some tiny gold heart embellishments and a bow made from Fun Stampers Journey Marigold Twine.  

I plan on sending this card to a swap buddy, to wish her a Happy Spring and to let her know I cherish her friendship.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Creatalicious Challenges - Anything Goes with Optional Monochrome

Hello and TGIF!  Today begins a new challenge at Creatalicious Challenges, the theme this challenge is Anything Goes with an optional Twist:  Monochrome.  We also have a great sponsor this round as well, Dr. Digi House of Stamps is our sponsor.

I had the wonderful opportunity to use one of the Cuddly Critters stamps from Dr. Digi, Rabbit for my design team project.  I created a standard A2 card using some digital papers I had in my stash and chose to use the Twist of Monochrome.

This bunny rabbit come in a pre-colored image which I used here, or a black & white line image for your coloring pleasure.  I used orange and kraft as my monochrome theme; I do hope I achieved it. 

Please join us at Creatalicious for the challenge, we would love to see your designs.  Also, please visit my new challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges where the theme this month is Anything but a Card with a Twist:  Use the color Green.  I would love to see you there.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Cardz 4 Galz - March Hares

Hello Everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and the theme for this round is March Hares.  I had the perfect image to color up for my design team challenge and it fit well with the theme.

A sweet Hare carrying his big carrot; he's definitely ready for Spring as I'm sure most everyone else is as well.

I colored him with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and die cut two mats, used some Easter paper I had in my stash along with some pink sequins for some bling.  I also added some Wink of Stella Clear to the rabbits' nose and inside of the ears; the Wink is never picked up on camera :(  This card is a standard A2 size.

We hope you will join us for the challenge at Cardz 4 Galz; we'd love to have you.  I'd also like to remind you to stop by The Paper Funday Challenges this month for a fun challenge - Anything But a Card.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
