Easter Bunnies

... Morning!! Here's another of the Easter cards that I made this weekend. This is a fun, cute card with lots of Easter bunnies and Easter eggs:

Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps - Spring Baskets, Vintage Postcards; Lawn Fawn - Easter Before 'n' Afters, Magic Spring Messages, Happy Happy Happy, Celebration Scripty Sentiments; WF - Postage Collage

Inks: Gina K - Dusty Pink; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Waffle Flower - A6 Postage Collage

Accessories: White & Kraft Card; WF - A6 Blocks Stencil; Copic Markers

I'm submitting this card to Sunday Stamps Challenge - SSC#331where they have some lovely spring colours to play with - perfect for an Easter card.

This card is a US A6 card measuring 4½" x 6¼" and using the WF A6 die, I can make a postage stamp style using their die. I'm very keen on the postage collage dies and have them in A2, A6, A7, and mini-slimline - so much fun!! Anyway, I die cut the A6 white panel and used the matching A6 blocks stencil and lightly brushed on pink ink to define the 'stamps'. I used a mix of stamps to add images and a greeting, I coloured the images with Copic markers and once all the little 'stamps' were created, I added postage elements. I layered the finished panel on kraft card and added the whole lot to the front of a side-opening A6 white note card.

 

For the inside, I cut a mat layer of kraft card. On the white panel, I stamped a greeting mixing stamps from two sets, added another cute bunny, coloured with Copic markers and added to the card.

This card was going to be for our daughter, Kat and her partner, Kobie. However, I've been asked for separate cards!! Not that it will be a hardship as making cards is jus so much fun. That's all for now - I'm off to make some more cards and listen to my new Audible book. See you soon.

SHC - Easter Bunnies ....

.... Morning! We've had a super weekend here in Northop Hall - it was sunny with bright blue skies, and warm over the weekend. A bit cooler since then. Mum has been in the garden putting in plants and I've been playing in my craft room - we've both been in our happy place!! Anyway, I'm here with my regular weekly post for Seven Hills Crafts. I've been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and this first card is way out there:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Easter Before 'n' Afters, Celebration Scripty Sentiments, Blue Skies

Inks: Gina K - Key Lime, Jelly Bean Green, Grass Green; Distress - Tumbled Glass, Broken China; Versafine - Onyx Black; Kaleidacolor - Spectrum

Dies: Lawn Fawn - Easter Before 'n' Afters; Concord & 9th - Confetti Card Dies

Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Lawn Fawn Stencil - Grassy Hillsides; Clear Embossing Powder; Nuvo - Clear Aquashimmer Brush

I'm submitting this card to Never-Before-Used-Schtuff - NBUS#24 - all new to me!!

I started with a top folding A2 white card and created the background using the grassy hillside stencils. I used several shades of green for the grass and two shades of blue for the sky. I then stamped various images on white card, coloured them with Copics, restamped with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with clear powder. I stamped the greeting in on of the large white clouds. I used matching dies to cut out the bunnies, basket and eggs, I fussy cut the clouds. Next, I adhered two of the clouds to the right hand side of the card and used the large scalloped edged rectangle die from Confetti cards to cut out my card. I then adhered the elements to the front of the card. I used dimensional pads for the Easter basket and the red egg. On the inside, I cut a piece of white card and stamped a greeting and added a few more of the Easter elements.

My next card is more my usual style - tending towards clean and simple:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Easter Before 'n' Afters, Celebration Scripty Sentiments, Simply Celebrate Spring

Inks: Gina K - Soft Stone; Versafine - Onyx Black

Dies: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Spring

Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Clear Embossing Powder; Nuvo - Clear Aquashimmer Brush

I'm submitting this card to Fusion - FUSION#0421 where I've taken the rainbow dress as my inspiration.

I stamped the row of eggs on white card, coloured them with Copic markers, restamped with black Versafine, heat embossed with clear powder and cut them out with the matching die. I worked out where I wanted the coloured eggs to be on the card and then stamped lots of eggs in soft grey ink all over the front. I used dimensional pads to add the coloured eggs. I added lots of sparkle to the eggs with a clear aquashimmer brush. I finished the front by adding a bold scripty Easter greeting. On the inside I've kept things really simple with no message, but I did add a cute bunny.

I had a few bunnies left over from my first card, so I made a final Easter card - this one is very clean and simple:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Easter Before 'n' Afters, Celebration Scripty Sentiments, Simply Celebrate

Inks: Gina K - Sweet Mango; Versafine - Onyx Black; Versmark

Dies: Lawn Fawn - Easter Before 'n' Afters

Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Clear and White Embossing Powder; Gina K Card - Sweet Mango; Nuvo - Clear Aquashimmer Brush

I cut a strip of black card an inch wide and stamped the scripty Easter greeting in Versamark and heat embossed it with white powder. I layered this piece on peach card and adhered the panel to the front of a top folding A2 card. I finished the front with the cute bunny holding the peach Easter egg - I've added sparkle, but you can't see it in the photo above. On the inside, I cut a mat layer of peach card and on the white card I stamped a greeting and added the Easter basket.

I had lots of fun making the first card - it is very much out of my comfort zone, but I did a few like that this weekend. I might not do it again for a while. That's all from me for today. See you soon.
