Beautiful Day

Just got this new rubber this past week and when I saw the bunny I knew exactly what I was going to do, he so reminds me of the muslin bunnies that were so popular a few (well okay several) years back. I can't tell you how many of those cute little bunnies I made plus the clothes to go with. In fact I still have a mom and her 2 children (boy and girl) in my granddaughters guest room. I think I should have gone one shade lighter with the coloring but it turned out ok. I used X-Press CS (we got samples at the copics class) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it - colors blend so smoothly. Used some nesties dies some "stashed" SEI (TAC used to carry this many years ago), brown and pink scrappers floss and then I thought oh my he needs something else, so I tried a flower, placed different words, some bling and finally I remember the Gem collection TAC carries and the heart worked just perfectly. Used a corner chomper on the corners and some black Tim Holtz accent on his eyes. Cute!!!

Cupcake Birgitta

I had 2 birthday cards to make this week and having just received Swiss Pixies Cupcake Birgitta from All that Scraps I decided to use this oh so cute image. I colored this darling with my copic markers glittered her wings and made 2 different designs . Images are cut with Nesties (love to have their legs out of the box), on the green card I used a new saying from TAC that was just perfect for this card - and for the little girl in blue I had some cupcake brads and I used bakers twine with the cupcake brad. I added a bit of glossy accents on the cherry on top. I slipped a gift card from a new downtown cupcake/dessert shop (has yummy pasteries) in the card so hopefully the girls will be happy with both their cards and their gift cards.

Beautiful Day

I am so "impressed" with this tulip Impressabilities that I just received from TAC - using my "new" Grand Caliber machine (which so far I am really enjoying), I love the impression I got!!! I was never quite able to get the impression I wanted just using my cuttlebug - now don't get me wrong I love my little bug too but...move over little one. I used a new stamp set that I just cut called Beautiful Day again from TAC it is a new set which is part of their Spring Fling collection - (if you would like to add this to your stamp collection please email me). I colored my image with copics, cut with labels 11 and mounted on an oval nestie which I cut from Miss Moxie DP. The saying is also from the same set. A bit of bling and with the nice impression that is all I needed to make this card complete. I'm off to color another image from the same set so keep checking back to see my next post.

Doodle Pantry Froggie

Over at the Doodle Pantry there is a challenge to use any of their digital images - well I choose a FREEBIE called Pre-colored froggie - yes I said pre-colored - what a fun fast easy card this was. I added some wispy clouds in the sky - fussy cut the lilys and popped them up to give some dimension, cut out with an oval nestie and mounted on a fancy oval nestie. I used TAC paper - called Hip Hop the sentiment is also TAC and I found some little froggie eyelets which I put in each corner. fun is this???

Easter Basket Hop

There is an Easter Basket Hop this weekend over at The Angel Company . I just got my first Big Spellbinders dies and a Grand Caliber so this is my first project using the big dies. I have the scallop circles and I cut my basket using pink cs, I colored my image from I Love Easter with water color crayons. I was cleaning out some "stuff" and ran across some water color paper so I stamped my image on the watercolor paper. It has been a long time since I used the water color crayons and I forgot how much fun coloring with them was. I mounted my colored image on a scallop fancy circle cut from More Mimi paper. On the handle I tied a bow (the ribbon is from a gift my friend Pat gave me this week), it went perfect with the More Mimi. I used an oval pink gem from the Pink Gem collection D310 - they reminded me of Easter eggs. I put three chocolate bunnies in the basket and I think it turned out pretty cute. Fun project for my new big dies.

Hedgehog Happiness Easter

This is another Easter Card I came up with using Hedgehog Happiness (what a fun versatile set). I stamped the focal image and then masked the wagon to put the bunnies in the wagon. I colored with copic markers, (I tried to do some flicking for her fur). I added a bit of bling on the wheels, some glitter (just a bit) to the grass in the wagon then cut it out with a nesties labels 17 (which I love). I used Pop Rockz DP for my papers as it just had the right colors to go with my coloring. I used a grass punch to do the grass then I slipped it into the bottom of the nestie to cut the rounded shape. I don't remember where I got the Happy Easter brads but I thought they were cute for this project. Hope you enjoy. Why not hop on over to The Angel Company and check out some other creations.

Hippity Hoppity

Well it is Finally Friday and over at The Angel Company there is The Joy of Easter - you will be pleasantly surprised at the creations Angela Kelley has made - (might have to case them myself). I made an Easter card with a "retired" TAC set called Hippity Hoppity - which I had in my "for sale" box and dug out when this hop came up. I have been digging several of those stamps sets out of my for sale box recently. I had to make a larger card to get all my images on, I used Tutti Fruitti DP as my bg papers as it had all bright Easter colors there. I used copics to color my images and nesties label 4 to cut them out. Popped the images up with pop dots, a bit of pink ribbon with cute Easter eggs tied , the ribbon could have been a bit brighter but I loved the Easter eggs. Go visit the Savvy Projects and have fun looking at all the creations.
