Hoppy Easter Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

  

HOPPY Easter!

Today we are sharing a bunny filled Easter card by Tatiana that will leave you ready to hop into spring crafting!

For this card, Tatiana started by stamping and coloring the fun big circle image filled with Easter goodies from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set. She used fun bright spring colors on all those little images, adding fun white gel pen accents too. She cut the image out using the Circle Frames Die Set to add it to her card. 

For the card base she created a fun bunny background using our Bunny Tails Stencil Set. This fun stencil has two pieces, one for the bunny silhouettes and one for the tails. She used the bunny silhouette stencil with several fun colors to create colorful rows of bunnies. Then she used the second stencil with white texture paste to add fluffy white tails! Adorable!

For the finishing touch she added the sentiment "Hoppy Easter" from the Hoppy Greetings Stamp Set, stamped and embossed in white onto a black banner that was die cut out using the small banner from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. 

We hope this card has inspired you to get a jump start on your Spring crafting! 

Thank you,Tatiana, for the inspiration! To see more of her beautiful work, you can visit Tatiana at her blog, Tatiana Trafimovich!

Llama Birthday Fun Card by Samantha Mann

Llama Birthday Fun! 

Today we are celebrating a fun birthday with this adorable card by Samantha!

For this card she featured the adorable llama from our Loveable Llamas Stamp Set. She colored the llama in fun neutral tones with added dots for texture on the fur. She also colored the blanket to add to his back and the potted cacti to add onto her card. These images were all cut out using the coordinating Loveable Llamas Die Set. She also added a bow tie and birthday hat to accessorize the llama, stamped from the Pug Hugs Stamp Set and cut out with the coordinating Pug Hugs Die Set. How adorable is that!?

Then, for her card base, she created a starry background on the top half using our  Cascading Stars Stencil with distress inks. 

To create the customized sentiment she stamped the sentiment from the Loveable Llamas Stamp Set, using masking to use the only the words "have a" and "fun on your birthday" by themselves, embossing each on their own black banner.  Then she cut the letters to spell "llama" from the center of her card, using the Essential Alphabet Die Set. She added the black banners with the stamped words onto each side to complete the fun sentiment running across the card! How cool! 

We hope you enjoyed this amazing card today and are inspired to create some fun and creative birthday cards of your own! With a little creativity you can put together fun custom sentiments too!

Flying Butterflies Card by Farhana Sarker

   

Flying Butterflies! 

Today we have a unique and creative card by Farhana featuring a kitty and butterflies that are suspended by fishing line!

For this card, she started by creating a card front with an oval window. She covered her card front with clouds using a printed paper from our Springtime Paper Pad. Then she cut the oval out of the center using our Oval Frames Die Set. 

Next, she stamped and colored the kitty with a butterfly net from our Captivated Kittens Stamp Set. She colored the kitty in neutral tones and used the coordinating Captivated Kittens Die Set to cut the image out. She added the kitty to the lower corner of the oval frame. 

To create the fun suspended butterflies she stamped a bunch little butterflies from the Newton's Blooms Stamp Set, Gnome Garden Stamp Set, Daffodils Stamp Set and Bitty Bunnies Stamp Set. She colored all these pretty butterflies, make two of each so they could be two sided. She cut them all out with the coordinating die sets.  Then she adhered them to fishing line, back to back, with the fishing line glued between them. Then she attached the fishing lines at the top and bottom. The little butterflies look as if they are suspended in the sky and can spin back and forth too! Here is an image of how that looks from the inside of the card:

And here is the finished card when it is closed. She also added the sentiment "Meow's it going?"  from our Captivated Kittens Stamp Set, stamped onto the stitched rounded edge banner from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. 

What a fun technique! How cool would it be to receive a card like this in the mail!?

Time to Celebrate! Birthday Card by Jennifer Jackson

A Birthday Celebration!

Hello! Jen here today with a super fun birthday card! If you're like me, you can never have too many birthday cards on hand so it's essential to take some time and make some for your collection! 

