Easter Favors

Hi blog friends!

I know I'm late with an Easter post, but I wanted to share 

with you the favors I made for my Easter guests.

As usual, I decided pretty last minute that I would 

make something for each place setting.

I don't know why I do this, I know I like to have something

for my guests, but always decide to make it at the last minute.

A couple days before Easter I picked up some things for 

the favors and the day before I decided that I would make

little tags to go on the bags.

I did a few different designs, all stamps from my stash

from when I was on a few design teams.

I've been playing with ink lately and making

background sheets to use when I need them.

This was what was left after I made the tags.

I used alcohol inks on some glossy paper

and I love the results.

Each goodie bag had a little package of 

chocolate chip cookies, some orange chocolate

sponge candy, and a few Reese's cups and Cadbury mini eggs.

Here they are all ready to go on the table.

This one is made with 

Daydreaming Bunny

This one is 

Happy Duckling

This one is

Bunny with Flowers

There were 3 of the guys that love hot sauce

and since we had ham and they love it on ham,

I thought it would be the perfect little favor for them.

All the images were stamped with VersaFine, Onyx Black ink

colored with colored pencils, fussy cut, then adhered to the back

ground piece.

The sentiment is from a set that I got on clearance, 

because it had no outer wrapping, so I have no idea what

company it is from.

This is what each place setting looked like.

We had a wonderful Easter and I hope you did too.

Like I said, I know it's late for an Easter post,

but this kind of favor can be done for any 

dinner or event, it can be pulled together 

very quickly.

You don't have to stamp, color and fussy cut

everything.  You can just as easily, stamp a sentiment,

trim it down and put it on a little goodie bag, candy bar

or whatever you like.

I love doing this for my guests.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you'll pop in again soon.

Until then,

create something beautiful.

Somebunny Loves You

Easter is on it's way!

Hi all!

Do you make and send Easter cards?

I haven't really in the past, but this year I'm

trying to send out more cards and thought

Easter cards were in order.

Here are a few that I made that are similar.

This one is a shaker card and I think it turned out cute.

This is "Daydreaming Bunny" from 

QKR Stampede.

Another shaker card with the same bunny.

The grass under him is
"Field Grass Right"  from 

Biblical Impressions

For this card, I used Distress Inks to make the 

background inside that oval cut out.

I have stamped
Somebunny Loves You

 from QKR Stampede inside these cards.

And last, I made this card.

The sky and ground were sponged with 

Distress Inks

and I used the Field Grass stamp again to 

stamp the grass, also with Distress Inks.

The bunnies were all stamped

with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, 

colored with colored pencils and fussy cut.

The sentiments were also stamped with 

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

I hope you enjoy my cards and will 

think about making some yourself.

Come again soon and see some

more of the Easter cards I have ready to 

send to some family and friends.

Until next time:

Get Creative!

Somebunny Loves You

Happy Easter!

I wanted to make a cute card for my Mom

for Easter and here is what I came up with.

I used some of my deli paper and alcohol ink

background paper for the base panel.

I stamped and colored 

Daydreaming Bunny

and

Tulips

with colored pencils, 

fussy cut them and adhered the 

bunny directly to the background panel

with ATG tape.

I added the tulips with 

foam tape.

The sentiment is 

Some Bunny

and is stamped with

Onyx Black Versa Fine Ink.

I'm sure my Mom loves her card.

I hope you have a beautiful and blessed

Easter.

Thanks for stopping by today,

see you again soon.

Easter Challenge

Hello stampers!

It's Monday, so that means it's time for another challenge from 

The Eureka! Stamps Blog

This weeks theme is

"Easter"

I have used

"Tulips" (# 28502) from Eureka! Stamps

"Daydreaming Bunny" (#15209) from QKR Stampede

sister company of  Eureka! Stamps

I started by stamping "Tulips" several times onto white card stock.

I colored the images with colored pencils and Gamsol.

The Bunny was done in the same way.

I then fussy cut all the tulips and the bunny.

For the background, I used a cloud template and Distress Inks.

You can find the cloud template and instructions on my friend Roxie's blog

Paper Scaper

I also inked the bottom of the background with green Distress Inks.

Once I had the background panel done, I started adding tulips in the

back most part of the scene.  These I adhered directly to the background panel.

I then added the bunny with foam tape.

The front row of tulips were then added with double layers of foam tape.

This picture shows the different layers

on the card.

I love how this card turned out.

I hope you'll hop over to the 

Eureka! Stamps Blog 

and see all the particulars of the challenge.

You'll also find links to other inspiration pieces from the design team.

Join in the fun and you may just be a lucky winner of some 

Eureka! Stamps digital stamps.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

QKR April Bunny Hop

Hoppy Day to you all!

Welcome to the April "Bunny Hop" for QKR Stampede!

If you have just happened onto the hop, you will want to go to the beginning as you won't want to miss any of the "Bunny Hop" projects.

If you have come from Jessica's blog, you are right on track. She is so talented, isn't she?!?!

As I'm sure you can tell, this months theme is bunnies.

QKR Stampede has a lot of bunny stamps to choose from and I chose

"Daydreaming Bunny" (#15209) for my project today.

I also used "Some Bunny" (#10603) for this card.

I think this "Daydreaming Bunny" is the cutest guy!

I stamped him onto water color paper and used some water color crayons to color him.  Just a little bit of gray and pink did the trick. 

The flowers were made by punching some paper flowers and layering them then using a bit of stickles in the centers.

Inside I used the "Some Bunny" sentiment stamp.

Now you can hop on over to see what

Kristine

has to show you at her blog. 

I'm sure it will be something wonderful!

Now hop to it!

Once you have finished the "Bunny Hop" why not hop on over to the

QKR Stampede shop and see all the adorable bunny stamps they have to offer.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you'll hop in again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Easter Treats

On Saturday evening I decided that I needed to make little treats for those having Easter dinner at our home.

I don't know why I do that, wait until the last minute like that, but I do it often.  When I say I decided Saturday evening, I mean pretty late.

I started making these at about 11:30.

I'm a night owl anyway, so it was okay and I was happy with how they turned out. 

If I had more time, I probably would have done a bit more with them, but none the less, I thought they turned our cute.

I used 2 stamps from QKR Stampede,

Daydreaming Bunny (#15209) and Some Bunny (#10603)

I stamped "Daydreaming Bunny" onto white card stock and colored them with my new set of Letraset FlexMarkers.

These markers are alcohol markers and I won a complete set of 90 from my cyber friend Enfys' blog Going Buggy.

Thanks to Enfys and Letraset for this wonderful prize!

I had so much fun coloring them in all different colors.

Of course there aren't really pink or blue bunnies, but I wanted to try out as many colors as I could of my new markers. 

And boy did I love playing with them! 

I can tell already that I'm going to be using them a lot.

 On the back of each bag topper I stamped the "Some Bunny" sentiment. 

Then stapled them to the little bags full of Easter goodies.

The treat bags were placed on each plate at the dinner table.

Everyone seemed to like their little treats and I had a lot of fun making them.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Leave a comment if you like and come again soon.  I always like visitors to my blog.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
