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.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Hero Arts Citrus Cards

Today I had fun playing with the Hero Arts Fresh Citrus Bold Prints background stamp and the Hero Arts Zest Wishes Stamp Set to create these fun and fresh set of cards. I started by creating the backgrounds.  I used white cardstock and stamped it with the background stamp using VersaMark Ink.  I heat embossed the panels with white embossing powder.  Then, I used a foam blending tool and blended Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to ink the card panels.  For some panels, I used only one ink and other panels I used a combination of all the inks.  I cut the inked backgrounds down to 4" x 5.25" and matte each panel on a black card base.   For one card, I used the excess strips from when I cut down the inked panels, and adhered these strips to a black card panel, leaving a little of the black background showing in between each of the strips. I stamped all the citrus fruits, leaves, flowers, and branches on w...

College Life

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 5.  I decided to focus the layout on my daughter's college move-in day.  The Scraptember challenge for this layout was to use a themed collection for a non-themed layout.  I used the B-sides of the papers from the Echo Park A Boy's Life collection.  I started by printing three 4x4 photos and backed these in gray cardstock.  I cut an 8x10 piece of blue and white striped paper, inked the edges with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink, and backed it in navy blue cardstock.  The large banner piece measured 3.5x11.  I inked the edges of this strip and backed it in gray cardstock.  The smaller plaid horizontal strip measured 2x11.  I ripped both of the shorter edges of this strip, inked the edges, and backed it with navy blue cardstock.  All these items were layered on top of creme grid paper which was also inked with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink.
