Easter Egg with Chicks

Hello and welcome!
Since is the week before Easter, I thought
I better get my Easter cards all posted, so here I am
back again today to show you these cards.
I stamped it onto white card stock, colored them with 
colored pencils and fussy cut them.
They are both adhered to the card with action wobbles.
The above background paper is from my 
scraps stash.
Both card bases are cream colored.
For this background I thought plain purple was a bit too
plain, so I used "Tulips" and stamped all over the background
and this did the trick.
Inside was stamped a simple
Happy Easter.

So glad you stopped in again today.
Until next time,
happy crafting!

Simple Spring Card

Hello and happy Spring!
I hope you are having some nice spring weather
in your area!
Today I've got a simple spring card to show you.
I stamped 
from Biblical Impressions
twice onto white card stock 
and colored them with my 
I fussy cut one full image,
the other I cut the flowers and some of the
leaves then layered them onto the full image
with foam tape to give dimension.
You can see some of the dimension in this picture on the 
flowers and leaves.
I used scraps papers cut and layered 
onto a white card base for
the background for this simple, but lovely 
image.
I love the simplicity of this card.
Thanks for popping in today,
I hope you'll stop by again soon.
Until then
create something beautiful.

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 
and
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 
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 
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
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 
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.

Little gift bag.

My son came to me the other evening
and asked if I had a bag for a little gift for his girlfriend
or if I could "fix one up" for him.
Here's what I came up with.
I used "Tulips" (#28502) from
I used the same technique
as I did for the Mother's Day card in my last post.
I just thought they were so pretty
and he just wanted something simple, but nice.
Lauren, his girlfriend, loved it.
It was an easy way to pretty up a bag, don't you think?
 
Thanks for stopping by today, leave a comment if you will.
Come again soon.
 
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Mother's Day challenge

Mother's Day is almost here and this week's
Eureka! Stamps Challenge theme is
Mother's Day.
I chose to use 2 different images from
"Tulips" (#28502)
"Butterfly and Sunflower" (#20801)

I stamped the tulips across the bottom of a piece of white card stock
and colored them with water color crayons.
I then stamped them again on some scrap white and colored select tulips.
These tulips I fussy cut and adhered them over the tulips on the background piece with foam tape. I also cut some random tulips and added them with foam tape to give more feeling of depth.
The butterfly was colored and cut from the stamped image of
Butterfly and Sunflower as I only needed the butterfly.

Here is a close up picture that shows the layered tulips.
The blue background was created with water color crayons
and a good amount of water.
The sentiment is printed from my computer.
 
For all the details about the challenge, be sure to go to the
I hope you have been inspired in some way
and will create something for the challenge.

Scored Tulips

Hi!  Hope you are having a lovely day!
Today I have a card that I made with
"Tulips" (#31705) from Biblical Impressions.
I stamped the image onto white cardstock with Memento black ink and colored it with FlexMarkers.
I then used the "out of the box" technique to cut the image
and outlined the box with a journaling pen.
The background paper was scored using my Score Pal
and sanding with a sanding block.
The fiber was some from my stash.
This card could be used for any number of occasions or just to say hello.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have been inspired to make something pretty.
Come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
