Simon Says Stamp Favorite Things Release…

Hi everyone!  Simon Says Stamp sent me this delightful stamp set to play with for this release!  It’s a big set… 6 x 8!  So I set to work!

Using the Tim Holtz Framed Tags set I die cut tags in kraft and white cardstocks.

I made a little box to hold something a treat or in this case a little box of washi tape postage stickers.  I scored two tags two inches from the bottom, folded and taped together to make this little tent box.

I stamped the bunny in PottingSoil Archival ink, then colored it in with color pencils.

I stamped the Happy Easter in white pigment ink and then pink distress oxide over the top.  I used a couple pinks.  It’s so great you can stamp over the top if you’re not happy when you use the MISTI.

OH, and I got out the old eyelet stash! Some cord tied the two tags together and it was finished!  I love it! haha

Then I made more tags….

I know the bunnies look black but it’s still the Potting Soil (brown) ink pad.

I stamped the small tag with flowers in white and then color penciled over the top.

I stamped some of the foliage stamps around the images on the tags and the box tent.  The grass on the big tag is drawn on with a color pencil.

I love how they turned out!

ok – for some white tags…

Same stamp set!  I stamped the eggs, leaves and Spring Blessings sentiment in Distress Oxide inks. Greetings and the floral images in Versafine Black ink.  Then ink blended over the florals on the medium size tag.  Be sure you let the black ink dry!  I had a little smearing.

Then I tied them together!  Fun!

Holler if you have any questions and enjoy shopping the release!  I’ll put links below and I’ll thank you now for clicking from my blog if you do!  I appreciate it!

Birch Press Design Floral Cross Happy Easter Card…

Hi everyone! A lovely NEW Floral Cross Layer set from Birch Press Design on my mini slimline card today.

I’m so glad to have this set to make a cross card…especially fitting for Easter.

Some green cardstocks, kraft and gold metallic cardstocks for die cutting…no stamps used for this card.

Die cut and glue them up!

 

I love this size of card…my pictures don’t do it justice.  The gold Happy Easter is so pretty too! I used the new Memory Box Happy Easter Curled Script die.

The florals and greens come in the dies in each of the layer dies.

HERE  is the Birch Press Design idea book for this release… I love Dave’s cross card in it!

Memory Box Hippity Hoppity Bunny Card (Masterpiece)!

Hi everyone! Cute card warning and yes I’m calling it a masterpiece because I hung all the eggs in the trees!  A work of heart/art! lol

I had fun but I could’ve made another card in the time it took… this might stay at my house on the mantel! lol

This is such a neat, whimsical rabbit!  He’d be cute dancing around in a carrot garden too!

I cut two rows of MB Prairie Grass, mounted the top row with the thin mounting tape I love…

Die cut the New Berry Branches and Leaves and made them trees.  I used the eggs from the NEW Hippity Hoppity Bunny die and colored them with Copics!  I added the lines to the basket in pencil with a ruler and then went over them with a stylus.

I took the straight sentiments from the NEW poppystamps Spring Banners stamp set and mounted them in the MISTI to stamp on the curve with Distress Archival Peeled Paint ink pad.

I’ll link everything below…

I used the Happy Easter and the included die from the same sentiment set and mounted it with the thin mounting tape also.

A little Copic and color pencil to enhance the bunny/whiskars and oh Gathered Twigs and the mini ink blending tool for the white parts of his body.

I have some more Easter dies to get made up so I’ll be back soon I hope!  I can’t take as long on the next cards! lol

Have a great week everybody!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

NEW dies! Memory Box Clara Blooms, Sitting Sparrow and Happy Easter Dover Script…

Hello!  Welcome to a blog post with Spring vibes again!  How in the world did it get to be March already!  I feel like I’ll be forever trying to catch up this year.  It’s ‘after wedding’ time for our family and adjusting to the anti climatic period! lol  So here’s a card for Easter!

I fell in love with this new Clara Blooms die…I used two pinks and mint green to die cut.  So sweet!  I also used the darker pink to die cut the top layer of the new Happy Easter Dover Script and a dark teal to cut the underneath layer…both the same size, I just offset them a little for a shadow effect.

I die cut the new Sitting Sparrow in some old Bazzill brown cardstocks and the Woodgrain Bird House in one of the reds from the new Blush 6×6 cardstock pad.  Gorgeous colors!

Can you guess where I got the inspiration for the background on this card? Let me know in the comments! hehe

I die cut the oval with the Studio Oval Layers and inked the edges a bit with Distress Evergreen Bough and the mini ink blending tool.

No stamping on this card!

I hope you love this as much as I do… the bird is so neat and easy to put together too!  As well as the birdhouse and the flowers!

Change the sentiment for any occasion!  yay!  This is an A2 size card…

Memory Box and poppystamp Cards…

Happy Spring to you today! I’m not sure who all has tulips yet but when you do, you know it’s Spring!

I started out with the NEW poppystamps Layered Tulips die set.  I cut the petal piece in three pinks and instead of using all three colors on one flower, I went with three different color tulips.  I’m glad I did this time!

I went over my options of what to do with them after I made them and thought…they’d be great in a basket!

I love this basket from the poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set.  I die cut it in kraft cardstock, then ran it back through with the embossing stack for the big shot.  I shim it quite a bit to get the embossing deep.

Then using the mini ink blending tool and Gathered Twigs Distress ink pad I browned it up!

I used the grass and the bow from the basket set also.

It’s an A2 size card!

My next two cards are using the NEW Memory Box Floral Stems die.

I die cut the floral stems from Memory Box watercolor cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Brush markers and water.

I die cut an A2 panel of kraft cardstock with the NEW Memory Box Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set, then die cut the NEW poppystamps Pointy Lattice Plate in white cardstock and layered it over the top.  Trimmed off the excess.

I made an A2 size white cardbase and adhered the lattice panel direct to the cardfront.  The outside part of the panel is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love so much.

I wrapped some twine and then the NEW Memory Box Posh Birthday Wishes Hot Foil Plate and Cutting die set for the sentiment.

As soon as I finished this, I thought, this could be a great Easter card!  I didn’t get any Easter cards made.  Maybe I’ll have time to make something for the grands tomorrow.

I added some gold fairy gems in a few places on the lattice.

I always love the ‘window’ look on a card!  I always notice windows on houses too! lol  Right now mine are dirty!  We had one storm that blew snow so bad and it was dirty!  I was sad because it’d only been a month since I’d washed windows! Figures!

My last card…clean and simple.  I wasn’t sure I should even post it but it is nice IRL.

This looks champagne color but it’s really silver.  My last picture will show it silver but it’s not the best photo!

The NEW Memory Box Confetti Dot Hot Foil Plate turned out really neat!  I was pleased.  Finally getting better at doing the large foil plates.  I was afraid to shim it but that’s what it needs for the machine I have.

I die cut the foiled panel with the NEW Memory Box A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set and layered that with the thin mounting tape on my A2 size white cardbase.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Happy Birthday Tender Script die in white and silver foil cardstocks…so fun!

ok this last picture shows it silver….get your sunglasses!

It doesn’t do it justice but at least you can see it’s silver!  The struggle is real taking photos!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!  I appreciate it and thank you so much for your kind comments!

Have a blessed Easter weekend and talk to you again soon!