To create this celebratory card I started with the big circle image from our Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set. This image is jam packed with fun birthday icons and I colored them using copic markers in shades of teal, yellow, pink, and red. I cut the image out using our Circle Frames Die Set to give it a fun scalloped edge. 

For the card, I chose a yellow card base and added sparkly confetti over the top using our Confetti Stencil with a glittery texture paste. I love how much this sparkles! Then I layered the circle over the top wiht a strip of black and white striped washi tape and a red banner from our Frames & Flags Die Set behind it. I also cut a teal banner using our Banner Trio Die Set to hold the sentiment, embossed in white. I love this layering of pattern and color! A bit of white baker's twine adds a finishing touch. 

This birthday stamp is just one of the many fun designs in our Roundabout line. You can visit our Circle Card Front category to see them all! 

Happy Crafting!

Easter Egg Treat Box by Ellen Haxelmans

 

A Special Easter Treat!

Today Ellen is sharing how you can decorate a simple treat box to make a special Easter treat! 

She started out by stamping the adorable image of the bunny and Easter basket from our Hop Into Spring Stamp Set. She used fun spring colors and added extra dots to the rabbits fur for a fun special detail! The image was cut out using the coordinating Hop Into Spring Stamp Set. 

She framed this image by using the decorative square die from our Frames Squared Die Set and cutting out a piece of yellow polka dotted paper from our Springtime Paper Pad. Then she adhered this to the top of a cute little purple easter egg holder. So cute!

Don't forget to embellish the inside:

Inside the lid, she added fun custom sentiment. The letters to spell "Happy" were cut out of a blue polka dot paper from our Springtime Paper Pad using our Essential Alphabet Die Set. The speech bubble was cut out of a yellow polka dot paper from our Springtime Paper Pad using our Speech Bubbles Die Set. The word "easter" is from the Spring Pile Up Die Set. 

What a special way to present a treat!

Rainy Day Slimline Card by Samantha Mann

Brighten a Rainy Day with Cute Umbrellas! 

With spring comes rainy days but this card by Samantha will make any rainy day brighter!

For this incredible rainy day card she used those cute animal shaped umbrellas from our Umbrella Pals Stamp Set. She stamped and colored all those fun animal friends in a rainbow of run colors, using the coordinating Umbrella Pals Die Set to cut them out. 

For her card base, she chose to create a slimline layout and cut out a long scalloped panel using our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. Over this panel she used two stencils to create a fun rainy day sky. Along the top half she used our Raindrops Stencil with black ink for a dark rainy sky.

Along the bottom half she used our Sunscape Stencil with yellow ink and glitter paste to create the beginning of a sunny sky sneaking through. Isn't that such a fun idea!? Those rainbow colored umbrellas over the top really pop off the background. She also embossed the sentiment "You make rainy days brighter" from the Umbrella Pals Stamp Set in white over the dark area. 

We hope this card has brightened your day!

Pitter Patter of Puppy Feet Card by Maria Russell

 

Celebrate a New Puppy! 

Today Maria is sharing an adorable card that is perfect for celebrating a new puppy! 

This card features the cute little pup, dog house and accessories from our Welcome New Dog Stamp Set. She colored all these images using neutrals and fun bright reds and greens. Then she used the coordinating Welcome New Dog Die Set to cut them out. 

She created a scene for this cute pup using our Oval Frames Die Set. She used the scalloped edge die set to frame the scene, coloring a blue edge inside the stitching and adding hand drawn details with a white gel pen. Then sue used the slightly smaller oval die to cut out a cloudy background using a piece of patterned paper from our Springtime Paper Pad. The grass was added using our Land Borders Die Set. What a perfect way to set the scene. The pup and all the puppy items were then arranged over the top. 

For the background she used our new Petite Paw Prints Stencil to create a fun inked background to add to the pet theme. The finishing touch is the sentiment "Enjoy the pitter pater of puppy feet" embossed in white onto a black square of cardstock. 

This card would be perfect for sending to a new pet parent!
