Easter Blessings

Here is an adorable Easter card I made for family and friends.  It features a variety of die cuts and a cute stamped bunny image.  

I started by stamping the bunny image from the Hello Bluebird Meadow Bunnies stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  I cut out the image using my Brother Scan N Cut.  I colored the image with alcohol markers and added some highlights with a white gel pen.


I used the Spellbinders Oval Shadowbox Frame set to cut an oval from light blue and green cardstock.  I cut the bottom of the green cardstock oval and adhered it to the bottom of the light blue oval to make it look like grass and sky.  I created the oval frame by using the intricate oval die from the same die set to cut the frame out of an A2-sized pink cardstock panel.  I adhered this panel to a white card base.  I glued the light blue oval to the center of the oval frame.

I used the Sizzix Rain Boot Planter Die set to cut the adorable rain boot and flowers out of a variety of cardstock colors.  I glued the boot onto the light blue oval near the top of the green cardstock.  I arranged the foliage and flowers coming out from the top of the boot.  I added tiny rhinestones to the center of each flower.  The dragonfly was cut using my Cricut machine.  I used a pink alcohol marker to add some detail to the dragonfly's wings.


I glued the bunny image in front of the boot and added a small "Happy Easter" sentiment underneath the boot.


On the inside of the card, I cut a pink oval using the Spellbinders Fancy Edged Oval die set.  I stamped the Sentiment "Blessings for Your Easter" and fussy cut around the sentiment.  I glued the sentiment to the upper area of the oval leaving room for me to write a message near the bottom of the oval. I arranged some foliage coming out from the upper and lower corners of the oval and added a dragonfly in the upper right corner of the card.


I have been waiting to use this stamp set since last Spring and loved pairing it with my stash of die cuts to create this cute Easter card.

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this emboss...

#HAILTHESAIL

Today's layout was inspired by Day 1of @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Series 8.  Today's triangular sketch was created by Laura Whitaker.  The Scraptember challenge for this sketch was stitching.   As soon as I saw the triangle on this layout, I knew I wanted to use a sailboat to document my daughter's new student orientation day at her college by the sea.  I used my Cricut machine to cut a large sailboat out of a piece of blue whitewashed cardstock.  After losing a time-consuming battle with my sewing machine, I was able to get some blue stitches around the edges of the sailboat.  I glued the sailboat to the blue star paper from Vicki Boutin's Color Study collection.   I used the blue and white striped paper from the Color Study collection to create the large banner.  I inked the edges of the banner with Black Soot Distress ink.  I matte the banner with a small strip of the black script paper from the 6x8 paper p...

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water.  I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel.  I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock.  I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock.  I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel.  I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the...
