Chocolate Bunny

This will be my last Easter card~~I am pretty sure!  Once again, I used the stickers that were included in Echo Park with Laurie Whitlock's Celebrate Easter collection.  The pattern paper is from Lawn Fawn.  The retired border punch from Stampin' Up is one of those worthwhile punches that I got my money's worth out of!  And to speak of Stampin' Up, this punch has to be 7 years old or more.  Stampin' Up does have quality products.  Have a great day and enjoy the weekend!

Easter Collage

While looking around the Internet, I found a blog by Kristie Marcotte and she has videos in which she gives measurements and shows how to make a variety of cards from one pack of pattern paper.  Today's card came from a video in which she used a pack of Easter paper from Doodlebugs.  I watched it and received many card layout ideas.  Today's card is similar to one of Kristie's cards, except for the fact that I used my Echo Park Easter Celebration pack and my 1-1/4 square punch rather than the cover all frame from My Favorite Things.  I think the layout is very cute.  After  lining up the squares, I might just break down and purchase the $30 die!  Cut the frame and fill it in with the squares~~much easier and quicker.  The sentiment is from Sunny Studio Stamps.  Very adorable, if I say so myself!  Have a great day!

Happy Spring!

We had wonderful weekend weather.  With the sunshine and warmer temps, I ran downstairs and made today's quick card!  I used Echo Park with Lori Whitlock's Celebrate Easter paper collection to do so.  Even the flower image on the white background is from that collection.  It is a sticker! The pretty pink card base is Pixie Pink~~a very old color from Stampin' Up!  Have a great day!

Egg Hunt

Isn't the bunny so cute?  This is another mini slimline card I made, this time using LDRS Creative's Hoppy Egg Hunt stamp set and coordinating dies.  The pattern paper is from Echo Park and Lori Whitlock.  For the scalloped squares I used Stampin' Up's layered squares dies.  This stamp set has a number of really cute images and sentiments.  Between the sunshine, warmer temperatures for this time of the year and the days being longer, this is just another little bit of happiness to add to that of the last few days!  Enjoy and have a great day!

Yellow Lily

 Hope everyone had a chance to get out this weekend to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.  I certainly did.  The lily and the sentiment on today’s are from LDRS Creative’s  Lily 4x6 Stamps set.  And, the card was copied from their website, too!  The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed using white embossing powder.   After stamping and coloring the lily, it was cut out on my Scan n Cut.  After making this card, I decided to look at photos of lilies.  There are many beautiful lily variations.  Next lily card I make will not be yellow!  Have a great day!

Softly Sponged

Today's card is simple yet pretty.  For the background layer, I sponged Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks on a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of white cardstock.  I then cut out the center.  I layered that sponged piece which I cut out onto a larger piece of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment.  Before adhering that center piece, I added leaves I die cut using My Favorite Things' die, Fab Foliage.  The sequins complete the card.  Have a great day!
