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.

Lost in the Inky Darkness

Today's card features a few of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix and Ranger Halloween products.  I could not wait to use the Tim Holtz Skulls 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder and combine it with Distress inks and spray stains. I started by inking the flat side of the embossing folder with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink.  I sprayed a panel of water color paper with water and carefully placed this paper into the embossing folder. I ran the embossing folder through my Sizzix Big Shot 3 times. I took the embossed panel out of the embossing folder and cleaned the embossing folder with StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Next, I sprayed the panel with Tim Holtz Decayed Distress Mica Stain.  This gave it a green tinge with a hint of sparkle.  I decided to seal the card panel by dipping a foam blending pad into Distress Micro Glaze and dabbing this onto the card panel.  I glued a black cardstock matte behind the embossed panel and adhered it to a white card base. For the sentiment, I used the &qu

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 embossed panel and adhered it at an an

First Day of School

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 3.  I decided to focus the layout on a photo of this year's first day of school. The layout has several sketched circles.  I decided to break out the sewing machine and sew a few black circles using a variety of stitches.   The Scraptember challenge combined with this sketch was layering. So I grabbed the Simple Stories Smarty Pants collection and layered up a bunch of the branding strips and the patterned papers found on the journaling cards. I used the letter stickers from the collection to create the title.  I also used some of the stickers to embellish the title and photo, and also to create an embellishment cluster in the upper right corner of the layout.  To finish off the layout, I splattered it with black ink. I love the 30 Days of Sketches because it is a great way to use up older collections and challenges me to utilize techniques that I don't often use in my layouts. First Da
