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 NEW Cheerful Floral Collection Card…

Hello Friday!  Here lately you don’t have to worry about me filling up your email inbox!   I do have NEW to show you though!

A beautiful collection that I really enjoyed working with…NEW from Memory Box.  You knew already, right?! lol

You can stamp your image and then die cut or die cut then stamp on the die cut.

I cut the shape first then stamped on it in the MISTI.

Then the fun begins!  There is a stencil set to use for coloring!!!!!  For the pinks I used Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry Oxide Inks, then an old Versacolor pigment cube for the darkest… Rose Red #23.

Greens were a trio of Bazzill Dye inks but I had a new set of Altenew I could’ve used laying right there on my desk! ugh.  I will link to them.

The light blue was Speckled Egg, Savage Patina and the brush for Peacock Feathers without inking it. All oxides.

For the yellow flower I used Antique Linen, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber oxide and the brown oxide brush for the center without reinking it.

I am really happy with how it turned out…you know how it is…at several points during the process I was thinking this is not going to work! lol

So after I finished stenciling it I put it in the NEW 3D Cheerful Floral 3D embossing folder!  oh wow!  That just added so much!   I taped it in place in the folder.  It shifted a little so next time I’m thinking maybe just go half way, stop and run it through from the opposite end half way.

I used the Memory Box Rectangle Double Border Hot Foil Plate for the base panel…started with 4 ½ in x 6 ¼ in panel but ended up trimming the top and bottom.  It will still fit in an A6 envelope.

I think it’s nice to have a bigger than A2 size for super special cards sometimes!  Let’s go Hallmark! lol

I used some ribbon from Stampin Up from who knows how many years ago and the sentiment from Birch Press Design Celebrate Today Noted Script hot foil plate and die set in gold foil.

I mounted the floral piece with some of the thin mounting tape I love!  then the ribbon, then the sentiment mounted with the same thin mounting tape.  It should still travel for one stamp!

Holler if you have any questions!  I’m going to link up what I used below.  If you’re tempted to get this collection, I say go for it!  You’ll have fun and end up with beautiful cards without all the time coloring!  Win! Win!

poppystamps Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts Slimline Card…

Hello everyone! How is it February already!  This month is going to fly by too! Our family is in the midst of preparing for a wedding!  One of our grandsons is getting married!  It’s pretty exciting but shopping for a dress and shoes…eek…time consuming!  I haven’t dreamed up a card for them yet! lol

I decided to play around with this new die set a couple weeks ago and had this idea but it ended up too large to be symmetrical so I tried it as a vertical slimline and didn’t like it at all until I turned it horizontal!  whew! lol

Are you enjoying the NEW Nordic line from poppystamps the last couple releases?  There’s a ton of designs!

I used the Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts here.  The smallest of the hearts.

I needed a sentiment so I went digging and found this Love Jotted Script from Memory Box and went with it.

I used some pink and green cardstocks from my ancient stash! lol

The white background panel is from a Hobby Lobby watercolor pad.

I’m linking to some card challenge blogs…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Love is in the air

Double D Challenges – Heartfelt

The Flower Challenge #88 – Add a Heart

Triple B February Challenge – use 1, 2 or 3 of the B’s … Birds, Butterflies, Blooms.

Love is in the air a long with warmer temperatures here in Iowa.  We still have a few piles of snow working on melting…it was piled so high!

Thank you so much for stopping by and wish me well on dress and shoe shopping!  If you have any favorite places to shop, let me know!  I’m bad for being a last minute looloo!  waaaahhhh

Memory Box Card…Graceful Anemone Thank You

Hi everyone! A festive floral thank you that takes us right from Christmas to Valentines!  The NEW Anemone Collection from Memory Box is so pretty!  I’m not sure I’m doing it justice!

I wanted to try Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth this time.  I added a little Copic R46 on the petals in the cut lines.

I embossed the NEW Anemone Bunches 3D Embossing Folder on a panel of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.

Then I trimmed it down and inked the edge with a TE blending brush and Distress Oxide Rustic Wilderness ink.

For the leaves of the Anemone I used Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.

I die cut the NEW Thank You Debut Script die in vellum and mirror gold cardstock.

Adhered the panel to an A2 Neenah Classic Crest cardbase.

It’s a dreary, melty day here but for some reason that works better for me for photos!  Lots of snow still to melt…so far none has seeped into the basement!  eek!

Hope this finds you well and enjoying January!  Wow!  It’s gone by fast!  Holler if you have any questions!

Thank you for stopping by!
