Hopping into Easter

Now that Valentine’s Day is behind us, it’s time to turn our attention to other things. Although I do have a St. Patrick’s Day card planned, with Easter falling so early this year, I thought I’d begin posting my Easter selections. This adorable bunny is the Bunny & Carrot Fold-It card from The Stamps of Life. The fold is hidden behind his ear, allowing him to stand up. I used paper from my stash to piece him together.

Shake things up!

 I love to make shaker cards and I've had the idea for this one for a long time. The Lawn Fawn bunnies and eggs on the front were stamped and embossed in Ranger Fine Detail white embossing powder and then I ink blended over them. The large egg cut out is from Lawn Fawn's Outside In Easter Egg Stackables. On the inside, I stamped and white embossed again this time using the Simon Says Stamp Doodle Egg Background stamp. Then I used Altenew foam tape to put it all together and decorated the front with some Gina K. sequins. The shaker fill is Brutus Monroe's Spring sequin mix. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire to mix it up and use products from different companies together. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Happy Easter to all who celebrate and for those that don't I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Congratulations Grandmother!

 A dear friend of mine welcomed a new granddaughter a few days ago and I made her this card to celebrate. The baby girl paper is from my stash, the letters were cut using Lawn Fawn's Henry's ABCs, the vellum heart was cut with Newton's Nook Heart Frames, and the bunnies are from Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead collection. They were colored with Copic markers. I hope she likes it!

Hoppy Easter!

 This card is for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. The theme is Easter/Spring, and this card is one of my favorites so far. I love tone on tone designs, and so I fell in love with the bunny paper from Doodlebug Designs. I paired it with some aqua cardstock and cut both backgrounds and the banner using the Newton's Nook Frames and Flags set. I stamped out the Lawn Fawn bunnies and colored them in various shades of brown using Copic markers, and then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment using Lawn Fawn's Peacock ink. I popped the bunnies and sentiment up on some thin foam squares.

Hoppy Days Ahead

 More bunnies from the Hoppy Days Ahead set by Simon Says Stamp. I used the papers from the March 2022 Card Kit of the Month, which is also where the stamps came from. The bunnies, flowers, and sentiment are all in the set. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and colored them with Copic markers. The background dies are from Newton's Nook Slimline Frames and Windows set. I popped the bunnies, flowers, and sentiment  up on some foam squares to give the card some dimension.

Bunny Hugs

 This card was sent to my oldest daughter in South Carolina. I told her to share the hugs with my granddaughter. The images are from the Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead set and were colored with Copic markers and cut out with the corresponding dies. The grayish paper is also from Simon Says Stamp, while the card base was inked with Hero Arts Field Green and a blending brush.
